Burnaby - Pandora Street - Stratford Gardens

Rendering of a modern apartment complex with green landscaping, wide sidewalks, and pedestrians in an urban setting.

Artist rendering of proposed new Stratford Gardens

Overview

Built in 1972, the homes at Stratford Gardens are aging and in need of significant repair. BC Housing aims to replace 126 rent-geared-to-income (RGI) apartments with high-quality, modern rental homes for seniors, adults and those living with disabilities. This project provides an opportunity to add density to the site by including near-market and market rental homes that will serve middle-income families, students and residents in Burnaby.

Homes will be designed with improved landscaping, new amenities, and fit well with the surrounding neighbourhood. A childcare facility is proposed to add much needed care for families in Burnaby. This is a partnership with the Ministry of Education and Child Care (MECC).

Construction is planned in phases to minimize the number of tenants who will need to temporarily move for construction to begin. Four new buildings of up to 6 storeys are proposed for this site as a result of the City of Burnaby 2050 Official Community Plan review process. Increased height will support the delivery of more purpose-built rental housing that will serve the community for generations to come.

Community Engagement

The redevelopment of Stratford Gardens at 6005 Pandora Street in Burnaby is moving forward. The planning and approval process will take time as we work closely with the City of Burnaby. BC Housing has been actively engaging with the community since the start of the project. We are committed to regular and ongoing communications with those who live on-site. Informational meetings are offered regularly to ensure tenants of Stratford Gardens are kept up-to-date.

In 2021, a survey was conducted to gather feedback from neighbours. The community was also invited to learn more and share their thoughts at a virtual neighbourhood open house.

In Spring 2025, BC Housing responded to the proposed Burnaby 2050 Official Community Plan (OCP) update with a revised concept for redevelopment at Stratford Gardens. More information about the OCP can be found at: Burnaby's Official Community Plan Project | City of Burnaby

A public open house was hosted on April 16, 2025. The open house allowed BC Housing to share the long-term community benefits of the redevelopment..
