It’s incredibly noisy. 24/7. Its a nightmare to live near highway.

I assume it's not as bad if you aren't facing the highway?

If the developer can find people who want to buy, I'm not going to stand in anyone's way, but man, between the highway, North Road, Lougheed Highway, the skytrain, and the freight railway/railyard, that has to be just about the noisiest location in the lower mainland!

Cars at highway speed are way louder than at 50km/h. Wind and wheel noise is like 90% of the noise, engine noise not so much.

Nice. Any words on height or number of floors?

From the article

When complete, the two towers, at 28 and 30 storeys in height, will provide a mix of 486 strata units and 70 rental units, including 21 non-market rental units in homes ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments.

Additionally, the project will include 12,000 square feet of commercial space in eight units, with space for office use, cafes, restaurants and even a child care centre.

The original proposal for that building was just to add a second floor on top, but once it was getting demolished they must have realized it wasn't doable.

I wonder if it is for Burquitlam Funeral Home. They moved into what used to be a KFC years ago next door and is a very small building compared to their old one on North Road.

Coquitlam unanimously OKs first reading to add homes for 12K residents

One of Coquitlam council’s last acts with constituents before the 2022 municipal election — set for Oct. 15 — will be to consider adding homes for more than 12,000 residents across the city.

Last night (Sept. 6), city council unanimously voted to move three major applications to public hearing on Sept. 26 to listen to the community.

The bids are as follows:

Marcon Quadreal
TriCity Central
A mixed–use master plan development plan off Lougheed Highway, across from the Coquitlam Central public transit hub, that would see about 4,000 homes in nine towers, as well as commercial and office space, and a hotel in the City Centre neighbourhood over the next decade.

The project, on the former lands of a car dealership and light industry, is one of the largest master plans ever for Coquitlam and includes 150 below–market rental units in perpetuity.

Intracorp Gardena
Oakdale development
The firm is proposing 744 units in 42- and 16-storey towers, plus two six-storey purpose–built rental buildings, along Claremont Street and Gardena Drive in western Coquitlam.

The project, close to the Burquitlam SkyTrain station and Simon Fraser University (SFU), is "fulfilling the vision of the Oakdale land use agreement," Coquitlam’s development director Andrew Merrill said, while noting the developer would be responsible for building a road to link Elmwood/Gardena with Claremont/Tyndall — a much-needed connector to avoid the current rat-running through the largely single-family residential area.

Infinity Properties (Baycrest)
Partington Creek
The firm wants to build 66 townhouses in 14 buildings along Victoria Drive on Burke Mountain, over a 10-metre slope.

The project includes three- and four-bedroom homes to accommodate families; as well, a portion of a trail in the BC Hydro right-of-way through the neighbourhood would be completed by the developer.

The three applications, which received first reading on Sept. 6 and have yet to be formally approved, total 5,444 homes — a significant step for the city in meeting its growth targets for Metro Vancouver, the regional agency that’s planning for one million more people by 2050.

No, this is Coronation Heights, not Coronation Park.

For anyone confused, the two sites are next door to each other:

Coronation Heights - in Coquitlam, will get built, who knows, may even get started before the next coronation.

Coronation Park - in Port Moody, likely stuck in limbo forever, Prince George will be King George before it ever gets done
