Revs Bowling Centre, Burnaby's last standing bowling alley and the largest west of Ontario, could be demolished as part of a redevelopment plan. Keltic Canada Development proposes three new towers near Holdom SkyTrain Station, including a 60-storey condo, a 54-storey condo, and a 46-storey rental building. The development also includes plans for commercial space, pedestrian improvements, and enhancements to Beecher Creek.
Burnaby ’s last standing bowling alley is on borrowed time as redevelopment plans for the site have been sent to city council for review.
Currently home to Revs Bowling Centre, the last bowling alley in Burnaby and the largest west of Ontario, next to Holdom SkyTrain station, the property also includes a fitness and racquetball centre.The developer has plans to add about 6,850 square feet of commercial uses along Lougheed Highway, which city staff say would provide “walkable opportunities for residents, employees and transit passengers” and encourage social interaction in the neighbourhood.
The second phase would include the 60-storey condo tower and enhancements to the streamside protection area around Beecher Creek.Staff said the development brings a “unique opportunity” to daylight and relocate a portion of the creek to “improve circulation for the fish habitat.” “Developing outside of the presents a significant challenge in providing a reasonably sized development footprint while maintaining the integrity of the riparian area,” said the report.
