[Burnaby] The Amazing Brentwood | 15 Towers | 186m | 56 flrs | U/C & Proposed - Page 59

Metro-One · #**1161** Posted **Dec 5, 2015, 2:20 AM**

Does anyone else find it strange that out of every area in Metro-Vancouver, only Brentwood will soon have 4 towers over 150 meters tall U/C simultaneously?

(almost 5, Stratus is just .9 meters under 150m).

Also, any official height numbers for Brentwood 3?

Realistically, you're probably only looking at Burnaby for clusters of tall towers, then look to the developers, the locations of their properties and their financing.

Otherwise:
Vancouver - few large sites and view cones
Richmond - YVR concerns
Surrey - too remote for the time being
New Westminster - geographically limited and already pushing some heights limits
North Vancouver - nimbys
Depends on the mundeveloper, I suppose.

You omitted Coquitlam in your region-based skyscraper development (or lack-thereof)analysis.

Not strange, but AMAZING!

It will indeed be quite a sight next spring to see so many tall towers go up at the same time. It will surely make up for some great photos.

Coquitlam is same as Surrey. Even with Evergreen it is too far out there for now. Burnaby is really the best situated to build high right now.

Even Surrey has technical height limitations as it is a direct approach to YVR. Neither Metrotown or Burnaby are along YVR's approach path. Add the proximity to Vancouver, and it doesn't surprise me how much is going up in these two areas.

I just kind of wish these development were all happening in Metrotown, the best location in our metro for tall towers IMO (sitting on top of a 200m high ridge).

Instead Metrotown's major Station Square development was neutered for some reason while this development seems to sell out taller towers just fine...

Seems to me the price of Brentwood is slowly catching up to Metrotown . Goldhouse is already 90% sold or presold to insiders because of its prime location and surprisingly competitive pricing, all be it less commanding views. Wonder how T3 is dong?

T3 is only 75% sold

"Only"

That's pretty amazing considering 2 other towers on the same lot with 500 units are already sold out.

Coquitlam centre is doing very well for itself considering the skytrain still isn't connected. This is a few years ago

I was under the impression that Brentwood was a higher annual average income area compared to Metrotown,.... and I would have imagined housing pricing and real estate prices would reflect this.

I realize a couple of higher-end towers in Metrotown (specifically, Modello and Goldhouse) might probably that off a little, but I would have thought that buying from Brentwood (and more specifically the Brentwood towers) would be a slightly more expensive proposition than buying from Metrotown.

Wow

Cool - you can also watch Solo go up too

Klazu · #**1177** Posted **Dec 8, 2015, 9:44 PM**

Any chance that we might hear anything about the fourth tower this coming spring? Or will they have to wait until tower one and two are closer to being finished?

Things are moving so fast...

No, I don't want that any more than you do. I'm just talking about the height, size and scale all this will be, maybe higher and denser than places in suburban TO, that's all. Ours are 'nicer.'
