Townline Homes has applied to the City of Vancouver to rezone the Quality Inn site at 1335 Howe Street from DD to CD-1 to permit a 40-storey residential building and includes:
· a density of 11.2 FSR
· 389 market condo units
· a 378 ft. tower with a 7-storey podium (height limited by view cone)
· 24,000 SF of transferred heritage density
· Average 6,500 SF tower floorplate
· a 37-space childcare facility
The site is 24,000 SF and is located mid-block, book-ended between two existing towers: an 18-storey with 7-storey podium building at 1379 Howe (The Executive Inn); and a 19-storey building with 7-storey podium building at 1311 Howe st. (Viva Tower).
The proposed project sits between two other active tower projects one block away: Vancouver House (59 storeys) and Tate (40 storeys).

1335 Howe Street would provide 68 Studios, 175 – 1 Bedroom homes, 133 – 2 Bedroom homes and 13 – 3 Bedroom homes.
Townline proposes to provide 24,000 SF (1 FSR) of Heritage Density available to be transferred to this site. The increased density would be subject to an appropriate urban design evaluation and a review of the building form. Redevelopment of this site with a tower form appears feasible in the context of existing neighboring buildings. Adequate building separations can be achieved with the introduction of an architecturally distinctive residential tower with generous balconies and a lower, residential double-loaded podium. Ground floor uses would be comprised of 5 townhomes, a water feature with outdoor art space, lobby and amenity. Furthermore, while it is early in the process, Townline has begun to discuss the possibility of including a daycare on the 8th level with city staff.
A seven storey podium is proposed to match the heights of its adjacent neighbours, continuing the existing robust streetwall which characterizes the area. The podium has continuous balconies along its Howe and lane facades. These balconies bring the building face (window wall) away from the street, increasing privacy and noise protection from the Granville Street Bridge on-ramp and Lane. The ground floor of the building, half obstructed by the Granville Street bridge on-ramp, is split between townhomes on the North side, a residential lobby at the centre of the site; and a residential amenity at the far south end. A niche has been carved on the ground level for a water feature and art area between lobby and townhomes.
The tower itself, is centered on the site to provide 80’ or more of building separation between tower elements on the block. The 40 storey tower is rectilinear in character with a 6,500 sf floor plate with no dimension greater than 90’. The height of the tower reaches the underside of the Queen Elizabeth View Cone at 459.5’ above sea level. The floors have a varigated balcony arrangement that provides visual interest along with two tones of glass. An art light feature is proposed as hanging luminairs between crossing balconies, a strip of white lamps runs on South balconies while a strip of black hanging lights runs on North balconies. The 2 storey penthouse units are set in from the building edge below with their second floor hiding the elevator machine rooms and mechanical rooms typically found in tower appurtenances.
