Electronic Arts is proposing a major expansion to it’s Burnaby campus at 3700 Gilmore Way, across Sanderson Way from their existing campus.

The project consists of two new office buildings for EA on a 12.57 acre site with M5 and M8 zoning. An existing 110,000 SF office building occupied by Schnieder Electric on the site will be retained.

The plan calls for two 3/5-storey (due to slope) buildings, that include:

• 297,000 SF of office space;
• a total density of 0.75 FAR inclusive of the existing building;
• 3 levels of underground parking;
• 624 parking spaces;
• a new urban plaza connecting the two buildings.

The architect for the project is Dialog.

A rezoning application is going to public hearing at the City of Burnaby next week for Phase One of Aoyuan‘s “The Grove” project in the Brentwood Town Centre area. Phase One is located at the corner of Willingdon and Dawson and extends along the North portion of the site to the corner of Alpha Avenue.

The 8-acre master plan project is located at the Southeast corner of Willingdon Avenue and Dawson Street. Aoyuan acquired the site, which consists of seven parcels currently improved with older industrial buildings. The master plan was approved in 2019.

Details of Phase one include:

• Two condo towers, 36 & 43-storeys;
• One 6-storey non-market rental building;
• 868 condos;
• 453 Studios, 95 One-bedrooms, 256 Two-Bedrooms & 69 Three-bedrooms;
• 80 non-market rental units;
• 55,000 SF of office and retail space;
• a total density of 8.62 FAR;
• Tower heights of 387 ft and 456 ft.;
• 1,175 parking stalls.

The architect for the project is IBI Group.

Qualex Landmark has applied to the City of Burnaby for permission to rezone the site they own at 4275 Grange to allow a 31-storey high-rise condo building, and a 5-storey non-market rental apartment building.

The site, currently a 53-unit strata building, was sold by Casey Weeks and Morgan Iannone of Colliers in January 2019, and the site area is 45,661 SF.

The Metro Downtown Plan designates the site RM4s and RM4r. In accordance with the City’s Rental Use Zoning Polic the project is required to provide rental units equivalent to 20% of the proposed strata units. The required rental units are to be set at 20% below CMHC median rents.

Details of the proposed development include:

• 274 condo units;
• 26 studios, 122 one-bedrooms, 97 two-bedroom & 2 three-bedrooms;
• 32 non-market rentals;
• 21 two-bedrooms & 11 three-bedrooms;
• 294 parking spaces;
• a total density of 5.13 FAR.
