A rezoning application has been submitted for 6380 & 6420 Silver Avenue by Belford Properties for two highrise towers on the 81,400 SF site. The application seeks rezoning under the C-2 and RM-5s designations in the Metrotown Centre Plan.
A previous rezoning application had been made in 2012 for 6380 Silver Avenue alone, but it was determined by the City that the lot area was insufficient to support a tall tower.
Two more residential projects are being proposed for the Brentwood Town Centre area of Burnaby:
1. Brentwood Mall Residential Tower 2
After selling out Tower 1 in a day last month, Shape Properties is pushing ahead with rezoning for Tower 2, which will be nearly identical in height at 53-storeys. This tower will similarly contain 591 units, with rental apartments on the lower floors, and 291 condo units above. The total height will be 611 ft., or approximately the same height at the Trump Tower downtown.
2. Willingdon and Dawson Lowrise
Amacon is proposing a 5-storey residential building with commercial on the ground floor; totalling 75 units. The total density is 2.1 FAR.
The site is ideally located near all of the highrise activity in the area.

This is a small infill development in Fairview. It replaces a house that in turn was once the Purdy’s Chocolate Factory. The factory moved away in 1982, and the former factory became home to a live-work studio for both artist Mary Filer, a glass sculptor, and her husband Harold Spence-Sales, an urban planner. The replacement, designed by Gateway Architecture, will have a five-storey, six-unit residential building that follows the slope of the site by terracing down five storeys.Source: Changing City
