Market Spotlight: Burnaby Rezoning Activity
Here is an update to some of the rezoning applications that have been advanced to public hearing at Burnaby City council this week:
7201 11th Avenue (Southgate City – Phase 2)
This proposal is the second phase of land to go through rezoning in Ledingham McAllister’s “Southgate City” master planned community in South Burnaby. The plan for this plot in the ‘Island Neighbourhood’ in the Southwest corner of the site includes:

This “L” shaped property is owned by Transca Development, who acquired the assembly of four Metrotown lowrise apartments in February 2016 for $28,700,000 and submitted an initial rezoning inquiry at that time.
