[Burnaby] Aviara | 32fl | Escala | 42fl | Completed

I thought I would start a thread for the Aviara property near Brentwood Mall since they recently opened their presentation centre to VIP clients/realtors and early on-line registrants.

I toured it this past Monday. They have a two bedroom unit built to scale that can be walked. They also have the usual display model as well as some tv monitors that you can use to view the different floor plans in 2D and 3D as well as the view from every 3rd floor of the building.

I have spoken with the City of Burnaby and they have confirmed that the adjoining parcel of land (that LedMac also owns) is currently going through the rezoning process. There could be another two towers going up on this site in the future.

I also spoke with the City regarding the road realignments and closures surrounding this site. Everything seems to make sense. At least to me.

First Avenue is going to cross Gilmore and connect up with Douglas/Halifax. Douglas will be closed off where it meets Gilmore. The Halifax/Douglas intersection is being eliminated. The southwest portion of Halifax will meet Douglas at a "T" rather than a 4 way intersection. The same will happen with the south portion of Douglas where it meets Halifax. It sounds kind of confusing to read but it actually makes sense to do, imo.

I'll be following the development in this area with interest.
