Holy Shit they are proposing that for the Best Western? That would be some much needed density in the Lougheed area. Do you think it is likely to get approved?

i think it will be

they had an open house last week

that will b right next to Cora - a nice cluster when you come in via hwy #1

Wait is this replacing the one next to the Foggy Dew, or am I confusing the Best Western with another hotel?

SpongeG · #**224** Posted **Jan 28, 2008, 6:19 AM**

you are confusing it

its right at the north road under pass at highway #1

next to H mart and little korea

Thanks for clearing that up.

On a somewhat related matter King Edward Centre, thats the mall with the Winners/Princess Auto was just sold for $19.1Million. At that price the owner will certainly have some plans for the site.

SpongeG · #**227** Posted **Jan 28, 2008, 11:33 PM**

yeah

they are reconfiguring the road for an over pass there

I think the new road goes behind winners

should be interesting to see what happens

Whoa! Nice library.

vanman · #**230** Posted **Jan 29, 2008, 2:57 AM**

I've been waiting to see the design of this for awhile, thanks. It's nothing spectacular but looks like a good example of modern minimalist architecture.I wonder if any wood will be used for the interior/exterior finishing.

David · #**231** Posted **Jan 29, 2008, 5:26 AM**

nice design for a small branch of a burnaby library!

SpongeG · #**232** Posted **Jan 29, 2008, 6:05 AM**

looks a lot like the old one that is there

vanman · #**233** Posted **Jan 29, 2008, 6:21 AM**

^That's actually what I thought at first. This new branch however, will be built across the street as part of the Esprit development that Bosa is building. I think the city made a deal with them to replace the old library for extra density or something.

New residential highrise planned for Edmonds & 18th st in Burnaby. According to the Now Ledingham McAllister is trying to rezone the site of it's assembeld properties to allow for a highrise, townhouses and a future lowrise. Apparently it is having difficulty negotiating with one of the last property owners. I really hope this development goes through cause currently there are only shitty/ugly houses on that corner. It is also a prime location for high density housing as it is literally only about a 3 minute walk away from Edmonds Station.

Looks like there will be another tower going in where the old Canadian tire store is in Brentwood across from the tower+office building on Lougheed highway. There is one more tower going in on Douglas rd thats separate from those two towers whos rendering has already been posted. Another tower/towers will be going in near Kingsway and Sperling across from the three towers that were built 5 or so years ago. The final millenium tower on Dawson should also start construction soon. Probably missing a bunch of stuff but im too lazy to go through the whole list.
