some news and a different rendering
Canada loaning $109M to help build Coquitlam residential, affordable rental housing tower
Expected to be completed by 2023 and operated by 43 Housing Society, money is also set to flow in from the provincial and municipal levels for the 308-unit building.

WHAT'S BEING BUILT?
Concert's massive construction project in Burquitlam is split on two sites.
The Burquitlam Park rental building is:
33 floors (two of which are mechanical)
308 rental units (100 of which are non-market)
designed to be the most energy-efficient residential tower in Coquitlam (built to Step 3 of the BC Energy Step Code)
The Burquitlam Park strata building is:
52 floors (two of which are mechanical)
468 strata units
Andrew Merrill, Coquitlam's director of development services, told the Tri-City News that the building heights and unit counts changed for both buildings between public hearing in February 2018 and the fourth reading in December 2019, "as the designs were finalized and senior government funding was secured."
Once complete, the campus will also include:
YMCA Community Centre
Community police station
Park and other amenities
Meanwhile, for Concert's Whitgift Gardens project to the south — for six more towers — the city is expecting the following along Cottonwood Avenue:
two 37-storey rental towers with about 654 units
four market condo towers at 24-, 25-, 43- and 48-levels high, with about 1,187 units plus another 132 market rental units for seniors
"As the market continues to evolve, Concert may choose to provide more rental units than just the one required building," Merrill told the Tri-City News.
