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.

Old Canadian Tire Building Demolished

2 days ago, the building at Rosser Ave and Lougheed Hwy that once housed the Canadian Tire store 1 block west of Brentwood Station was demolished and site cleared for a major development titled Vantage. According to the City of Burnaby website, the site addressed as 2085 Rosser Ave will be transformed into a 200-unit residential high-rise (30 stories) and townhouse complex along with a commercial and community amenity. The project is being built by Embassy Development on the opposite corner from the Motif at Citi project currently nearing completion. Embassy Development previously built the Legacy project next to the Holdom Skytrain Station on the eastern edge of Brentwood Town Centre. It will be interesting to see what the community amenity will be.
