Condo plan with three buildings heads to Burlington council for approval

A redevelopment plan for an industrial area of Burlington that calls for the creation of 722 residential units spread across three high-rise buildings is headed to Burlington city council for approval.

According to documents submitted to the city, the concept shows three buildings — 9, 16, and 20 stories — that will go up at 1393 Grahams Lane near Fairview Street and Brant Street.

Currently, a large storage warehouse is situated on the site.

The residential households will vary in size from studio to three-bedroom units. Parking for residents will be located underground with some visitor spaces at ground level. The majority of the living units will have private balconies.

Access to the buildings will be through existing driveways on Grahams Lane.

The documents also show the complex will host a system of pedestrian pathways that will connect the main entrances of the buildings to the public realm along Grahams Lane.

One public meeting has already been held to discuss the project and another will take place at a special council meeting planned for Aug. 7. At that meeting city planning staff will a recommendation on whether or not the project should be approved.
