SOLD: 7000 Lougheed Highway, Burnaby

I’m pleased to announce the sale of 7000 Lougheed Highway, Burnaby. This 14-acre site adjacent Sperling-Burnaby Lake Skytrain station represents one of the largest master plan residential development sites to transact in Metro Vancouver in recent years.

A large-scale transaction of this nature poses complexities and challenges, particularly when planning policy is not yet fully defined. We were able to leverage our skills and expertise to navigate the sale process and deliver for our client.

Congratulations to the buyer, Create Properties; it was a pleasure working with your team and we look forward to seeing this landmark project in the Bainbridge community come to life.

Please contact me for further details.

Richmond Project to Include 1,341 Units

Polygon has submitted a revised formal application to the City of Richmond for permission to rezone a 13.5 acre
site at Cambie Road and Sexsmith Road. An earlier application from 2020 envisioned a similar overall plan, however, a revised proposal includes more affordable housing and more public space.

The assembly acquired by Polygon in 2018 for $147 Million sits on the Eastern edge of Richmond’s City Centre Area.

The proposal for the site, entitled ‘Talisman’, which has gone through a couple of rounds of feedback and revision, in part due to request for tree retention and more rental housing, includes development of a mixed-use, mid-rise and high-rise development consisting of two woodframe lowrise buildings and six concrete highrises. The overall master plan includes:

  • 1,014 condo units;
  • 156 affordable (low end of market) rental units;
  • 171 market rental units;
  • 8,438 sq ft of commercial space fronting Capstan;
  • 1.23 Million SF of total gross floor area;
  • 1.34 acres of new City Park;
  • 2.10 acres of public open space.

The site is to be developed in four phases, as follows:

The proposed unit mix is as follows:

The architect for the project is IBI Group.
