Chip Wilson, former CEO of Lululemon, has reportedly acquired 1770 West 7th Avenue, a 5-storey, 75,000 SF office building located at Burrard and West 7th. The building, built in 1985, was sold for $32,625,000, or $430 per SF.
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.
Bentall Kennedy has submitted a rezoning application for the site it owns at 1090 West Pender Street, currently an 11-storey office building.
Bentall acquired the property from West Pender Property Group in 2011 for $19,500,000 as part of a transaction that included a trade of 50% interest in 1050 West Pender Street.
The plan calls for a new 31-storey office building with:
- 564,000 SF of office space with retail and service uses on the lower two levels;
- 486 underground parking spaces;
- a total density of 18.0 FSR
- a total height of 403 ft. (about the same height as Bentall 3)

The Goldilocks Bakery property at the Southwest corner of West Broadway and Fir has sold for $4,350,000. The 6,250 SF site was listed for sale for $4,500,000. The Bakery does not have a lease and will likely vacate.
