i went to an open house for this project the other day. its quite the project and some interesting information. they said these info boards are not posted online, so i took photos and thought i would post them here. it would be a massive change for the area. i think its own thread is reasonable.

right now not all the details are worked out, but, they are hoping to get council rezoning approval by the end of the year.

Thank you for posting these here. It is much appreciated !

Yeah, talk about a massive redevelopment of a neighbourhood in Burnaby!

This, in combination with Brentwood, Gilmore, Burquitlam, and Lougheed should deter any future conversations about the Skytrain to nowhere. I think that it's clear Skytrain is empowering these master-planned projects to develop.

Whoever is still having those conversations is pretty tone deaf towards the wider trend of North American transit oriented development.

Or they have ulterior motives.

Vancouver is still lagging by a mile. Hope this changes with ABC in power.

The newer urban villages in Burnaby seems to have the same kinds of densities as town centres in Vancouver, and more! I love the incorporation of a commercial buildings within the master plan of such villages, although I think there should be more retail.

I'll give credit where credit is due and acknowledge that the previous council did advance Vancouver's planning by unprecedented (for the CoV) steps. Hopefully ABC continues that, considering the productive members of the NPA turned into ABC I would expect they will.

That's part of the issue with these surburban villages, a huge lack of commercial space both office and retail, seems like it's a fallacy of master-planning everything that those land uses only really sell once there's been sufficient build up of commercial activity in the area.

The shopping public is a fickle bunch.

Theoretically, a supermarket should do well if there are a thousand residents around it, but you've got particularity around price (!), selection, ethnicity and the tendancy for Vancouverites to eat out a lot (so low reliance on groceries). i.e. on the Concord Lands, how many people pay Urban Fare prices? Many people drive off the downtown peninsula (other than Costco) to shop for groceries because prices are so high downtown.

A drug store may do better for essential items, but even then, drug store items at some stores are much more expensive than at bigger box stores.

looks good, a nice mello change from Brentwood. The area will benefit from some retail and dining options.

thanks VancouverOfTheFuture for postings these photos and starting the thread. this is going to be a very really interesting TOD node to watch.

lots of land assembly going on to the East + South of the two big projects. here is one of note >>

They use the term "retail character". I hope for the best, but I have yet to see any retail character built into these master planned communities. The usual suspects end up occupying the retail spaces, so the residents end up having to leave the neighbourhood to find the restaurants, shopping, and entertainment they want in Vancouver.

I used to live not far from there. I can't recall but there used to be some old 3-story wooden walk ups there? Strata sale or something else?

Ahh right thanks, I was picturing the wrong spot.

6800 Lougheed was the Saputo milk processing factory, that moved operations to Port Coquitlam a couple of years ago. The developers, Create (and Peterson) also own the adjacent 7000 Lougheed, (ex Telus), and the two are being designed together. Combined they'll have over 8,000 units.

The residential density has a maximum of 3.75, which is very slightly less than SEFC (which so far has 6,000 units at 3.96 FSR) so I think this could be very similar in density. It has more commercial proposed, but it also has a SkyTrain station at Sperling.

They're using 49% of the C2 zoning for rental residential as permitted which gives a total residential density of 4.4.

It doesn't look like they considered the grading... street B can't actually connect to Lougheed given the low clearance under the guideway. In any case, I'm very much against turning Lougheed into a stroad with more intersections. Should keep a forested buffer from the skytrain along the north and focus the activity internally and along Greenwood.

Sure, they won't have thought of that. So you think David Pontarini hasn't seen the site? I guess that's what happens when you hire a Toronto architect.

It'll be interesting to see what they do with the intersection there.
