Location
JEMM’s Sunnyside site is located at 223-231 9A Street NW. The site is bordered to the north by a mid-rise multi-residential building, to the east by 9A Street and the LRT, to the west by a public lane, and to the south by low density detached homes.

Development Vision
JEMMโs vision for this 9A Street NW site is to create a mid-rise multi-residential building that showcases our commitment to best practices in sustainable city-building.
This proposal is grounded in the following key principles:
- Optimize the siteโs location near transit, especially the Sunnyside LRT Station located just 300 metres to the north.
- Increase housing options near Main Streets to support local businesses, walkability, and livability.
- Fulfill the vision of the Hillhurst-Sunnyside ARP by creating a truly transit-oriented development.
- Prioritize people over cars by ensuring the development supports active modes (walking, biking).
- Ensure a high-quality public realm with an emphasis on a safe, active, and inviting streetscape.
