[City Of Rain]

The tallest tower in BC will be built here, with 64 stories it will be taller than the current king, the Shangri La in downtown.


The first phase of Onni’s large scale mixed-use project known as Gilmore Place, will include three towers with 1,563 units. The 12.9 acre site next to the Gilmore Skytrain Station in the Brentwood area of Burnaby was initially approved via master plan earlier this year, though requires further detailed rezoning applications for each phase of the project.

The Gilmore Place master plan represents one of the larger projects in Metro Vancouver currently, with over 2.5 Million SF of residential development and 1 million Sf of commercial space.

Phase 1 of the multi-phase project is the subject of this rezoning and includes:
· a 64-storey signature tower with 643 units
· a 51-storey tower with 510 units
· a 43-storey tower with 410 units
· 71,498 SF of residential amenity space atop the commercial podium
· 291,652 SF of commercial space in a large 3-storey podium
· large format retail and smaller CRUs as well as potential office and educational space on upper levels
· total density of 6.6 FAR
· connection to Skytrain station
· 1,720 total parking stalls

That's going to be quite the collection of highrises. It'll rival the Metrown skyline.

Metrotown might have more towers but so far all 4 tallest buildings in Burnaby are and will be in Brentwood, not Metrotown.
