Living near Brentwood Town Centre
Brentwood is the most complete transit-oriented package in Burnaby right now: a large mall physically attached to the station, five regional bus routes, and the newest condo inventory in the city. The station needed a capacity rebuild finishing in 2025 because the towers arrived faster than the infrastructure. That tells you what the demand looks like.
Getting around from here
A major regional connection point for north Burnaby, Metrotown, North Vancouver, and New Westminster. Routes include the 25 to UBC, the 123 to New Westminster Station, the 130 to Kootenay Loop and Phibbs Exchange, the 134 to Lake City, and the 136 to Lougheed.
Adjacent to The Amazing Brentwood shopping centre, connected to the station by a ramp and walkway from the north entrance. The station's south entrance was rebuilt between 2022 and 2025 with a new elevator and escalators to add capacity as the area's population grew.

What the TOA rules mean here
Brentwood Town Centre station, like every SkyTrain station in BC, sits at the centre of a designated transit-oriented area under Bill 47. Within 200 metres of the station, municipalities must permit at least 20 storeys. From 200 to 400 metres, the minimum is 12 storeys. From 400 to 800 metres, it is 8 storeys. Minimum parking requirements cannot be imposed on new housing inside the ring.
For a buyer, this is the difference between a lot that is worth what the house on it is worth, and a lot that is worth what someone could eventually build on it. It also means the view from a unit near this station is less permanent than it looks. The main SkyTrain guide covers the tiers in full, and the SSMUH zoning guide explains how the separate Bill 44 multiplex rules interact with it.
A note on how I use this page
Station facts here are verified. The read on who an area suits is my professional opinion, and it does not replace pricing a specific address. Two units the same distance from this platform can be worth meaningfully different amounts depending on which street they face, what is approved next door, and how the building is run.
