Burnaby - 6005 Pandora Street - Stratford Gardens

Rendering 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 existing affordable housing and create additional affordable housing, to continue to offer high-quality, affordable housing for current residents, and to create more affordable homes in the City of Burnaby.

Community Engagement

In June of 2021 BC Housing engaged current Stratford Gardens tenants to inform them of the intention to explore options for redevelopment. Engagement is ongoing with current tenants.

Notification was given to immediate neighbours of Stratford Gardens to inform them of the intention to explore options for redevelopment and solicit early input. A survey was made available for neighbours to share their thoughts. We also hosted a virtual neighbourhood open house on Tuesday, November 2, 2021.

The survey is now closed. We thank everyone who submitted their questions and comments. Your feedback will be summarized and included in an engagement report, which will be available here when it is complete.

We are very 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. You can also submit questions and comments for the project team in the Q&A below.

Project Details

The redevelopment will include:

  • Replacement of all existing affordable seniors’ homes
  • Additional purpose-built affordable rental homes for seniors, couples, individuals, and families
  • Improved site conditions through upgrades to landscaping, curbs and sidewalks
  • Landscaped pedestrian walkway
  • Amenity courtyard
  • Childcare facility
  • Vehicle and bicycle parking (including visitor stalls) provided in one underground level

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. The later phases will include additional affordable housing.
