I think we're so used to condo projects, we just assume that new construction must be residential.

Nice to see that block get some decent commercial space. Good location for Translink, too.

The end looks narrow in twism's shot because the building has an angled side on that end.

Here is the link to the New West Council minutes report where i got the images.http://www.newwestcity.ca/council_minute...025%28S%29%20210%20Brunette%20Avenue.pdf
Of course there is tons more building info if you want to browse through it all, including floor plans, landscaping.

I'm glad the buildings in Brewery District are massive. Sapperton is such wasted potential given it's central location, access to amenities (Schools, Hospital, Parks), and Transit. For a long time one of the reasons contributing to this has been the notion that Sapperton is a "village" and that larger developments shouldn't happen along Columbia there. Hopefully, Brewery District drives some development and densification there.

The space above Thrifty is already occupied with strata medical offices. I believe Translink intends to move in to the building currently u/c sometime in 2013.

Was the first residential tower built by a developer that owned the entire area and then went under and sold it? I always wondered. I know the old commericial building on the corner had been there forever.

Makes you wish they had built the SkyTrain station directly over Brunette so it'd be a little easier to access... anyone know if they're going to rebuild the convoluted entrance plaza to the station?

I thought the Sapperton Station entry plaza was already rebuilt when the Anvil condo was built.

From TransLink's document, the building would have 8 floors and 230,000 square feet, with 3 levels of underground parking. TransLink will occupy P3, P1, L1 (lobby), L2 - L7, or 195,000 square feet of it.

The model has shown a diagonal path that joins the existing bridge.

Great shots!

Thanks guys.

Not keen on the yellow squares that look like insulation (i.e. like Cooper's Point), but it's not as bad as Coopers Point.

This is the render of the residential side from the Bluetree Homes website. It says "coming 2013".
Matches the model pic on Page 1 of the thread.
Note the extra connection added to the overpass to the SkyTrain Station - also on the site plan on Page 1.

Browns Socialhouse to open in New Westminster

By Alfie Lau, The Record
January 23, 2013

Browns Socialhouse will be opening a new restaurant at the Brewery District project in Sapperton.

...

The new restaurant will be located on East Columbia Street on the ground floor of the newly constructed, mixed-use building and will feature 93 seats inside and 56 seats outside on the open air patio, which will feature a fire pit and comfy couches for an eclectic lounge feeling.

The new Browns Socialhouse at Brewery District is expected to open in mid-2013.
