Description
Project focuses on unlocking the full development potential of residential sites through strategic rezoning, precise policy alignment, and context-forward design. By navigating CD-1 pathways, optimizing FAR and height, and integrating the most current municipal guidelines, projects can achieve faster approvals and stronger long-term value. Each design approach prioritizes both development performance and public realm quality, resulting in buildings that are highly efficient, contextually appropriate, and deeply livable.
Rezoning & Density Strategy
A core strength lies in the ability to reposition conventional residential properties into CD-1 Comprehensive Development zones. Through detailed analysis of zoning potential, massing optimization, and site-specific urban conditions, projects can achieve significant increases in FAR, height, and development capacity. This strategic framework allows sites to move beyond the limitations of existing land-use designations and reach a higher, more profitable development tier.
Policy Intelligence & Approval Efficiency
Projects are planned with careful alignment to Vancouver’s most current planning frameworks, including the Broadway Plan, Cambie Corridor guidelines, TOA policies, high-density housing requirements, and View Cone regulations. Early integration of these policies reduces approval risks, avoids avoidable redesign cycles, and accelerates the municipal review process. By anticipating regulatory expectations and leveraging policy opportunities, developments advance more efficiently while maximizing allowable density, height, and overall project value.
Community-Oriented, Livable Design
Design decisions emphasize a balanced approach between market objectives, residential comfort, and neighborhood quality. Considerations such as sunlight access, privacy, streetscape activation, green space integration, and massing transitions are incorporated to ensure long-term livability for residents and positive contributions to the surrounding community. The result is development that not only optimizes yield and efficiency, but also elevates the public realm through thoughtful, sustainable, and contextually responsive architecture.
