Windsor Apartments

Overview

Windsor Apartments is a well maintained three-storey 20-suite apartment building in Mount Pleasant, one of Vancouver’s most sought-after rental markets. Built in 1967 on a 12,047 SF lot (99’ x 122’), the building features 20 one-bedroom suites, 8 parking stalls (4 covered, 4 surface), 12 storage lockers, and one set of leased washer / dryer.

Building upgrades include new double pane windows and sliding doors (2021); re-piping of domestic hot & cold water lines (2019); electrical breakers in every suite (2013); roof replacement (2011) and boiler replacement (2010).

The property also offers future redevelopment potential based on its high-density designation within the Broadway Plan, permitting rezoning for up to 20-storeys and 6.5 FSR.

Broadway Plan

The site is located within Mount Pleasant North Apartment Area – Area B (MNAB) within the Broadway Plan. MNAB allows rezoning for up to 20-storeys and 6.5 FSR as a secured market rental building with 20% of floor space at below-market rents.

The MNAB area has a 150-foot minimum frontage requirement, with provisions for a conditional relaxation to 99 feet. The properties west of the building on the same block have a different Broadway Plan designation, suggesting it’s possible the City of Vancouver will permit a relaxation as there is no opportunity to increase the frontage within the MNAB district.
