5250-5270 Ash St and 595 W 37th Ave rezoning application

Revised application (July 2, 2026)

The City of Vancouver has received a proposed revision to the conditionally approved rezoning application to permit changes to the height and density of the development. The proposed revisions are as follows:

• A decrease in number of social housing units from 77 to 65;
• A decrease in the floor space ratio (FSR) from 3.1 to 2.5;
• A decrease in floor area from 7,397.8 sq. m (79,629 sq. ft.) to 5,960 sq. m (64,153 sq. ft.);
• A decrease in the number of storeys from 6 to 5-storeys; and
• A decrease in height from 21.5 m (71 ft.) to 18.4 m (60 ft).

Note: This site consists of the floor area social housing requirement consolidated from the rezoning application at 5392-5472 Manson St and is to be delivered turnkey to the City. On October 21, 2025, updates to the Cambie Corridor Plan were enacted which included a reduction to the social housing requirement for strata developments from 30% to 20% of the residential floor area. A separate application to revise the rezoning at the Manson St site is being processed concurrently with this project.
