Density off The Drive: Five storeys of rental for Grant Street

There aren’t a ton of details, but a five-storey market rental building is slated for the 1500-block Grant Street near Commercial Drive.

The new building, designed by Stuart Howard Architects Inc., will include 35 secured market rental units, replacing four single family homes at 1535-1557 Grant Street.

  • 11 two-bedroom 
  • eight three/four bedroom (again, not specified)

There will be 23 parking stalls, including one car share spot. Amenities will include a shared rooftop garden and outdoor dining area.
