The Kits Walk project at 2075 West 12th Avenue is nearing a start, with the site having been cleared for construction. Developed by Strand with design by Yamamoto Architecture, the project is another rental addition for the City of Vancouver.
The building will be six storeys, with a height of 63.75 feet and a gross floor area of 38,796 square feet. All units will be market rental, with three studio, 20 one-, 15 two-, and 10 three-bedroom units for a total of 48. There will be 32 vehicle parking spaces and 60 bicycle spaces.
The project will target LEED Gold certification, with water use efficiency, energy efficiency, and air venting components used to achieve this. The building is in an excellent neighbourhood, with a 96 walk score and a variety of shops and restaurants nearby. The building will be located near several parks, including Arbutus Greenway, Connaught Park, and the Arbutus Greenway. Kitsilano Community Centre is only 800 metres away. The site is well served by transit, with the 016 bus available right outside the building, and the Broadway bus lines 500 metres away. The property will also be located just a few minutes away from Arbutus station on the future Millennium Line Broadway Extension.
SkyriseVancouver will be sure to return to this project as progress continues. For more information, check out the associated Database file and Forum thread, and as always, feel free to join the conversation in the comments section below.
