Massive Edmonds Project Goes to Public Hearing
Although the deals offered at the Value Village in Edmonds will surely be missed, its replacement proposes to be a new community hub.
The rezoning application for a mixed-use development with three highrise residential towers, an office building, two-storey retail podium and underground parking in the Highgate area is headed to public hearing on Jan. 28, 2014.
The proposed redevelopment, at 7350 Edmonds Street and 7338 Kingsway Avenue, was first brought to council’s attention in July 2012. A Value Village and a multi-tenant building currently sit on the site.
“We are excited to build a landmark project that will add to the growth of the neighbourhood,” Michael Sengara, development coordinator with Cressey Development Group, told the Burnaby NOW. “This particular corner of Kingsway and Edmonds is a prominent one, and the office building on the corner is a reflection of that.”
IBI/HB Architects put forward the rezoning application on behalf of the developer, Cressey Development Group.
