[Burnaby] Citi and Motif | Complete

[Metro-One]

This development is near the Northwest corner of Willington and Lougheed. the smaller tower is office while the taller tower is residential, if anyone want to add more information please do so.

Here is an update on this project, lots of work going on today on site.

A rendering on the fence at the site.

Thanks for the pics, I'm in the area alot so I'll try to keep some updates flowing in too.

thanks for the update.

do you know if they are going to continue that nice looking sidewalk infront of Save-On-Foods onto this block. It would be a shame if it was not continuous.

and whats going on with MIKI sushi? Just tear it down already!!!

Grabbed these while out at metrotown for a site visit...







The Office tower is almost topped out, they are just forming the mechanical penthouse, which you can see in the picture if you look really closely just to the left of the pyramid shaped roof.

And from my best guess the residential still has a few floors to go, as they haven't reached the floors with no balconies yet, maybe 3 or 4 plus the mech penthouse.

Nice, thanks!

Glass looks better than a lot of buildings downtown.

Thanks. Good to see the project going...can't wait to see how the green space looks like when it's finished!

[Mike K.]

Do you guys have the official heights and floor counts of these towers?

[LeftCoaster]

To be quite honest I dont think anyone here does... They certianly havent been discussed on the forum.

It should be available somewhere in the depths of the city of Burnaby website though.

it looks really dense now coming along hwy #1 when you hit that area

the little strip mall next to it has been completely redone and looks pretty good and all the spaces seem to be leased

its really adding a lot to that area and cluster

[mr.sandbag]

i believe the office building was to 13 floors and the condo 29, probably can count the office tower now to confirm

too bad they renow'd the strip plaza, maybe there are long term plans for the lot and it it temporary as it seems out of place if it stays like this for some time.

[Mike K.]

Thanks, guys. I wondered why there was no mention of heights.

[Metro-One]

These are turning out to be a great addition to the Brentwood Skyline. So amazing how this area has transformed in the last 10 years.



pic is my own.

[SpongeG]

yah they look great - they really make it dense when you see it coming west bound on the #1

^ Thank you SkyTrain.

Just imagine the Cambie Corridor in twenty years.

[vansky]

not sure about how other n.a cities have doen in the past 15 yrs, but burnaby changed little in my memory. richmond and dt had some of the biggest changes in the area.

[LeftCoaster]

Really? but Brentwood barely even existed 15 years ago. Burnaby has changed quite a bit since then mid 90s imo

It's not just your opinion, it's reality. Aside from Silhouette Lougheed is the only area that hasn't changed much. Patterson, Metrotown, Edmonds, and Brentwood have all changed drastically in even just the last 10 yrs.

[SpongeG]

yeah brentwood exploded in the last 5 years i think

[vansky]

cambie street doesn't have much that's available for development, the one area that's empty now is the one accross oakridge, other than that probably marine drive.

why r ppl building short business towers rather than tall ones like the metro towers?

[Metro-One]

If anything, Burnaby has become the flagship of proper suburban development. How many suburbs have 4 skylines? Metrotown alone is equal to some million+ city centers in North America.
