“Nestled on the cusp of Brentwood, a dynamic and fast-evolving neighbourhood, Bassano offers a contrast with Italian elegance radiating throughout the community and its tranquil park space,” said the Boffo press release.
About 93 rental units would be built at 5650 Beresford St. as an interim “swing site” for tenants displaced due to development while their new replacement units are built under Burnaby’s rental-use zoning policy. “Connecting the project to their origins in Northern Italy forms a true legacy for this community. The team has worked incredibly hard to curate an authentic ‘Made in Italy’ offering for homeowners who have a sophisticated understanding of the level of detail and craftsmanship that a Boffo home provides.”
Outdoor amenities feature a 23,000-sq.ft. park with gardens, a children’s play area, bocce court and dog run. Phase 3 would include two towers up to 42 storeys on a six-storey podium, with 462 condos and 144 non-market rentals.
