Burnaby NewsLeader – 38-storey tower planned for Nelson Avenue.

A 38-storey apartment tower with three-storey townhouses is being proposed for a site comprised of 6530 and 6550 Nelson Ave. in Burnaby’s Metrotown area.

Both parcels are currently occupied with older low-rise apartment buildings in fair condition, one built in 1968, the other in 1970, according to a city staff report.

The developer, Concord Pacific Developments Inc., also recently consolidated and rezoned the site directly to the south to allow a 35-storey high-rise condominium tower with townhouses fronting onto Nelson and Dunblane avenues.
