Bosa Development seeks support for its riverfront plan in New West


Bosa Development is seeking the City of New Westminster’s official support for its waterfront development plan.

On Monday, council will consider approval of a development permit to allow variances for building height, number of vehicle parking spaces at grade, maximum building footprint size above the second storey and a revised site plan within the zoning district.

“The project continues to propose the same height and density as in the previous report received by council,” said planner Mike Watson. “This is the formal opportunity for council to consider the variances necessary to accommodate the changes to the site plan proposed by Bosa.”


According to the staff report, Bosa Development is proposing to delay its construction start date until after Bosa Properties completes construction of the RiverSky development at 1000 Quayside Dr., in order to ensure that public parking is available for downtown and waterfront businesses. The current timeline suggests that piling and pre-construction works will take place next spring and summer, followed by construction and then occupancy of Phase 1 in the fall of 2021.
