The adopted
Brentwood Site Conceptual Master Plan identifies the subject site (Tower 3) for a
residential apartment building of up to 55 storeys in height, insofar that it is nominally
and dimensionally lower than the buildings within Phase I. The podium area fronting
Lougheed Highway to the south. Alpha Avenue to the west and the High Street to the north is intended to be primarily commercial with fronting residential lobbies and
residential amenity areas within select locations.
It is noted that the subject site is located within the Southeast Quadrant (Phase III) of the
Brentwood Site Conceptual Master Plan, which encompasses a significant area within the
eastern portion of the site bound by Alpha Avenue, Beta Avenue, Lougheed Highway
and the north lane.
I was at Brentwood last weekend (via Skytrain). They have certainly crippled mall access from transit. It's going to be a loooong time before that improves.
Thanks, Dave. Just curious, where do you get this open view from? I was looking for something similar when I was in the area, but couldn't find a balcony like this.
Photo by Dave2? Are you sure you didn't steal it from Dave1? ... or did you kill and replace Dave1? Auuugh, POD PERSON!!!
*ahem*
By which I mean to say, thanks for all the pictures. Dave and Klazu both. I was up there a few months ago and it's nice to see how things have progressed since then.
There's now a development permit application for Phase III. It's the one that is right by Lougheed just to the east of the new Alpha Street entrance they are building. It says in the report that it is 'up to 55 stories' but also says the intention is for it to be shorter than the first two buildings, so I guess not the full 55 stories. It also says that Phase II ( the one just north of Halifax along Willingdon) is delayed while they work out with the city how to integrate a community centre into it. Apparently, despite that delay, the intention is for both to built simultaneously.
Edit: Oh, and there is a development permit for a brew pub to go in the central 'civic plaza' as well.

A brew pub... That is interesting, definitely something that is missing with Metrotown right now. Do you have any link to your source?
