Burnaby British Columbia Real Estate

     Greater Vancouver, Canada's third largest metropolitan area, is emerging as a world city. Within this urban area with all its accumulated advantages, the City of Burnaby has become a centre of abundant, well defined and focused opportunities. Burnaby provides an ideal location for further residential, commercial and industrial growth. As the City of Vancouver's immediate eastern neighbour, it offers a sophisticated balance of urban and suburban development noted for both its diversity and regional significance.
The first regional community to commit itself to the Partners in Enterprise Program sponsored by the Province of British Columbia, Burnaby has an open and enthusiastic attitude to its ongoing development.
     Building permits for all sectors of the economy - residential, commercial, industrial and institutional - reflect the growth which has placed Burnaby second only to the City of Vancouver as a centre of employment and output in British Columbia.
     Burnaby Metrotown, a rapidly developing Regional Town Centre, is indicative of the progressive and organized approach to development in the community. Metrotown provides a central focus for commercial and residential development just 6 miles from downtown Vancouver and is served by the region's Light Rapid Transit system. Major retail, office and residential projects have been developed in Metrotown which, with more to come, promise a dynamic future for this important centre. Other significant concentrations of commercial and industrial development are found in the Municipality ranging from regional shopping centres and suburban office parks to industrial estates - most of which capitalize on the advantages of Burnaby's regional accessibility.
     Burnaby's quality educational facilities provide a natural complement to the progressive business environment. As a leading centre of post-secondary education in British Columbia, Simon Fraser University attracts students from all parts of Canada as well as overseas. Together with the British Columbia Institute of Technology, which offers a wide range of specialized technical education, they provide students of all ages with unequalled access to continuing education opportunity.

     Business and industry will also find a very receptive environment for high technology and other state-of-the-art enterprises in Burnaby's Discovery Parks. Located adjacent to Simon Fraser University and the British Columbia Institute of Technology, these special development centres are specifically designed to facilitate scientific research and development.
     Complementing the City's responsive attitude to its residential, commercial and industrial development is a park and recreation system of which its citizens are justly proud. Residents enjoy access to many miles of walking trails, public parks, beaches, indoor and outdoor pools, rinks, golf courses and a variety of recreation centres and related programs.
     A wide choice of single family, high-rise apartment and multiple family condominium housing is available throughout the Burnaby area. With a population of 175,000 and a well educated labour force of some 83,000, Burnaby offers an unusual range of opportunities and environmental advantages for anyone who wishes to invest in the present prosperity and future growth of Canada's third largest metropolis.
