Ledingham McAllister has submitted a rezoning bylaw amendment application to proceed with development of the next phase of Southgate City, the massive redevelopment project on the 52 acre site in the Edmonds area of South Burnaby.

Southgate City was approved via rezoning for a master plan in 2015 to include up to 5.9 Million SF of residential density. This particular phase had a rezoning application in 2016, however, that application did not proceed and the City of Burnaby’s Rental Use Zoning Policy now applies to the overall master plan of the project.

This first phase is located in the Gateway Neighbourhood, comprising two City-owned lots that will form the Western entrance to the overall master planned site.

The site will be divided into three lots: the City will retain ownership of Lot B, the eastern lot fronting Eighteenth Street, and lease it to BC Housing for development of non-market rental housing. The City would also retain ownership of the western lot fronting Griffiths Avenue, which would include an urban trail and park. The central lot, Lot A, which is to front the future Southgate Boulevard, is intended to be the subject of a land exchange between the City and Ledingham for an equally sized and designated site within the remaining Southgate Master Plan. The central lot would be developed by Ledingham for a condo tower.

The plan includes a 41-storey condo tower over a six-storey podium, and a 37 storey non-market residential tower over a six-storey podium. Further details include:

• 926 residential units;
• 421 condos;
• 37 studios, 160 one-beds, 197 two-bedrooms & 27 three-bedrooms;
• 505 non-market rental;
• 94 studios, 205 one-beds, 164 two-bedrooms & 42 three-bedrooms;
• a total density of 6.16 FAR (see table below);
• 16,000 SF in amenity facilities;
• construction of new roads including Southgate Boulevard;
• 740 underground parking stalls.

The architect for the project is IBI Group.
