Telford is a transit-oriented development, centrally located in the Maywood District, adjacent to Metropolis and just steps away from the Metrotown Skytrain Station in Burnaby’s city centre.
The tower has 366 units of market residential, while the low-rise building contains 59 below-market and 7 market rental units. The wide mix of condominium types, provide a range of housing options for individuals and households of all life stages and socioeconomic backgrounds. The entire ground floor is proposed as a mixture of passive and active common uses intended to interact seamlessly with the outdoor common amenity spaces.
An east-west linkage on the north side (adjacent to Metroplace) provides a 4 m wide hardscape path and a planted area along the affordable rental component, positively contributing to neighbourhood walkability. Overall, the landscape design embraces the notion of a contemporary interpretation of an Asian garden. The 21st Century Rock Garden, created by renowned artist Douglas Coupland, stands in front of the building, inviting residents and visitors to slow down and interact with this visually vibrant installation.
