Four towers between 35 and 42 storeys are proposed for Brentwood Town Centre in Burnaby, along with a multi-use pedestrian and bike overpass above the CN/BNR rail line.
Another Brentwood Town Centre development with four new highrise towers and more than 1,450 new homes is up at council.
Burnaby Citizens Association councillors Alison Gu and Daniel Tetrault pointed out the lack of three-bedrooms in the non-market part. Gu said she was “perplexed” by the lack of family-friendly housing and both councillors questioned the lack of three-bedroom rental units within a 15-minute walk of a school.
Planning general manager Ed Kozak said larger units would be focused in areas even closer to schools in Brentwood.The developer re-arranged their architectural plans to include eight three-bedroom non-market rental units before the public hearing on May 30.The development also proposes a multi-use pedestrian and cycling overpass across the CN/BNR rail line at Alaska Street.
The overpass at Alaska requires a “minor amendment” to the 1996 Brentwood Town Centre development plan, which did not identify a crossing at Alaska.
