About Two Gilmore Place

Mixed-use buildings have different kinds of spaces inside them. For example, Two Gilmore Place has many apartments where people live, and it also has shops or businesses on the lower floors. This makes it a busy and lively place for both living and shopping.

Building Features

This skyscraper has 64 floors, which is a lot of levels! It includes 643 apartments, providing homes for many people. The company that developed this huge project is called the Onni Group.

History of the Project

The construction of the entire Gilmore Place complex, including Two Gilmore Place, started in 2021. It took a few years to build this massive structure, and it was officially completed in 2024. The building quickly became a new landmark in Burnaby because of its incredible height.
