23-Storey Tower Proposed for Brentwood

Amacon‘s proposed rezoning of a 40,000 SF site in the Brentwood Town Centre area of Burnaby is seeking approval to move to public hearing. The site at 2285 Willingdon is comprised of an assembly of four older industrial buildings, and is located at the Northwest corner of Willingdon Avenue and Juneau Street. The proposed project anticipates rezoning under the RM4s designation. The plan calls for a 23-storey condo tower above underground parking including:

• 147 condo units
• 39 one-bedrooms, 92 two-bedrooms & 16 three-bedrooms (including 5 townhouses)
• total density of 3.6 FAR
• amenities including rooftop deck, game room, gym, spin room, yoga studio
• 5,181 SF of amenity space
• 201 parking spaces
• 21 electric vehicle charge stations

Amacon's 'The Dawson' at full height

The Dawson development by Amacon has reached it's full height.  The sold-out low-rise building will sit atop a commercial front slated to be a restaurant on the southwest corner of Dawson St and Willingdon Ave.  The restaurant is yet to be named.

Dawson developing from Gilmore to Douglas

While the Brentwood and Solo developments continue attract focus at Willingdon and Lougheed, Dawson Street is beginning to garner attention along its length between Gilmore Ave and Douglas Road.

The Gilmore Station Development by Onni is making its rounds at the City of Burnaby as it moves ahead for approval.  The massive mixed use development will be situated as a gateway to the Brentwood Town Centre.

Further east at Madison and Dawson, the site has been cleared to make way for a sold out residential mid-high-rise development by Porte Development Corporation.  Another high-rise development just south of there, Fulton House, is being planned for the south foot of Madison Ave.

Eastward from there at Willingdon and Dawson, the foundation for a low-rise residential building above a street-level commercial development by Amacon is being poured.  The corner front will see a new yet to-be-named restaurant.

On the east side of Willingdon, the Milano development at 2450 Alpha Ave is being initiated by Solterra Development south of Dawson.  Further down will see 2 highrise developments at the south foot of Beta reaching Lougheed Hwy and nearly reaching Douglas Rd.   The higher profile development will be one of the largest developments in the area by Concord Pacific.

The Concord Brentwood development will also see a grocery store, likely an Urban Fare-type store, along with other commercial amenities.

Amacon site excavation begins

Excavation of the site on the southwest corner of Dawson and Willingdon has begun.  The project will include a low-rise apartment complex with a street-level restaurant.   Currently, no details are available on Amacon Development's website.

Dawson and Willingdon cleared for development

The site at the corner of Willingdon Avenue and Dawson Street has been cleared to make way for a low-rise complex with a street-level restaurant to be built by Amacon.  There is no word yet on what kind of restaurant will go in there.

Low-rise and restaurant coming to Dawson and Willingdon

A low-rise development is being initiated by Amacon for the portion of Dawson Street from 4460 Dawson eastward to 2273 Willingdon Avenue.  It will be a mixed-use development with commercial/restaurant space at street level.  The restaurant space is expected to front Willingdon Avenue.
