Beedie Planning 356 Units for Austin Heights Safeway Site
Beedie Living has submitted a rezoning and development permit application to the City of Coquitlam for the Safeway site at 1029-1033 Austin Avenue. The application seeks to permit the development of two residential towers integrated with the Safeway store currently under construction.
The 2.27 acre site is currently partly under development for a new Safeway store with a scheduled opening of Summer 2019. The recently approved Austin Heights Neighbourhood Plan allows redevelopment of the site. The concept is for two towers to flank the new Safeway store, built in two phases.
The proposal calls for:
- Two residential highrises of 26 and 27-storeys in height;
- 356 total condo units;
- 167 one-bedrooms, 153 two-bedrooms, 32 three-bedrooms and 4 four-bedrooms;
- 10 units of non-market housing;
- a total density of 3.97 FAR;
- 741 underground parking spaces (including currently contemplated Safeway spaces).
- A density bonus funds payment of $5,180,000.
The architect for the project is Chris Dikeakos Architects.
