Polygon Homes has a rezoning application at first reading tonight with the City of Burnaby for a 37-storey, 253 unit residential tower at Dunblane Avenue and Marlborough Avenue on the East side of Metrotown. The site at 6592/6650 Dunblane Avenue and 6579/6611 Marlborough Avenue is currently occupied by four walkup apartment buildings. This is a site first mentioned a year ago.
The Metrotown Town Centre Development Plan designates the subject site for high-density multiple-family development (RM5s), or 5.0 FAR.
To the west across Dunblane Avenue is the “Met I” development, a 35-storey tower with townhouses by Concord Pacific, which was rezoned and is currently under construction. To the northwest of the subject site and directly north of the “Met I” is the “Met II”, a 38-storey tower with townhouses fronting Nelson Avenue under rezoning, which is also
currently under construction.
