fabric is excited to share that we have submitted an application to rezone 3295 & 3333 Commercial Drive, Vancouver. This application aims to increase the available rental housing options in the Kensington-Cedar Cottage neighborhood with 115 new secured, purpose-built market rental units!

East Vancouver, particularly the neighborhood near Trout Lake, is a vibrant and diverse community known for its residential charm and natural beauty. The area features a mix of older homes, new developments and a variety of local businesses, reflecting on the neighborhood’s eclectic and inclusive character. The neighborhood benefits from excellent public transit and proximity to Clark Park and Trout Lake. Commercial Drive’s strong sense of community bolstered by various cultures and incredible dining scene makes it an attractive area for families and young professionals.

The future residents of this 5-storey rental project will benefit from some amazing, proposed-amenities, inspired by the boutique hotel experience: an outdoor amenity roof deck, kids’ play area, an interior amenity space and even a pool! Not to mention all the amenities, cafes and restaurants that are just a few minutes walk from their front door on Commercial Street and The Drive – recently ranked the 5th Coolest Street in the World by Time Out!

The proposed project includes high quality architectural design by TKA+D Architecture + Design Inc. and landscaping design by Hapa Collaborative. Public realm improvements such as enhanced streetscapes and a plan to incorporate voluntary public art, will further enrich the neighbourhood promoting a sense of community and engagement among residents and the community as a whole!
