What’s Your Vision for 1818 Cornwall?
by Maggie Chandler on June 26, 2009
in Uncategorized
Currently an office building, 1818 Cornwall sits on the corner of Cypress & Cornwall in Vancouver’s Kitsilano. It used to be a Coca Cola bottling plant prior to being converted to an office building in the early ’80s. The building is owned by a Canadian Pension Fund who say it is near the end of its life cycle and doesn’t meet current energy efficiency and sustainability standards.
Re-investment in the building to extend its life for the longer term is not an economically viable solution. Currently there is no redevelopment plan for the property. Brook & Associates, development planning consultants and Walter Franci Architects have joined the Bentall team (property-managers) to work with the community and City to create a plan for redevelopment of the site.
Their intention is to create a development that performs above conventional building standards, a building that will have minimal impact on the environment. Any development on the site will meet or exceed LEED Gold standards.
After hosting a series of public Open Houses and a Workshop to seek the community’s input into the use and form of the proposed project, they will prepare and submit a rezoning application for the site that will permit a new development.
Visit their website and submit comments and questions if you live in the neighbourhood.
