Holy Eucharist Cathedral Development
New Westminster, BC
Currently at the preliminary approval stage, this development will offer new childminding facilities and rental housing in the heart of New Westminster.
The Holy Eucharist Eparchy of New Westminster has recently submitted a Pre-Approval Application for a proposed development on their 2 properties located at 501 4th Avenue and 408 Fifth Street. Once consolidated with an existing municipal lane, the 3 parcels of land will total approximately 24,000 square feet.
Working with SURF Architecture, the Eparchy Steering Committee, has developed a comprehensive plan for the amalgamated site. The plan retains the existing Cathedral and requires the demolition of the existing single family residence and two-level concrete vehicular parking structure located along the west side of the Cathedral.
With the removal of the existing aged structures, land becomes available to accommodate new on-site facilities. The proposed facilities program includes a mix of rental apartments, child minding facilities, a community room, below-grade parking and a new at-grade entrance into the Parish Hall.
