On May 31, 2022, Burnaby council approved bylaw amendments to rezone the Willingdon Lands, a 40-acre parcel at 3405 Willingdon Avenue at the corner of Willingdon Avenue and Canada Way.
The Willingdon Lands are owned by the xʷməθkʷəy̓ əm (Musqueam) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, who will develop the property with Aquilini Development Group.
The parcel is less than one kilometre east of Vancouver and two kilometres south of Burrard Inlet and between Brentwood Town Centre and Metrotown.
The amendments were to the Burnaby Zoning Bylaw 1965, Amendment Bylaw No. 12, 2022 – Bylaw No. 14446.
Burnaby council redesignated the site as an Urban Village through an Official Community Plan amendment which will include multi-family developments outside of town centres, with commercial service and additional public uses through CD zoning comprised of RM5/RM5r, C2 and B2 zones.
