Onni has submitted a rezoning application to the City of Burnaby for the office tower component of their 12.2 acre Gilmore Place development, now in site clearing for Phase 1 which includes three residential towers.

The office building component is located in Phase 2 of the project, on the Southern portion of the site adjacent the Gilmore Skytrain Station and along Dawson Street. In addition to the office tower, Phase 2 will include two residential highrises fronting Dawson Street (to be submitted as future rezoning applications).

The proposed office building includes:

• a 37-storey office tower;
• a 3-storey commercial podium;
• 695,614 SF of office space;
• approx. 20,000 SF floorplates;
• a total density of 7.10 FAR (in Phase 2);
• 1,453 underground parking spaces (for Phases 1, 2 & 3)
• a projected occupancy date of Q2 2024.

A development application has been submitted for a 12,422 SF, three lot land assembly on Nanaimo Street near Kingsway (at Galt Street) in East Vancouver. The proposal consists of a 4-storey building, including:

• 27 condo units;
• a total density of 1.97 FSR;
• a building height of 44.95 ft.;
• two levels of underground parking providing a total of 33 parking spaces having vehicular access from the lane.

The building is split level and so the elevator will have two doors.

Under the site’s existing RM-9AN zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

The architect for the project is Matthew Cheng.
