48th + Cambie

This secure market rental development proposes a mid-rise building of ten storeys, in a form that adds a contemporary signature to the adjacent 49th/Langara Canada Line station on Cambie Street. The transit-oriented development is situated with significant setbacks off Cambie Street, due to the underground Canada Line station. This space will be transformed into a small public plaza flanked by retail spaces. Following the City of Vancouver Cambie Corridor guidelines, the building steps back at various floor levels – to respond to future three-storey massing on the east side of the site and a five-storey streetwall along Cambie. The facades are treated in two contrasting elements to reinforce the dynamic massing and setbacks, with brick wrapping around the base of the building and vertically up the southern façade. Metal and glass are used to differentiate the other facades. This project is seeking LEED Gold sustainability certification.
