Amacon Development is planning to develop a tower on the Eastern edge of Metrotown in Burnaby. The 37,071 SF site is an assembly of four lots on Dunblane, Marlborough and Imperial Streets.  The site is currently improved with four older lowrise apartment buildings and has a high density RM-5s designation. The proposed project includes:

• a 27-storey tower with townhouses on Marlborough and Imperial
• 177 units
• a total density of 4.88 FAR (172,717 SF)
• 197 underground parking spaces
• a CAC equivalent to $120 per buildable SF ($6,745,200)

A rezoning application has been filed with the District of North Vancouver for a 9-unit townhouse project in the Lynn Creek area, specifically on Forsman Road, just North of the Highway near the Seymour/Keith Road interchange. The plan is to replace two single family lots that are designated as Residential Level 3, with townhouses. Details include:

• 9 3-storey townhouses in three buildings
• All 3-bedroom units ranging from 1,644 SF to 1,816 SF
• Total density of 0.7 FSR
• Building heights of 40.5 ft
• 20 total parking stalls (garage stalls)

A 42,000 SF, C-Class office building on Hornby Street has sold to Bene Development for $25,500,000, or approximately $625 per SF. The building is currently occupied by Copeman Healthcare, among other tenants. The building sits on a 12,000 SF site.

In what has become one of the most rapidly densifying areas of Metro Vancouver, two more tower proposals are closer to reality in the Brentwood Town Centre area of Burnaby. Both projects were introduced previously but are now at first reading with the City of Burnaby.

1846-1904 Gilmore Avenue

This 58,234 SF site at the corner of Gilmore and Halifax was originally proposed for rezoning back in 2012, but the application was withdrawn. The current proposal includes:

• 340 units
• a total density of 5.0 FAR
• 408 underground parking spaces

Polygon Homes is proposing a new project entitled ‘Fulton House’ on an 80,967 SF site on Madison Avenue, South of Lougheed. The plan was originally for a 35-storey tower in 2014, but the revised proposal now includes:

• a 41-storey condo tower
• below and above-ground structured parking
• 300 units
• a total density of 3.6 FAR
• 349 parking spaces

Intracorp has filed an application for an RM-8N zoned, 5-lot land assembly on Granville Street at Park Drive/West 59th Ave that was rezoned in the Marpole Community Plan in 2014. The plan for the site includes:

• five 2.5 storey courtyard townhouse buildings
• 26 three-bedroom townhouse units
• one level of underground parking
• 41,095 SF
• a total density of 1.20 FSR

The architect for the project is SHIFT architecture.
