The West 4th and Macdonald intersection is set for a significant transformation as redevelopment projects introduce new low-rise, mixed-use buildings.
A major change will occur at Darby’s Public House and Liquor Store on the southwest corner, bringing a modern, cohesive streetscape to this vibrant part of Vancouver.
The new building at Darby’s corner, designed by Arcadis Architects, will span nearly 56,000 square feet with a floor area density three and a half times the lot size. According to Daily Hive, the project will combine retail, residential, and commercial spaces, supporting demand for urban living in Kitsilano.
With three out of four corners at this intersection slated for redevelopment, Kitsilano is embracing compact, pedestrian-friendly urban spaces that maintain its character while accommodating growth.
