The former Oakridge Transit Centre (OTC) site spans 5.6 hectares in Vancouver The mater plan prioritizes sustainability, community engagement, and harmonious integration with the surrounding environment.
Phase 1 is comprised of three distinctive buildings strategically positioned for optimal sunlight exposure, minimal overlook, and expansive views. These include a 23-storey market condo tower in the southwest, an 18-storey tower with a six-storey podium for rentals in the southeast, and a 20-storey market condo tower on the north edge. The architectural design emphasizes harmony with earthy brick hues and bronze metal panels, creating a unified identity for the masterplan. Three-dimensional detailing, balconies, and articulated metal skins add warmth and contribute to a homey atmosphere. Green spaces, including the 41st Avenue Plaza, commercial mews, and outdoor amenity areas, are strategically located throughout, offering recreational opportunities. Approximately 23,500 square feet of commercial space along 41st Avenue enhances vibrancy and accessibility, promoting a dynamic streetscape.
Phase 1 provides diverse housing options catering to various income levels, aligning with family-oriented guidelines. Sustainability is a key focus, incorporating green infrastructure, rainwater management, and a potential Low Carbon District Energy System (LCDES). Pedestrian and cycling connections seamlessly link the OTC site to the larger community, fostering sustainable mobility.
