WE BELIEVE
WE BELIEVE
• Cities should aspire to authentic legibility over time.
• Authentic, distinguished cities benefit economically over time.
• Economic investment in placemaking compounds itself over time.
• Relevant placemaking strengthens community identity over time.

INDENTITY THROUGH LEGIBILITY
New development opportunity should reinforce the legibility of the downtown’s recognized dome‐shaped skyline when viewed from longer distances. Appropriate form and scale to “fill the gaps” can strengthen the image of the city.

GRANVILLE + 70TH AVENUE
Height 1 = 193.32 ft Height 2 = 154.50 ftHeight 3 = 82.65 ftTotal Floor Space Ratio = 2.81 Total Floor Area = 362746.1 sq. ft.
GRANVILLE + 70TH AVENUE
TOD COMMENTARY: “Alternative form of development emphasizing “processional” role of Granville Street, while introducing mid‐rise form over large format grocery store, would have reduced apparent project scale while increasing overall floor area in support of the local TOD “heart”.”
4/2/2014
29
CAMBIE + MARINE DRIVE
Height = 350 ft.Total FSR = 4.2 (more commercial than residential)Site Size = 210,113 sq. ft.Number of Units = 461 units
CAMBIE + MARINE DRIVE
TOD COMMENTARY: “More direct integration with the east side upper platform towards 24/7 access to cultural amenities (movie theatres) would have increased pedestrian vibrancy, CPTED performance and retail viability.”
4/2/2014
30
CAMBIE +41ST AVENUE
Height up to 450 feetTotal FSR = 3.7 FSRSite Size = 1,230,000 sq. ft.Number of Units = 2,900 unitsValue of public amenities offered = $148.7 million
CAMBIE +41ST AVENUE
TOD COMMENTARY: “Large scale, transformative initiative for long standing suburban mall appropriately announces the stature of this important TOD location at the nexus of two significant cross‐town transit lines, at a topographic high point in the city, while introducing new large scale, locally serving recreational and cultural amenities. An array of slim tower forms maximizes ground oriented public open space footprint, and related solar performance, while minimizing impact on prevailing lease arrangements with longstanding tenants towards overall project viability.”

BROADWAY‐ ARBUTUS TO MAIN ST
Projected employment: 20,000 new jobs over 30 yearsProjected capacity: 6 – 7 million square feet of office development over 30 years
BROADWAY‐ ARBUTUS TO MAIN ST
TOD COMMENTARY: “Undergrounding of transit service between Main and Arbutus Streets, if properly designed and funded, could transform the Broadway Corridor into a “Great Street” by eliminating the 2 outboard parking lanes, thus reducing the road section from 6 to 4 lanes, in favor of new public realm investment and placemaking.”

32
BROADWAY + CAMBIE
Height = 80 ft.Floor Space Ratio = 3.3 Area = 293,610 sq. ft.Number of units = 96
BROADWAY + CAMBIE
TOD COMMENTARY: “Greater height, and related mixed use capacity, would have increased civic stature for such an important TOD location at the nexus of 2 major underground transit alignments.”
4/2/2014
33
BROADWAY + MAIN
Height = 65.53 m (215ft)Site area = 4,978.7 sm (53,590 sq. ft.)Floor Space Ratio = 5.55Overall project area = 28,050 sm (including storage) (302,000 sq. ft.)Number of units =257
BROADWAY + MAIN
TOD COMMENTARY:“Given the proximity to an anticipated light rail station across the street, the project could have enjoyed a substantive increase in overall density available under prevailing zoning by integrating the development capacity of the adjacent derelict street ROW (fronting surface parking lot owned by the City) which would have produced greater TOD retail/residential yield while also creating an endowment of approximately $3‐5 million towards new cultural facilities (cherished locally serving theatre and bowling alley). AKA “Asphalt to Arts”.”

BROADWAY + COMMERCIAL
Specifics to be determined
BROADWAY + COMMERCIAL
TOD COMMENTARY: “Integration of existing Expo Line Station into large scale mixed use development could increase TOD commercial, office and residential capacities immediately proximic to the station while also achieving new market value towards more efficient land use including new grocery store facility and an array of public open spaces with excellent solar exposure. Potential integrated TOD form of development could also emphasize the “community heart” at 10th Avenue and Commercial Drive by increasing transit patronage towards animating public open spaces, improving 24/7 vibrancy, enhancing locally serving commercial viability and CPTED performance.”

OLYMPIC VILLAGE
Site area = 381,910 sq. ft.Floor Space Ratio = 3.4Number of units = 1,104
OLYMPIC VILLAGE
TOD COMMENTARY: “A demonstration community resulting from an integrated design process at the neighbourhood/precinct scale that enjoys multi‐modal interconnection (walking/bikes/ferries/streetcar/light rail) in proximity to the “village heart”. Transportation infrastructure is conceived to announce, and animate, public spaces towards establishing local identity, and ensuring related retail viability.”

THE RIDGE THEATRE
Height = 58.34 ft.Floor Space Ratio = 2.56 Area = 82,123 sq. ft.Number of Units = 52
THE RIDGE THEATRE
TOD COMMENTARY: “Given the proximity to an anticipated light rail station across the street, the project could have enjoyed a substantive increase in overall density available under prevailing zoning by integrating the development capacity of the adjacent derelict street Right of Way (fronting surface parking lot owned by the City) which would have produced greater TOD retail/residential yield while also creating an endowment of approximately $3‐5 million towards new cultural facilities (cherished locally serving theatre and bowling alley). AKA “Asphalt to Arts”.”
