Bosa Development Proposing Two Residential Towers, 815 Units in Brentwood

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.
