Canderel has submitted their rezoning application for a site they own at 3695 North Road in the Burquitlam area of Burnaby.

The 1.32 acre property is currently improved with a gas service station and an older two-storey office commercial building.

The proposal calls a 56-storey condo tower and a 43-storey non-market and market rental building, inclusive of a 10-storey commercial podium with an office component and street-fronting retail.

The rezoning would be based on the RM5s, RM5r and C3 zoning districts.

Details of the proposal include:

• 772 residential units;
• 456 condo units;
• 239 market rental units;
• 77 non-market rental units;
• Building heights of 612 ft. and 504 ft.;
• 164,000 SF of office space, 9,000 SF of retail space;
• a total density of 13.10 FAR (750,000 SF);
• 1,038 parking spaces.

The site sits adjacent to another large scale development proposal, including an 80-storey tower, by Pinnacle International.

The architect for the project is Chris Dikeakos Architects.

Bosa Development has submitted its rezoning application to the City of Burnaby for a 76,000 SF site they own at the southwest corner of Willingdon Avenue and Halifax Street in the Brentwood area of Burnaby.

The proposal seeks to rezone the site from its existing CD zoning utilizing the RM5s, RM5r and C3 districts and the Brentwood Town Centre Development Plan as guidelines.

The overall proposal is for two high-rise residential towers atop a non-market residential rental and commercial/retail podium with underground parking. The development is anticipated to be constructed over two main phases, with Phase 1 encompassing the western half of the site, and Phase 2 the eastern half.

Details include:

• a 60-storey condo tower (651 ft);
• a 43-storey rental & office tower (479 ft);
• 815 total units;
• 472 condo units;
• 266 market rental units;
• 77 non-market units;
• 200,000 SF of commercial space (13 floors of office);
• a total combined density of 12.66 FAR (970,000 SF);
• 1,794 parking spaces;
• a new public square known as ‘Buchanan Square’.

It is estimated that the two phases will be built over a 7-year time horizon, although that will be ultimately determined by market conditions.

The architect for the project is Chris Dikeakos Architects.
