Yaletown is coming to Burnaby.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the main idea behind Concord Brentwood, a master-planned community that will encompass\u2014and transform\u201410.5 hectares in Burnaby\u2019s coveted Brentwood neighbourhood, says Matt Meehan, senior vice-president of planning with Concord Pacific Developments Inc.<\/p>\n

The renowned development company is known for building large-scale communities such as Concord Pacific Place in Yaletown\u2014one of Canada\u2019s largest urban master-planned communities located on the former Expo lands in Vancouver\u2019s False Creek\u2014as well as a host of other prestigious developments in Metro Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary and London, England. Now it has its sights set on Brentwood.<\/p>\n

\u201cConcord Brentwood will transform an underutilized industrial area into a beautiful and diverse mixed-use park-side community that completes the exciting revitalization of the Brentwood Town Centre neighbourhood,\u201d says Meehan.<\/p>\n

The master-planned community, Concord\u2019s largest in Burnaby, will sit in the heart of Brentwood, south of Lougheed Highway between Beta and Delta avenues and extending south past Dawson Street, and will be anchored by a 5.26-hectare park and green space. Brentwood Town Centre\u2014currently undergoing a massive redevelopment into a world-class shopping, dining and entertainment destination\u2014and its SkyTrain station is a short walk away.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was planned closely with the City of Burnaby to be an extremely livable family community. It is intended to round out the current mix of development in Brentwood and provide future residents a valuable park side alternative,\u201d Meehan says.<\/p>\n

Designed by award-winning architect James K.M. Cheng of Vancouver, Concord Brentwood will consist of 10 glass and concrete towers, mostly between 40 and 45 storeys tall. Tower 1 of Phase 1 will consist of 426 units on 45 storeys. Signature proposed exterior architectural elements include asymmetrical supporting pillars that extend approximately 11.6 metres from ground level, creating \u201ca dynamic visual presence as well as architectural support for the tower,\u201d says Peter Udzenija, director of corporate relations with Concord Pacific.<\/p>\n

Tower 1\u2019s one- to three-bedroom homes will range in size from approximately 534 square feet to 1,239 square feet. Luxurious finishings and interior features will include fully integrated Bosch appliances, engineered-quartz countertops, marble tile backsplashes in the shower and wood grain laminate finish for closet organizers, door trim and interior suite doors.<\/p>\n

Common area features will include Wi-Fi in ground-floor lobbies and amenity areas, a building-wide water filtration system, an automatic car wash and manual car-wash bays with hot and cold water<\/p>\n

A central lobby concierge podium, shared between towers 1 and 2 of Phase 1, will house two levels of amenities, including a fitness centre with yoga studio, grand lounge, games room, pet grooming room, business centre, study rooms and a music room.<\/p>\n

Brentwood\u2019s enviable central location, 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver, offers easy access to Trans-Canada and Lougheed highways. The Brentwood SkyTrain station on the Millennium line connects to the Expo line as well as the future Evergreen line that runs to Port Moody and Coquitlam. The recently opened Whole Foods supermarket at the intersection of Lougheed Highway and Willingdon Avenue, Save-On-Foods at Madison Centre and a growing array of shops, restaurants and amenities are within a short walk; and the vibrant, multicultural Burnaby Heights neighbourhood, just up Willingdon Avenue on Hastings Street, offers charming caf\u00e9s, European patisseries, local butcher shops, fresh food market, and an acclaimed French fine dining restaurant, The Pear Tree.<\/p>\n

Concord Brentwood Phase 1 sales are set to open this spring. The Burnaby presentation centre, located in Metrotown, is in its final construction stages and will soon be open to the public.
