ohhh haha I thought you meant the one that is 38 floors went to 35. Well in that case, it's great news! Burnaby's skyline is going to be completely transformed in 3 years.

wow so they are going to demolish the strip mall development that sits currently at that site? cool

Concord has a link to "The Met" - no render though.
across the street from Bonsor Community Centre (so I think it's across the street from Chancellor)

thx for the North Road & Cameron find. very interesting. Im always amazed at the potential in that part of Burnaby ... so much under utilized land we will see developed or redeveloped over the coming decade.

Thanks. Looks like it on the block next to Metroplace (46 floors).

Sweet! Intracorp must be bullish on the area with the huge success of Metroplace.

Yeah. It's really too bad that they didn't leave a provision for a potential Evergreen Line station there, though.

I wonder what kind of grocery store they are expecting to move in there, though. There's tons of them in the area as is. Maybe something asian-oriented like a T&T?

Also, the underground parking is going to be rather difficult to access from the looks of the site plan.

Not sure if the website for Silver has been posted yet: http://www.silverliving.ca/

i don't think it will be a big one - more like a 7-11 or something or the persian food place that already exists in the current location

Site plan calls for it being 37,640 square feet: http://www.sitings.ca/projectfiles/N...nSitePlans.pdf

hollywoodnorth · #36 Posted **Nov 14, 2011, 1:09 AM**

Thrifty Foods maybe .... or IGA are not in the immediate area.

SpongeG · #37 Posted **Nov 14, 2011, 2:03 AM**

ah i guess something big than - lots of groceries in the area now - extra foods, price smart, safeway, h-mart, another korean supermarket and walmart

seems like overkill now

I bet T&T would do well there as well.

I'm going to say Whole Foods. I know a lease has recently been signed for a new store in BC, and Burnaby has been at the top of their list for a while. This is also the size of store they're looking to focus on in BC.
