Morguard has submitted a significant high density mixed-use project, in the
Burquitlam-Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan area of Coquitlam, immediately adjacent to the Burquitlam SkyTrain Station.

Their development application for redevelopment of the 7.9 acre Burquitlam Plaza Shopping Centre site, located at the northeast corner of Clarke Road and Smith Avenue, goes to council for preliminary approval next week.

The project includes 6 residential towers, of 53, 43, 33, 33, 29 & 29-storeys in height, with retail and office space. The proposal includes:

  • 2,195 residential units (potentially all rental, or condo & rental);
  • 84,626 sq ft of office & retail space;
  • a total density of 5.50 FAR;
  • a total density of 1.9 Million SF;
  • a one acre, at grade urban courtyard.

Given the scope of the project and the number of elements to be addressed, it is estimated that the application could proceed for consideration of First Reading at Council in the second half of 2022.
