Condos for land assembly next to Langara-49th Ave. station

A rezoning application for a 14-storey condo tower next to the Langara-49th Avenue Canada Line station is being considered.

Transca Development is behind the project, with a design by GBL Architects. The development will include:

  • 128 market strata units
  • commercial retail space at grade
  • childcare facility of 4,665 sq ft. on the 5th floor
  • 130 vehicle parking spaces and 220 bicycle parking spaces

GBL Architects states: “Passive design is integral to the form of the building and clearly expressed in the building elevations.” The window-to-wall ratio will be approximately 40 per cent, and suites and the amenity room will be heated and cooled by 4 pipe fan coils, and ventilated by HRVs.
