Ok, wow.

I found the site - here's the site in Google Streetview from 2009... then just head down the hill for a shot from last year:

Still, this would seem to be something of the exception that proves the rule - can't help but think the location at Boundary and Kingsway had something to do with it. It clearly takes quite a bit to convert such a neighbourhood, anyway.

An update of Station Square in Burnaby.
What's left of the parkade is now closed to the public aside from the ground level. I was hoping to get a few shots from the roof again but that won't be possible anymore.Anyway I took these pics from the top of the emergency exit stairs on the western side of Metrotown.

Solo District in Burnaby is launching its second phase and what will become Burnaby's tallest tower at 55 flrs (not sure of the official height yet): Stratus.

I was looking into this last weekend, but my God! The traffic on this site is horrendous for some reason. I'm sure its just the construction but if not, I guess this is one development that you better be taking transit if you want to live here....
