Iconic Landmark Project Proposed for Burnaby

An “iconic landmark project” has been put forward by Pinnacle International for a 6.2 acre site in the Lougheed Town Centre area of Burnaby. Based on the preliminary design details, including towers up to 82-storeys in height outlined in the preliminary rezoning application, the towers may become the tallest in B.C..

Preliminary details for the proposed project include:

• Three residential towers (82-storeys, 67-storeys & 62-storeys);
• up to 1.9 Million SF of market residential (11.91 FAR);
• 20% rental housing (2.16 FAR);
• estimated 430,000 SF of office, retail & hotel uses;
• relocation of Gatineau Place to align with the new north-south Grand Promenade road, as
• new covered transit plaza adjacent to the SkyTrain station and bus loop;
• a new pedestrian bridge over Austin Road to connect the covered transit plaza and subject site with the Lougheed Mall site to the north.
