Colonnade BridgePort intends to develop the site, municipally known as 1330 Avenue K but also informally known as 25 Pickering Place, as a mixed use community. The first stage of this is to subdivide the site into six building lots, one lot for a park and one public and one private street.
A concept plan for the site was prepared by Hobin Architecture and this guided the Draft Plan. The proposed uses have not yet been confirmed, but the development will likely include residential uses along with complementary commercial uses. The uses being considered are all permitted under the current zoning provisions. The final use mix will be finalised in individual site plan applications.
A 1,482m2 park is proposed as the central unifying feature of the development, as Block 5 on the Draft Plan.
Most of the subject site is designated ‘TOD Density Code’ TD3 which has a height limit of 30 storeys and a people density of 550+. A small section in the eastern part of the site is TD2 with a height limit of 20 storeys and a density of 400-1000 people per hectare.
The height limits are respected, not just as maximums but as genuine guidance. The proposed heights are likely going to be close to the suggested heights (i.e, not four storeys where 30 is recommended).
