Tower 3 Completed at DIALOG – Vancouver Studio

Capital Point is a chance to reimagine an entire city block in Metrotown Downtown. The proposed development will bring much-needed market and below-market rental housing to help meet Burnaby’s growing population and support a diverse workforce. The development will be completed in two phases and includes both renovation and new construction, along with public space improvements: Tower 01 (Phase 1): A major upgrade of the existing building, expanding office, retail, and amenity spaces. The building envelope will also be improved to boost energy efficiency and meet Step 3 of the BC Building Code. Tower 03 (Phase 2): A new 49-storey residential tower featuring indoor and outdoor amenities. It will include 80% market strata units and 20% affordable rental units. Its design draws inspiration from the flowing form of Tower 01 while adapting to the surrounding residential context to the south.

Tower 3’s projecting balconies, punched windows and contrasting material on the south and east facades are a visual indication that this is a residential tower, as opposed to its commercial sibling. The tower maintains one commercial
retail unit along Kathleen Avenue. The residential tower is accessed from the corner of Kathleen and Kemp to the East, with a separate bicycle entrance leading to the extensive bicycle storage facilities at the South.
