Metrotown High-Density Site

Overview

• The subject property is designated as RM5s/C2 in the Metrotown Downtown Official Community Plan, providing for high-density mixed-use development
• Site totals 35,580 SF with ~150 feet of frontage on Dow Ave and ~240 feet depth (6 metre lane dedication required)
• Total development potential of 5.0 FSR of residential density and 1.3 FSR of commercial density, for a total of 6.3 FSR or 224,154 SF of potential buildable based on gross site size
• Note: of the 5.0 FSR in residential density, 3.4 FSR is base density and the additional 1.6 FR bonus density must be purchased from the City of Burnaby
• Note 2: the additional commercial density of 1.3 FSR depends on the assembly with the corner site on Beresford—if not applicable, the total density would revert to 5.0 FSR (177,900 SF buildable)
• The two lots are currently improved with two rental apartment buildings providing good holding income during the rezoning process: 6675 Dow (23 units) and 6691 Dow (15 units)
