The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that the landmark office building known as the "Telus Boot" in Burnaby, B.C., is celebrating its 50th birthday this year with a makeover that will keep it vital for another half-century. In a Globe special, Howard Chai writes that the 6.6-acre property located on Kingsway in Burnaby -- the former B.C. Tel (later Telus) headquarters -- is currently home to a distinct, boot-shaped white office complex that will be the heart of a new mixed-use, master-planned community. The developers have called it a "reboot," and just like in the film industry, a reboot must retain some of its original features that it then builds upon. That's why the existing 22-storey office building will be restored, with more than 2,500 new residential units developed around it across multiple high-rises. Burnaby was an early Canadian adopter of transit-oriented development and has become home to dozens of sprawling multiphase, mixed-use projects along its transit corridors. Now, the "reboot" -- officially named King & Park -- is the latest example of multipurpose, transit-centric development. Burnaby has long wanted a SkyTrain station at the King & Park site, midway between two stations.
