The development arm of Graham Construction, GRACORP, is proposing an 18-storey rental tower in the Cambie Corridor.
The development site at 427-449 W 39th Avenue, between Cambie and Alberta streets is part of the Cambie Corridor Phase 3 Plan, which allows for increased density in the predominantly single-family neighbourhood.

The building will utilize a fully electric, low-carbon energy system and feature air conditioning, exceeding the required sustainability performance limits.
A publicly accessible mid-block connection is planned between West 39th and the laneway, and a total of 69 underground parking stalls and 337 bicycle parking spaces will be provided.
