The Marquis Grande Burnaby BC


“The Marquis Grande”, Halifax Street, Burnaby BC

This development in NW Burnaby consists of a high-rise residential tower and townhouses with underground parking.  It reflects a dramatic upgrade to an area fringing light industrial land uses and presents a greatly- enhanced frontage to the street.  PD Group was responsible for hard and soft landscape design.  There is a significant grade change across the site and this was used to advantage in creating a south-facing sheltered space for an outdoor pool surrounded by shade-giving trellis structures, patios and seating.  The main vehicular entry to the site terminates with a large entry trellis leading to the tower’s main lobby.  This trellised walk overlooks a vegetated slope that was stabilized with mainly native planting which screens adjoining development.
