Third Space has submitted a rezoning application for a site at 1926-1978 East Broadway, at the corner of Victoria Street in East Vancouver. The triangular site includes two single family lots and a former gas station lot that was decommissioned in the early 2000’s and has been used as a community garden in recent years.

The 20,600 SF site is currently zoned C-1 but is located within the Grandview Woodland Community Plan which allows for rezoning up to 6-storeys.

The proposal for the site includes:

• 77 rental units (26 units at below-market rates);
• 6,300 SF of ground floor retail space;
• A total density of 3.0 FSR;
• A building height of 73 ft.; and
• 88 vehicle parking spaces and 150 bicycle parking spaces.

The application is being considered under the Grandview-Woodland Community Plan.

The architect for the project is Yamamoto Architecture.

Crombie REIT has unveiled the latest design plan for redevelopment of the Lynn Valley Safeway site at 1170 East 27th Avenue in North Vancouver.

A preliminary application for redevelopment of the 2.8 acre site was first submitted in 2021. The design has now been revised and is ready for early input at District of North Vancouver council.

The proposal for the site is a mixed-use development with multiple residential buildings above a replacement Safeway store.

Details of the proposal include:

• 417 residential units;
• 269 condo units & 148 rental units (including below market/social);
• building heights from 6-12 storeys;
• a total density of 3.5 FSR;
• 607 underground parking stalls;
• a new 43,604 SF Safeway store;
• 1,840 SF of new retail space.

The next step for the project will be a formal rezoning application.

The City of Burnaby will next week consider approval for the long anticipated Conceptual Master Plans of two neighbouring large-scale development sites in the Bainbridge Urban Village area being developed by Peterson Group and Create Properties.

The two sites are:

“Burnaby Lake Village”

• 6800 Lougheed Highway
• 19 acre site
• formerly owned by Saputo & acquired by Peterson Group in 2018

“Burnaby Lake Heights”

• 7000 Lougheed Highway
• 14 acre site
• formerly owned by Telus Pension Fund & acquired by Create Properties in 2021

The Bainbridge Urban Village Community Plan was adopted by the City in 2022 which paved the way for the master plans for these two sites, which are the largest sites in the plan area and anticipated to have the highest densities by virtue of their proximity to the Sperling-Burnaby Lake Skytrain station.

The overall concept for is a “village core mixed-use development”, with high-density residential and commercial uses to the north and south, and park space and community uses to the west.

Both Peterson and Create have undertaken considerable design development and public consultation over the past few years and are ready to proceed with their initial development phases.

The proposed Conceptual Master Plans establish the general built form, uses, building heights, signage guidelines, proposed subdivision and phasing plans. The next step for each site is individual rezoning applications for each phase.

Below is an overview of each Master Plan:

Burnaby Lake Village – 6800 Lougheed Highway
