Housing Development Opportunity: 1501 – 1st St. S
The project site is located near downtown Cranbrook, with easy access to amenities, schools, BC transit hub, parks, shopping, SOOm from a major grocery store and right next door to Baker Park. A 3O unit mixed-use apartment building composed of studio, 1 and 2-bedroom units, and a social/ community care use, or small-scale commercial at grade is envisioned for this site. This project presents an opportunity to inject some vibrancy in the downtown by activating an underutilized piece of land and inviting more people into the space.
As the first purpose-built market rental in the downtown on City-owned land, this project has an opportunity to set the standard for future medium-density mixed-use builds in the downtown core. Existing on the parcel, there is a seniors housing development, composed of six 4-unit townhome units, known as Baker Gardens. This site is centered between them. Baker Gardens operates through a leasehold subdivision and is managed by Canadian Mental Health Association. The zoning for the site is specific to the development, allowing for the mixed-use collaborative approach to the development.
