Condos and Rentals Proposed for Burquitlam Site
Amacon has submitted rezoning and development permit application for a 1.60 acre site in the rapidly developing Burquitlam area on the Western edge of Coquitlam.
The application proposes to rezone the site at 500 Foster Avenue and 633 North Road from the current RM-2 zoning to RM-6 in order to permit a new high density residential development. The site is located within the Burquitlam Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan and is designated High Density Apartment Residential in the OCP and is located within the Transit Corridor “Shoulder” area of Burquitlam-Lougheed in the Transit-Oriented Development Strategy (TDS).
The site is currently occupied by two, three-storey apartment buildings providing 89
units of rental housing which will be removed and replaced as part of the proposed development.
The development proposal includes:
- a 41-storey tower with 304 market condo units;
- 138 one-bedrooms, 136 two-bedrooms & 30 three-bedrooms;
- a 6-storey lowrise building with 93 rental units;
- 17 studios, 49 one-bedrooms, 17 two-bedrooms and 10 three-bedrooms;
- one retail unit totaling 1,700 SF;
- a total density of 5.0 FAR;
- 21,700 SF of amenity space;
- 448 underground parking spaces.
The architect for the project is Chris Dikeakos Architects.
