Changes coming for Heights site.

The site of a self-serve car wash at 6147 Hastings St. could be redeveloped into retail and restaurant space.

At the July 30 council meeting, Burnaby council authorized the city’s planning and building depart-ment to work with Terry Barabash, president of JKB Holdings Ltd., on a master plan for the site.

More highrises for Metrotown.

Three three-story apartment buildings in the Metrotown area could be demolished to make way for two highrises.

The first is an application from Concord Pacific for a multi-family highrise with a townhouse component at 6550 Nelson Ave.

A few blocks west of Metropolis at Metrotown and Station Square, another developer is proposing a replacement of two older three-storey rental apartment buildings at 6225 and 6255 Cassie Ave. with a highrise tower.
