Presale Condos Burnaby

Living in the Heart of Metro Vancouver

Burnaby combines long-established residential districts with some of Metro Vancouver’s most intensively-planned urban centres. Much of the city consists of quiet, single-family neighbourhoods with mature streetscapes and access to parks and schools. Interspersed among them are four designated town centres — Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed, and Edmonds — where higher-density, mixed-use communities have been built around SkyTrain stations.

This structure gives Burnaby a distinctive balance: stable, low-rise areas alongside compact hubs that concentrate housing, shops, and services within walking distance of transit. For many residents, it means the ability to live in a condominium or townhome that supports a car-optional lifestyle, while still being close to established family neighbourhoods and green space. As redevelopment continues, these centres are expected to absorb most of Burnaby’s new housing, offering presale buyers a choice between urban convenience and the calmer rhythm of adjoining residential districts.

Brentwood Town Centre

Brentwood represents Burnaby’s clearest example of a modern transit-oriented community. The redevelopment around Brentwood Town Centre and the Millennium Line has replaced surface parking and aging retail with new streets, homes, and public spaces. Residents benefit from rapid transit access in all directions and an increasing number of shops and services within walking distance. A growing selection of presales includes both tower homes and nearby townhome sites, reflecting a community designed for people who want city access without the long commute that often comes with it.

Metrotown

Burnaby’s downtown, centred on Metrotown, has been planned as a high-density urban core with housing, retail, offices, and civic spaces integrated around the Expo Line. The ongoing Metrotown Downtown Plan is reshaping this area with new public plazas, school capacity, and a redeveloped civic square that will anchor future cultural uses. Living here means access to a major transit hub, one of the region’s largest shopping and employment districts, and essential services within a few blocks. For residents, it offers the efficiency of the 15-minute city — reliable transit, nearby schools, and daily needs met locally.

Lougheed Town Centre

Lougheed is developing as a mixed-use district built around one of the region’s most connected SkyTrain stations. The City of Lougheed masterplan includes new homes, open spaces, and commercial areas designed to make the community less car-dependent. Buyers are drawn by the ability to reach multiple employment centres without needing to drive.

Edmonds Town Centre

In Edmonds, new development is replacing older housing stock with a range of multi-family options near local schools, parks, and shops. The Southgate City project and nearby community improvements are expected to bring more mid-rise and townhome opportunities. For families, Edmonds offers the benefits of proximity without the pace of the larger town centres.

Growth & Development

Burnaby’s growth model is guided by the principle that density should follow transit. Its four town centres are connected by the Expo and Millennium SkyTrain lines, and future Bus Rapid Transit routes are being planned along Willingdon Avenue and Lougheed Highway to expand that network. This connectivity allows households to reduce car dependence, saving on fuel, insurance, and parking while cutting travel time. The City’s ongoing Official Community Plan review supports a balance of housing types — high-rise and mid-rise near stations, townhomes and low-rise within walking distance — to accommodate families as well as individuals.

Civic projects reflect the same emphasis on proximity. The upcoming Burnaby Lake Recreation Complex, upgrades to schools and libraries, and expanded cycling and greenway networks strengthen local accessibility and public space. These investments not only support sustainability goals but also improve the everyday experience of residents who choose to live near where they work and play. For presale buyers, Burnaby’s co-ordinated planning means greater certainty that their chosen neighbourhood will continue to add value through better services and infrastructure rather than speculation alone.

Future Opportunities

Burnaby Mountain

The UniverCity community on Burnaby Mountain continues to grow alongside Simon Fraser University. New presales here often appeal to buyers who value education, access to forested trails, and compact living within an identifiable neighbourhood centre. Planned transit improvements are expected to strengthen its link to the rest of the city.

North Burnaby West

Future presales are expected to bring larger mixed-use redevelopments along Hastings Street, with more mid-rise housing integrated into the corridor. As Burnaby updates land-use plans, this area will likely see increased density, stronger transit connections, and a gradual transformation into a more significant housing market.

Presales here are led by Kʷasən Village, a 40‑acre master plan with thousands of homes, parks, and retail. Smaller midrise projects along Canada Way and near BCIT add variety, offering buyers central connectivity and early entry into Burnaby’s next major redevelopment district south of Highway 1.

This mixed residential-industrial area is gradually evolving with transit-oriented developments, such as the Burnaby Lake Village master plan next to Sperling Station. Elsewhere, presale options are primarily lowrise buildings and townhomes situated near extensive parklands.

Why Choose a Home in Burnaby?

Burnaby provides a range of presale options, from highrise condominiums in its transit-connected town centres to lower-density, multi-family homes in areas like Burnaby Mountain and the Sixth Street corridor. This variety allows buyers to select a home that more closely aligns with their needs for space, building type, and proximity to shops and services.

The city’s focus on building complete communities means new housing is matched with needed public facilities. These include the Cameron Library, schools such as Brentwood Town Centre–East Elementary, and the redevelopment of the Burnaby Lake Recreation Complex. For the need to travel outside the community, transportation services are also being scaled up to match population growth, with the planned introduction of Bus Rapid Transit lines to the North Shore and along Hastings Street.
