Another week, another highrise proposal for Brentwood. This one is from Polygon Homes for an 81,414 SF site at the foot of Madison Avenue. The rezoning application is based on the RM4s designation under the City of Burnaby’s Brentwood Town Centre Plan, with a total density of 3.6 FAR, or 280 units.

Interestingly, due to high groundwater and challenging geotechnical buildings, the parking is above-grade and is proposed to be located behind street-oriented residential units.

Here is an update of 980 Howe Street; an office building being built by Manulife at the corner of Howe and Nelson:

Beedie Living has filed a rezoning application for an 18,287 SF site it acquired in 2013 at 105 Keefer Street and 544 Columbia Street. The proposal is for a 14-storey mixed-use building that includes:

• 137 residential units;
• commercial space on the ground and 2nd levels;
• a total density of 7.92 FSR;
• three levels of underground parking; and
• a height 127 ft.
