The Details About The Proposed 61-storey Tower, Restaurant, and Hotel

A new highrise development is set to transform Brentwood Town Centre in Burnaby with over 540 modern homes, as well as a hotel and restaurant. Amacon Construction Ltd. has submitted a proposal for a remarkable 61-storey tower located at 2211 and 2271 Rosser Ave., which will be complemented by a rental project at 5166 Halifax St.

The Rosser development aims to offer a dynamic experience with a 172-room hotel, restaurant, and commercial establishments along Dawson Street. The project includes 442 market strata condos, 27 market rentals, and 42 non-market rentals available at 20% below the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.’s median rent. There will be 30 non-market units at CMHC’s median rental.

Featuring exceptional amenities, this development will provide residents with a gym, lounge space, meeting rooms, and indoor workspace. Hotel guests will have access to meeting rooms, a gym, and an outdoor deck with a pool. The hotel restaurant will include an inviting outdoor patio.

The development has been meticulously designed to accommodate a possible future landscape-covered deck above the adjacent railway. This project aims to prioritize convenience by providing over 600 vehicle parking stalls and more than 1,500 bike parking spaces.

Adjacent to the proposed Rosser development lies a city-owned lane that is marked for closure under the Brentwood Town Centre plan. The value of the land sale will be evaluated in a separate report, which will be presented to the council for consideration at a later date. The sale of this land is a prerequisite for the progress of the Rosser development.

Additionally, Amacon is proposing two six-storey rental buildings on the Halifax site in order to transfer some market density from the Halifax Street development. This will support the viability of the Halifax site, as it cannot accommodate a building taller than six storeys. These buildings will replace an aging rental building with 87 units and offer both non-market and market rental units. Tenants from Halifax will be able to temporarily relocate to the Rosser site until the Halifax buildings are ready for occupation.

The overall plan for this development includes a total of 257 rental units, comprising of 126 market rental units, 87 units to replace the demolished ones (rented at their previous rate), and 44 units rented at CMHC market median rates. The amenities provided will be extensive, including a multi-purpose room and lounge for the non-market rentals, yoga and fitness facilities, an outdoor lounge and barbecue area, and an urban agriculture space for the market rental building. Moreover, the development will feature a beautifully landscaped area adorned with artificial lawn areas for bocce ball facilities, an exterior fitness space, outdoor games flex space, and a children’s play area complete with a playground.

With a commitment to providing a vibrant community hub, this proposed development promises to enhance Brentwood Town Centre’s allure and cater to the needs of its residents.
