Onni has submitted a rezoning application for the next phase of their Gilmore Place project in the Brentwood area of Burnaby. The first two condo towers have received occupancy in 2024. The first phase includes three towers.

Phase 2 of the project also includes three towers. The first tower of this phase was originally envisioned as a highrise office tower, but has now been revised to residential.

Onni is proposing to deliver the non-market inclusionary units envisioned in the second and third phase in Tower 4, originally envisioned as a 30-storey office tower, and now a 65-storey, 759 unit residential tower.

The revised proposal for Tower 4 includes:

• 509 condo units;
• 250 non-market rental units;
• a 2-storey commercial podium;
• a 7-level parkade that will serve all of Phase 2 (three towers).

Fairborne Homes has revised their proposal for the 2.4 acre site at 1510 – 1530 Crown Street and 440 Mountain Highway (formerly the Dykhoff Nursery site) in the Lynn Creek area of North Vancouver.

The site was previously rezoned in 2022 to allow for a project with a 24-storey, 205-unit condo tower with 215 rental units in a concrete midrise.

The revised proposal includes:

• 429 rental units including 45 below market;
• 25,865 SF of commercial space;
• reduced underground parkade

The architect for the project is Arcadis Architecture.

GECC (Global Education Communities) has submitted a rezoning application for a site they own at the corner of Cambie & 48th in Vancouver.

The site was previously rezoned for a 10-storey, 78-unit market rental project, but was then sold in 2024 to GECC by Casey Weeks and Morgan Iannone of Colliers.

Under the new TOA rezoning policy, a new proposal “GEC Langara” has been brought forward to allow for the development of a 26-storey rental building and includes:

• 182 rental units (20% below market);
• 1,100 SF of retail space;
• a total density of 10.24 FSR; and
• A building height of 261 ft.

The application is being considered under the Transit-Oriented Areas Rezoning Policy and Cambie Corridor Plan. The application requests consideration of density and height in excess of the existing policies.

The 2024 sale at $17,500,000 equates to $111 per buildable SF.

The architect for the project is Urban Solutions Architecture.
