[Burnaby] City of Lougheed | Phase 1 Completed

[jollyburger]

Was looking at City of Lougheed on Google Maps and just noticed those massive quarries up behind Westwood Plateau.

This must be the most impressive megablock in Lower Mainland. Station Square and Solo District don't pack towers quite as close to each other. Amazing Brentwood may surpass this once fully built out. Impressive that all of these projects are in Burnaby - where else?

Anyone care to count the floors for us?

They were pouring the ceiling for floor 53

(You can see the floor numbers on the elevator shot)

This view needs an office tower - or one that has more glass.

53 floors is very impressive and it has mostly been flying under the radar! I agree that a fully glass-glazed building would look fantastic but that's not gonna happen Lougheed which is a vertical bedroom neighborhood.

there is a small 6 storey office building proposed for North Road on the Coquitlam side, just next to SOCO.

The last tower has just a few floor left to be topped out

Wow that's fast, but somehow completion and move-in for the other towers aren't until 2023?

Well it's the shortest tower at 30 storeys with 237 units. Versus Tower One with 55 storeys and 566 units.

Tower 4 is anticipated to complete in Fall of 2021 ; Commercial Podium in Winter 2022; Tower 3 in late Spring 2022, Tower 1 in Summer 2022, and Tower 2 wrapping up in approximately Winter 2023.

Are there any rumors as to what shops/stores will be in the "Commercial Podium in Winter 2022"? There's supposed to be an "urban grocer".

Great pictures, thanks. Lots of development, and room for tons more!

incredible that you have suburban sprawl, massive parking lots, extremely dense living and towers and nature all co-mingling like this.

So much going on in these pictures

There won't be any surface parking lots left in that photo in maybe 10-15 years?

Who knows how fast the other development sites will take, but on the Mall site the masterplan is for 23 towers, and they've taken five years to build the first four. I think they've only submitted one more proposed tower so far, so it seems more likely to be at least 25 years (if there isn't a market slowdown over that period).

Still blows my mind how much space is still left on these parking lots

Yeah Shape mentioned 15-20 years back in 2016 but who knows what will happen.

Shape said it took them 8 years to design & build the first phase of Amazing Brentwood:

The main cluster is so visible from all over Lower Mainland. It looks amazing from Metrotown and today I was marveling at it from a westbound Expo Line train in Surrey. Lougheed previously had such an unnoticeable skyline but in matter of few years it has pushed itself into the big league. If the 82-floor tower gets built, it will be visible from absolutely everywhere.

Yeah I know what you mean. I caught a glimpse of them from Surrey about a month ago. They seriously reminded me of Hong Kong by how tall they are and how they appear to be rising straight out of the mountains.
