The proposal is to allow for the development of a 14-storey rental apartment building that includes:

• 110 market rental units (20 units assigned to moderate income households);
  • 25 studios, 33 one-bedrooms & 32 two-bedrooms;
• 5,035 SF of retail space at grade;
• A total density of 6.90 FSR;
• A building height of 156 ft.; and
• 69 vehicle parking spaces and 213 bicycle parking spaces.

The application is being considered under the Moderate Income Rental Housing Pilot Program (MIRHPP) Rezoning Policy.

Under the site’s existing C-2 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted. However, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

McCarthy Properties have submitted a Master Plan Concept to the City of Burnaby for the redevelopment of McCarthy Plaza, a full city block property on Kingsway in the Metrotown area.

The 3.83 acre site is comprised of four parcels, occupied with a number of older lowrise retail and medical/office buildings, collectively known as the Plaza 5000 complex.

The McCarthy Plaza site is located within the Metro Downtown Neighbourhood of the Metrotown Downtown Plan area which designates site for high-density mixed-use residential development under the RM5s Multiple Family, RM5r Multiple Family Residential District, and C3 General Commercial Districts.

The preliminary concept includes three mixed use towers above podiums to be built in four phases, as well as a new North-South public street “McCarthy Way”. The overall project will include approx. 1.8 Million SF.

Phase 1 includes a 70-storey signature landmark tower that includes:

• 820,000 SF;
• 425,000 SF of residential including 160,000 SF of rental in the lowrise.
• 500 total residential units;
• retail and office space;
• substantial amenity space including daycare space, meeting spaces; gardens, bowling alley, fitness centre, basketball court and first nations art gallery.

The second and third phase anticipate a 54-storey mixed-use tower, and a 45-51 storey tower respectively. Phase 3 includes options for residential or commercial uses. Phase 4 includes a smaller lowrise commercial building.

The formal rezoning application for the project is expected in early 2023 and will include concurrent applications for the overall master plan and Phase 1 of the project.

The architect for the project is Dialog.

Anthem Properties has submitted a rezoning and development permit application for a 41,000 SF site at the Northwest corner of St. Johns and Moray Street in the Inlet Centre area of Port Moody.

• 45,818 SF Jamatkhana cultural facility;

The architect for the project is Arcadis/IBI Group.
