What Makes Burnaby Stand Out
🌆 Location & Connectivity
- Anchored by Expo and Millennium SkyTrain lines, including major stations at Metrotown, Brentwood, and Lougheed
- Transit-oriented development is booming, with upcoming density near stations and no exemptions on TOA zoning, ensuring sustained growth
🛍 Vibrant Town Centres
- Metrotown: BC’s largest mall and a dynamic urban core drawing consistent foot traffic
- Brentwood & Lougheed: Rapidly transforming with new high-rises, retail, and parks; still offering relative value compared to Vancouver.
🌳 Lifestyle & Amenities
- Over 25% of land preserved as parks—plus trails, the Central Valley Greenway, and lakeside recreation Wikipedia.
- Abundant services—shopping, schools, entertainment, and culture are within walking distance from town centres.
- Major employers include Simon Fraser University, BCIT, film studios, and tech companies like D‑Wave, Ballard, and EA .
