Blue Mountain low-rise condo proposal gets step closer.

A four-storey, 88-unit condo building is one step closer to being approved for a residential street in Austin Heights.

Coquitlam council approved zoning amendments for the building that would go from 953 to 969 Charland Ave., east of Blue Mountain Street, at Monday’s meeting after a public hearing.

Cadillac Fairview and Nordstroms have released renderings of the soon to be redeveloped Sears building which will see Nordstroms open in 2015.  The project will have approximately 300,000 square feet of office space on the upper four floors and see Pacific Centre expand towards Robson street into what is now the Sears lower level.  Nordstroms will take the first three floors.  Construction is expected to commence on November 1, 2012.
