4430 Halifax Street slated for development

I was recently informed by my family doctor that his medical office will close down this spring after nearly 40 years in Brentwood.  In a letter to his patients the doctor stated that the area around his office as having "become a go-to area for high-rises, and my office is located in one such new development."

From open source searches, it appears that the building is currently owned by Embassy Bosa Development Corporation.  More to follow as details emerge.

Vantage foundation being set

The Vantage Project by Embassy Development Corporation at 2085 Rosser Ave is advancing as the excavation has been completed.  As the photograph shows (taken from overhead SkyTrain), the foundation for the units slated to front Lougheed Hwy has been laid and part of the structure is beginning to take shape.  The area in the background will see the foundation and underground parking take form over the summer.  Metrotown's skyline can be seen in the far distance.

Vantage site prep progressing

The Vantage project by Embassy Development Corporation is actively advancing as machinery has been seen operating almost daily in the past few weeks.  The project, located at 2085 Rosser Ave across from Milestones Grill and Bar, will include a residential tower, a commercial component and an unannounced community amenity.  The conceptual image (right) does not take the neighbouring towers that were recently built into account.  The commercial component of the project will most likely face Lougheed Hwy along the north end of the site. With excavation well under way, the tower should begin to rise and take shape by the end of summer.  The site is located on the SW corner of Lougheed Hwy and Rosser Ave.

Changing views: Vantage January 2011

As the Vantage project by Embassy Development gets started at the corner of Lougheed Hwy and Rosser Ave, another tower will appear in the Brentwood skyline.  As more towers spring up in the area, views will begin to change.  For example, the view of Madison Centre and Motif at Citi (below) as seen from Madison Ave will become obstructed as the Vantage project rises from the ground.

   

The Vantage sales office is expected to open in the spring of this year.

Another Embassy Development for Brentwood

The old Canadian Tire site at Rosser Ave and Lougheed Hwy is now being excavated as the Vantage project by Embassy Development Corporation gets underway. The project will include 200 units of highrise and townhouse homes along with commercial and community amenities. The site is located 1 block west of the Brentwood SkyTrain station.
