A high-density housing development application for a site on Ladner Trunk Road has recently been submitted to the city.
Requiring an Official Community Plan amendment, rezoning and other approvals, the redevelopment would see a 211-unit condo complex built at 5349, 5359 and 5367 Ladner Trunk Rd. and 4834 and 4844 53 St.
The application by Bassi Properties/Highmark Homes Ltd. had been modified since it was originally presented to council as a preliminary concept several weeks ago. At that time, the proposal had a total of 193 units, but the application has since been revised with 18 additional units, which includes nine market and nine rental units.
In total, the new proposal includes 124 market and 87 rental units in two buildings.
There are two single-detached dwellings on Ladner Trunk Road, which would be demolished while the remaining properties are currently vacant. An adjacent funeral home at the corner of Ladner Trunk Road and 53 Street is not involved and would remain.
Planning staff note that the application is at a preliminary stage and aspects of the proposal may change in response to detailed staff review and comments received from council or the community.
The application’s next step is public consultation process before it heads to council for consideration.
