Pre-Zoning for Infill Housing is Essential: GVHBA Study
T
he best way to tackle the dire shortage of supply in groundoriented housing is to pre-zone for infill housing at Official Community Plan stage, according to a study released April 3 by the Greater Vancouver Home Builder’s Association (GVHBA). The association’s third annual Housing Approval Study (HAS) says there is currently a housing supply shortfall of more than 4,400 units per year (compared with Metro Vancouver’s Regional Growth Strategy projections). Only three of the 17 Metro Vancouver municipalities studied met or exceeded their Regional Growth Strategy targets – Vancouver, Richmond and the City of North Vancouver The report says, “Changing from the current project-by-project re-zoning process to pre-zoning areas at the Official Community Planning stage can reduce the building approvals process for infill housing by up to 18 months. Put into context, the current approvals system can take up to 24 months, while a typical twolevel, 2,500-square-foot home takes just 16 to 18 weeks to build.” It adds, “Infill housing, the subject of this year’s HAS research, offers a viable form of gentle densification to address the ‘missing middle’ housing supply to support the growth of complete, liveable communities, while maintaining and enhancing the integrity of our existing
This West Vancouver development preserves and restores a heritage home while adding a laneway house and an infill cottage with a suite | Vinson House Developments/Formwerks Architectural
neighbourhoods.” Bob de Wit, CEO of GVHBA, said, “A small change can make a big impact. [Some] 18,000 new ground-oriented housing options can be built if just five
per cent of single-family homes in Metro Vancouver are pre-zoned to allow for gentle densification through the more affordable duplex, triplex and quadplex ownership housing forms.”

Life Will Be Brighter at Sun Towers S
pectacular views, luxurious homes and a private residence club to rival a five-star hotel … welcome to Sun Towers. Unlike anything you’ve seen in Burnaby before, Belford Properties presents a 41-storey tower, the final tower in the Golden Row – one of five cosmopolitan condominium towers, which will rise along Beresford Street in Metrotown. “Location is king and Sun Tower’s signature location on Beresford Street is hard to beat,” says Matt Pesklewis, project director at Key Marketing. “Convenient transit access is so desirable, and you can’t get better access than here, we’re only 40 meters from Metrotown Skytrain station.” Great location doesn’t just mean transit access, “Metrotown is a vibrant urban hub at the centre of Metro Vancouver”, adds Pesklewis, “There’s a great energy here, good shopping, wonderful dining, fantastic parks; it’s got it all.” Set to become a landmark high
rise, Sun Towers promises to elevate sophistication and elegance to a whole new level. Designed by the awardwinning IBI Architects, the minute you walk into the Sun Towers two-storey lobby, with dedicated concierge, you feel like you are in a sophisticated hotel. This unique selection of thoughtfully designed homes – comprising one-, two- and three-bedroom residences – are walking distance to parks, trails and recreation, while also providing immediate accessibility and convenience to the province’s largest shopping centre. Adjacent the BC Parkway – a walking, cycling path that connects New Westminster to Vancouver, Sun Towers is an exclusive collection of 285 residences ranges in size from 518 to 1,048 square feet, as well as a mix of office and retail space – including a restaurant and daycare facility. The homes are designed with an obsession for detail and timeless quality, featuring an elegant mix of natural materials. Space
feels open and bright, yet comfortable and warm. For your comfort, each home is equipped with in-home heating and air conditioning. The sleek gourmet kitchens are equipped with high performance German-made Bosch appliances, which are seamlessly integrated into the custom designed German Nobilia cabinetry with Quartz countertop and full marble slab marble backsplash – adding a truly sophisticated aesthetic. The hotel-style bathrooms feature oversized floor and wall tiles in a timeless Carrera marble design and a floating Nobilia vanity to complement the sleek faucets and spa-inspired feel. The fitness centre is part of the Solaris Club – a complimentary private club for owners, spread over three floors offering an incredible mix of amenity, including a 60-foot swimming pool, sauna, steam room, hot tub, badminton court. The second-floor fitness centre comes complete with top-of-the-line weight-
lifting and cardio equipment, wellness room for yoga, meditation and dance, indoor golf room with multi-course simulator, and a members’ Lounge with TV, games and kitchen with dining room. Then there’s the Sky Garden, an incredible 6,700 –square-foot outdoor rooftop space with a child’s play area, outdoor BBQ and dining area, ping-pong, fire pit with surround lounge seating, hammocks and a sculpture garden – this is a true oasis in the sky. Belford Properties is one of the province’s premier home builders, and Sun Towers represents the final piece in The Golden Row, five cosmopolitan condominium towers located side by side along Beresford St. Sun Towers will once again elevate the benchmark for luxury condominium living in Burnaby.
