A six-storey condo block will go up in downtown Port Coquitlam.
And future homeowners there will have some cool perks that will be new for multi-family residences in the Tri-Cities.
Tuesday, committee of council OK’d a permit for Kutak Developments to start construction at 2446 Shaughnessy St. on One Shaughnessy, a 33-unit building at Atkins Avenue.
City staff said the building will have several unique amenities such as an automated stacked parking system, a dog grooming room, a workshop, a rooftop terrace and an electrical vehicle charging station for public use.
City staff also showed the committee a video example of the Klaus multi-parking design, a German-built space saver that can be used in underground parkades where the water table is high — as in downtown PoCo.
Mayor Brad West said One Shaughnessy will be a landmark in the core and he noted it also meets the city’s family-friendly development policies by having a mix of suites, including some three-bedroom units.
“I think that’s important to give people options,” he said.
One Shaughnessy won’t be the tallest building in the area: The city has issued a permit for a seven-storey apartment at 2279 Kelly Ave., to the southeast.
