Burnaby - 6005 Pandora Street - Stratford Gardens
Overview
To help with the region’s growing housing affordability crisis, BC Housing is planning to redevelop its property at 6005 Pandora Street, Burnaby (“Stratford Gardens”). The redevelopment will include reinvesting in the property and rebuilding aging affordable housing. BC Housing’s goal is to replace the 126 affordable housing units and create additional affordable housing. Redevelopment will offer high-quality, affordable housing for current residents, and create more affordable homes in the City of Burnaby.
Community Engagement
In June of 2021 BC Housing engaged Stratford Gardens tenants to inform them of the intention to redevelopment the site.
A survey was made available for neighbours to share their thoughts. We also hosted a virtual neighbourhood open house on Tuesday, November 2, 2021.
We thank everyone who submitted their questions and comments. What we learn from tenants and the public will help set the direction for the future of Stratford Gardens.
BC Housing is working with the City of Burnaby to undergo an amendment to the Official Community Plan (OCP). More information can be found on the City of Burnaby’s website. filestream.ashx (escribemeetings.com)
BC Housing is committed to a tenant-first approach to engagement. Redevelopment will be phased to minimize disruption for existing residents. Phase 1 will replace all existing affordable seniors’ units to minimize potential tenant relocations and to give the opportunity for current tenants to move into the new building. We are early in the redevelopment planning process and there will be more opportunities for engagement as we move forward. We will provide updates and more information in the coming months.
