Lougheed Hwy commercial front to be part of Brentwood Mall development

According to the August 29 City of Burnaby council meeting minutes, it appears that the Brentwood Mall development will include the construction of street-level commercial space fronting Lougheed Hwy between Beta Ave and Brentwood Station.  The appearance of commercial storefronts will dramatically transform the look of Lougheed Hwy.

As for what will occupy the area above the commercial/retail front, details are have not yet been mentioned.  It will most likely be commercial office space which will either take the form of low or high-rises.  It will be interesting to see how the Lougheed-facing commercial spaces will be connected for access to and from  the rest of the inner property where other phases of the project will take place.

As for one of the items on my wish list for the mall project; since Tim Horton's has seen it's parking spaces encroached upon by the increasing numbers of Steve Nash Fitness World patrons, hopefully it will relocate to one of the newly developed spaces at Brentwood Mall.

Parking pressures at Steve Nash Fitness World

A few days ago, I was shocked to see cars lined up waiting to get a parking spot in front of Steve Nash Fitness World.  Whereas parking was never an issue before Steve Nash moved in, I now must consider whether or not I really need my Timmy's steeped tea anymore.  It's at least good to see that the new fitness facility is a success.

The new Steve Nash Fitness World is nearing its grand opening on June 25.  The new facility is located in the building that was previously home to an Office Depot and is situated next to Tim Hortons and Boston Pizza at 4199 Lougheed Hwy.

Steve Nash Fitness World coming to Brentwood

The building that formerly housed the Office Depot on Lougheed Hwy next to Tim Hortons and Boston Pizza will soon be the home to a new Steve Nash Fitness World. The arrival of the club will bring the number of fitness centres in the Brentwood area to four including:

REV's Fitness Centre which houses former IBO World Champion Manny Sobral's North Burnaby Boxing Club next to Holdom Station,

Fit City for Women at Beta Ave and Lougheed Hwy near Brentwood Station,

Gold's Gym next to Gilmore Station on Dawson Ave.

The new Steve Nash Fitness World location is steps away from Gilmore Station.
