27-storey tower with condos and rentals proposed near Burquitlam Station
Another mixed-use tower application has been submitted to the City of Coquitlam for a site near SkyTrain’s Burquitlam Station.
Local developer Ikor Group’s proposal for 625 North Road — a mid-block site on the east side of the road between Foster Avenue and Perth Avenue, currently occupied by Burquitlam Funeral Home — calls for a 289-ft-tall, 27-storey mixed tenure residential tower with mixed tenure.
Records show the property was acquired by the developer for $15.5 million in June 2017.

Altogether, the building will have a total floor area of 425,000 sq ft, giving it a floor area ratio density of 5.5 times the size of the 29,000-sq-ft lot.
