Burnaby’s Tallest Tower Underway
The Brentwood neighbourhood will be home to Burnaby’s tallest tower after the second phase of the SOLO District development held its groundbreaking ceremony Saturday.
The project by Appia Developments will stand more than 550 feet tall, second in B.C. only to the Shangri-La in downtown Vancouver. The 55-storey building will have 48 “floors” due to some levels being double height.
Commercial units, including office space, will take up the first 14 floors, while 280 residential units will make up floors 15 to 48. A 5,000-square-foot, indoor-outdoor amenity space for building residents, dubbed “Club 55,” will take up the rooftop.
A public preview of the new homes was held last Saturday with sales to start this weekend, on June 22.
Recent reports of a slowing real estate market and concerns about an oversupply of condos don’t concern Jim Bosa, president of Appia.
