Proposal also includes plan for residents of ‘Pink Palace’ once it’s redeveloped
Two options are on the table for the redevelopment of the Shoreline Apartment site in West Vancouver.
The Shoreline is an 11-storey rental tower built in 1963 at 2190 Bellevue Ave.
James KM Cheng Architects is presenting two options to the District of West Vancouver — and both options include two rental apartment buildings to replace the Shoreline.
Option 1
- Two towers of 17 and six storeys
- 162 market rental units
- 24 non-market rental units
- 139 parking stalls
Option 2
- Two towers of 21 and six storeys
- 206 market rental units
- 24 non-market rental units
- 182 parking stalls
All of the existing tenants at the Shoreline would be offered a compensation and relocation package, as well as the opportunity to move into the new building once complete, at market rents.
The Shoreline is close to the ‘Pink Palace’ — the Villa Marais — built in 1965 and also owned by the same family. Redevelopment of the property has been rumoured for several years.
The development proposal also hints redevelopment of the iconic pink apartment tower is in the cards, with contingency plans floated for its tenants. The Shoreline and the Villa Marais are owned by the same family.
The application states that if the Villa Marais (Pink Palace) is to be redeveloped in the near future, its tenants would be offered rental suites at market rents in the newly constructed buildings at 2190 Bellevue.
The Villa Marais site would then be redeveloped as a market condominium tower – hopefully paying tribute to its South Beach-style colour scheme.
The development proposal will be discussed at the June 22, 2020 District of West Vancouver council meeting.
