Plans are coming together for the Southgate neighbourhood, the 48-acre Safeway distribution centre that was sold to Ledingham McAllister in 2012. The City of Burnaby has been working through a draft plan since last year and has now released a concept for the site.

Overall Site Plan

The preliminary plan includes the following:

• A gross density of 2.8 FAR
• 5.8 Million SF of Market Residential
• 200,000 SF of Commercial Space
• Approx. 20 towers up to 46-storeys in height
• 15-20 year build-out
