Major warehouse development planned for Metro Vancouver
A major warehouse development is planned for a large vacant industrial site just south of Riverway Golf Course in South Burnaby.
Beedie Development Group has eyed 5255 North Fraser Way — a 14.9-acre property at the northwest corner of the intersection of North Fraser Way and Glenlyon Parkway — into a two-building complex.
The gap between the north and south buildings creates a spine for the loading docks of freight trucks.
A total of 438 vehicle parking stalls will be provided, including 233 manufacturing warehouse stalls and 204 office stalls.
An amenity restaurant and cafe incorporated into the southeast corner of the south building, closest to the intersection, will serve building tenants and the area’s growing industrial-oriented businesses.
According to a city staff report, the redevelopment aligns with the municipality’s Glenlyon Concept Plan and Big Bend Development Plan, which established high quality and unique architecture to attract cleaner and lighter industrial users to the business park.
Other major tenants in this business park include the Canadian headquarters of Best Buy, Bollard Power Systems, LMI Technologies, PNP Pharmaceuticals, Houle Electric, and the headquarters of the Hospital Employees’ Union.
Over one million sq ft of industrial space has been built in the area, and Beedie plans on building another one million sq ft, including 5255 North Fraser Way.
