Burnaby NewsLeader – Edmonds development awaits area planning process.

The development of the vacant lot at Edmonds and Canada Way is awaiting completion of an updated Sixth Street Area Plan at Burnaby City Hall.

A four-storey mixed-use project is being proposed for the corner property at 7320 Canada Way, a former gas station site, according to a city planning report.

City staff informed the rezoning applicant, Kamcon Construction, that “substantial efforts” would have to be made to acquire and consolidate the Odd Fellows Hall property next door at 7724 Edmonds St. into any potential development.

Burnaby NewsLeader – Townhouses proposed for Hastings, Sardis.

Almost five years after the rezoning process started a townhouse project for North Burnaby is set to go to public hearing.

In November 2007, the developer first proposed a 17-unit stacked townhouse project at 5161 and 5191 Hastings St., at the northwest corner of Hastings and Springer Avenue. The properties are currently home to an older four-plex and an older single-family home, according to a city staff report, and both are designated for medium-density apartment projects in city plans.

Burnaby NewsLeader – Burnaby’s Station Square begins major transformation.

Back in the 1950s, Keith Beedie heard that a large piece of property, home to the Ford Motor Co. and Kelly Douglas, could be had for a price.

“They wanted $1 million for it. I thought, ‘are they crazy?'”

He never would have dreamed back then that one day he’d own a large piece of the property, and that the company he founded, Burnaby-based Beedie Development Group, would have a hand in its transformation.

The company, which until now had mainly been known for its industrial development projects, is now run by his son Ryan Beedie and is half-owner of Station Square shopping centre through its residential development division, Beedie Living.

Along with partner Anthem Properties, the developer is launching sales this weekend of condominium units in the first of five new towers slated for the major redevelopment.
