Concord Pacific has submitted their formal rezoning application to the City of Burnaby for Phase 2 of their Concord Metrotown project, on the Western portion of the overall site.

The overall master plan for the Concord Metrotown project originally proposed four phases of development. Concord has now proposed to coalesce the last three phases into one rezoning as a larger second phase. The total site area of Phase 2 is 5.30 acres and will likely be built out over a period of several years.

The proposal includes:

• a 40-storey condo & non-market rental building;
• a 49-storey condo & non-market rental building;
• a 58-storey condo & non-market rental building;
• a 47-storey, 375,000 SF office tower at 614 ft. height;
• a 60-storey market rental building;
• a gross floor area of 2.3 Million SF;
• a total density of 9.99 FAR;
• 1,145 condo units;
• 188 non-market rental units;
• 791 market rental units;
• 616,000 SF of commercial space;
• 3,054 parking stalls.

A development permit application has been submitted by Dundarave Beachside Limited Partnership for an assembly of six commercial properties totaling 43,765 SF in the Dundarave Village area of West Vancouver.

The site at 2452-2496 Marine Drive is located at the Southeast corner of Marine Drive and 25th Street. It is currently occupied by a Shopper Drug Mart and several other single-storey retail tenants.

The proposal is for a new three-storey building that includes:

• 55 condo units;
  • 20 one-bedrooms, 27 two-bedrooms & 8 three-bedrooms;
• 12,000 SF of retail space;
• 10,000 SF of office space;
• a total density of 2.29 FSR;
• a plaza and parkette at Marine Drive and 25th Street
• an improved pedestrian connection at the east end of the site
• 122 underground parking spaces;
• 110 bicycle storage spaces.

A development application has been submitted by Bene Group for a 7,500 SF site in Downtown Vancouver at 852-872 Seymour Street. The development proposal is for a 7-storey office building with heritage retention and commercial at the ground level.

Details include:

• 41,240 SF of office space;
• A building height of 70 ft.;
• Total density of 5.5 FSR (including 10% Heritage Preservation Bonus)
• Three levels of underground parking with 34 stalls.

The proposal entails preservation and restoration of the existing 1926 heritage building on site. The site area is 62.5 x 120 ft.

Under the site’s existing DD zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted. However, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

The subject property sold in 2020 for $15,000,000, or $364 per buildable SF based on the application.

The architect for the project is Arno Matis Architecture.
