Boffo Developments has submitted an application to rezone a 4.12 acre site at Lougheed and Springer in the Eastern part of the Brentwood Town Centre area of Burnaby. The site is currently comprised of five older industrial buildings located near the Holdom Skytrain Station. The current zoning is M-2.

The site has a designation of RM-5s designation in the Brentwood Town Centre Development Plan. Boffo is proposing a four-tower project to be established by a master plan over the entire site. Phase 1 would occur in the Northeast corner of the site, and future rezoning applications would be required for the subsequent three phases.

Details include:

• Four residential towers from 25 to 40-storeys;
• Above-ground parking screened by street fronting townhouses;
• Extension of Lougheed Parkway concept along South side of Lougheed Hwy;
• Public plaza at Lougheed and Springer Avenue.

On the same day that Onni is submitting a formal rezoning application for it’s first phase of 3 residential towers at Gilmore Station, another rezoning application has been filed for a site just East of Onni’s land in the rapidly developing Brentwood area of Burnaby.

The application is being made for a currently industrial property at 4285-4295 Dawson Street, at the northwest corner of Madison Avenue. The site is 56,500 SF. The site is designated in the Brentwood Town Centre Plan a mixed use high-density (RM-5s).

The preliminary proposal by Imani Development, is for a mixed use development comprised of retail, office and a highrise residential tower, to a maximum density of 6.0 FAR, with a residential density of 5.0 FAR.

The application notes that the tower height would be 431 feet, or likely around 40-45 storeys.

Millenium Developments first submitted a rezoning application for this 74,661 SF site located at Douglas Road and Goring Street in November 2015, and is now at the point of First Reading, after which it would move to public hearing.

The site is currently industrial and zoned M2, but is seeking approval under the high density residential RM-5s designation.

Details of the proposed project include:

• two highrises of 32-storeys and 26-storeys
• 390 condo units
• 196 one-bedrooms, 182 two-bedrooms, 12 three-bedrooms
• below and above ground parking (429 stalls)
• a total density of 5.0 FAR
• 14,584 SF of work/live space

The architect for the project is Chris Dikeakos.
