A condo development has been proposed next to a popular Vancouver craft brewery in Mount Pleasant.

The intended six-storey residential building with commercial spaces on the ground level is north of Brassneck Brewery at 2148 Main Street.

The brewery was deemed to have the best tasting room by Georgia Straight readers in the paper’s 2016 Golden Plates survey.

If the project is approved by city hall, Brassneck will be sandwiched by a modern condo building to the north and, to the south, the Ashnola, a three-storey heritage building with residential and retail tenants.

The proposed development will take almost a full city block on the east side of Main Street, from East 5th Avenue to what is currently a car-detailing shop next to the brewery. Across Main Street from the site is the City Centre Motor Hotel.

The six-storey development is proposed to have 51 market homes and three levels of underground parking.

A rezoning application has been filed by Proscenium Architecture + Interiors Inc. under the Mount Pleasant Community Plan.

The neighbourhood plan, approved by the city in 2010, envisions the creation of an “urban community” along Main Street, from East 2nd Avenue to East 7th Avenue, with a “mix of residential, office, and retail uses”.

In November last year, council approved the rezoning of an entire city block on Main Street between East 2nd and East 3rd avenues. Aquilini Development will build a 12-storey high-rise on the site. The development will have 256 residential units.
