Burnaby is suing the developer of Gilmore Place in Brentwood Town Centre for ‘negligence’ in construction of a massive highrise development.
The City of Burnaby is suing the developer of a major highrise project over “significant damage” to its sidewalks and streets.
Onni is developing a five-tower highrise project at Gilmore SkyTrain Station at 2108 Gilmore Ave., 4161 Dawson St. and 4180 Lougheed Hwy., with retail and offices on the ground floor.The city says the construction of Gilmore Place caused the city’s property to settle, and the excavation caused “a reduction in groundwater level” nearby and “settlement of nearby soils.”
The city said the defendants “owed a duty of care” to the city to ensure the work complied with regulations and “prudent construction design.” “The defendants’ breach of duty and nuisance have caused and continue to cause the city to suffer loss and damage,” the city’s lawyers said, including costs to repair and investigate the damage, legal claims and increased property maintenance costs.The city is seeking general damages for negligence and failure to warn, special damages and interest.
