METROTOWN SKYTRAIN CONDOS

METROTOWN SKYTRAIN CONDOS

History of the Neighborhood

 

Metrotown has quickly become one of the most densely populated areas in the Lower Mainland but it also holds an interesting history. Previously known as the Kingsway-Sussex area, in the 1950’s-1960’s this was one of the most settled neighborhoods in Burnaby. Firstly, the area offered an array of vantage points for residents to enjoy. Secondly, being within such close vicinity to Vancouver and a busy corridor in-between Vancouver and New Westminster made this a prime location for the working class family. At this time the advancements in urban convenience were slowly making their way into Burnaby. For instance, strip malls, housing, developments, and services. This included but was not limited to Sears and Ford. Two of the biggest names of the era.

In 1974, it was finally agreed upon that the Town Centre Model should be moved to become Metrotown. It was not until 1977 when the development plan was finally released. Further to that, this changed the demographic from single family homes, to put emphasis on developments, townhomes, condos, and apartments. Meanwhile, with years of planning, the original Metrotown proposal has become unrecognizable. In order to leave space for rapid transit, and with property lines remaining almost identical to 1956, many adjustments were made. Metrotown Shopping Center was finally open in 1986 shortly after the adjacent Metrotown SkyTrain Station.

After that, in 2002 the two buildings of the town center merged by destroying the passageway and renovating them into one shopping experience. The Metrotown neighborhood continued to grow and has turned into one of the busiest transit destinations in the Lower Mainland. Further negotiations with Translink in recent years will improve this even more. The new vision is to focus more on pedestrian accessibility mainly surrounding the Metrotown Skytrain sector.

 

Amenities

Situated in the South West quadrant of Burnaby, Metrotown has much to offer its residents. That is to say you will find everything you need in one neighborhood. Beginning with the grand attraction of Central Park, Metrotown offers several outdoor family-friendly locations along with many smaller green spaces. Additionally, Bonsor Recreation Complex offers fitness friendly activities. During the planning process, Burnaby Public Library also opened their Metrotown Branch which is conveniently located near several schools in the area. Many, if not all these locations are easily accessible by transit. On the other hand, Metrotown Skytrain Condos and Townhomes have become a hot ticket item as well. Similarly, Metrotown presale Condos and townhomes have been appearing throughout the neighborhood. These family friendly options offer a full variety of lifestyle options.

Above all, you are at the heart of the shopping district. Minutes away from Metrotown Shopping Center this area give you endless options for shopping, dining, entertainment, and more! Also the Old Orchard Shopping Center provides a different shopping experience. Meanwhile, commute time is cut down due to al the rapid transit options available. In addition, the Metrotown district opens opportunities to new job prospects all in one easy to find location.

Known as a combination of attainable single detached homes and condominiums, this neighborhood is now also famous for Brentwood SkyTrain Condos and Townhomes. With easy access to various transit options, Brentwood has quickly become a popular and exciting new place to be part of.

The original approval for Brentwood Park was in 1953. At this time, the construction of approximately 400 homes, and a shopping center were put into action. With this, Brentwood became the first subdivision in Burnaby to be developed with a full sewage system, and paved streets. Based on a development plan created in 1996, Brentwood town center was re-approached with a “Village” concept. By using this method, the city was able to continue to expand and enhance the area to turn it into one of the largest urban attractions in the Lower Mainland.

New Surrey-Langley SkyTrain Line Extension

Surrey-Langley SkyTrain Line Extension Project

 

The Surrey Langley SkyTrain project is one of the most anticipated projects in the Lower Mainland. This extension to the Expo line will bring the SkyTrain all the way to Langley. The line will run 16km in length and will connect 3 key corridors on the South of the Fraser. That is to say,104 Ave, King George Boulevard, and the Fraser Highway will all be a part of this major project. In other words, this line will connect users to more services, communities, and opportunities in half the amount of time!

The Surrey Langley SkyTrain will run from King George Station, along Fraser Highway, all the way to 203 Street in Langley. This will give thousands of residents an opportunity to put their cars away and switch to public transit conveniently and reliably. Similarly this system is built to carry over 60,000 daily riders.  In addition, the line will have 8 SkyTrain stations on route, as well as 3 bus exchanges.

This project is looking to connect; Surrey Metro Centre – Fleetwood Town Centre – Langley Regional City Centre.

July 2021 – The Government of Canada has announced up at $1.3 billion dollars in federal funding will be put towards this project. In order to support the 16-kilometre extension, this government of BC has assumed ownership and delivery of this project, which Translink will operate as part of their regional SkyTrain network once fully functional and in-service.

UBC SkyTrain Extension

In 2014 the City of Vancouver included the 2 part extension of the SkyTrain line to UBC in their vision. It was planned out so the city could complete the line to Arbutus, and then extend to UBC. As a result, the UBC SkyTrain line will be extended along the Broadway Corridor to the following stations;

MacDonald SkyTrain Station, Alma SkyTrain Station, Sasamat SkyTrain Station, Blanca SkyTrain Station, Westbrook Mall SkyTrain Station, West 16th SkyTrain Station.

 

 

Further to the first extension, this line will complete the transit system on the Broadway Corridor. Therefore, residents all over the Lower Mainland will have full access by SkyTrain to countless opportunities. The UBC SkyTrain line will improve the experience for UBC Students. Meanwhile, those working along the corridor will be able to shorten their commute time and do so comfortably.

Perks

In conclusion, the perks are endless. The UBC SkyTrain line is a much needed, and wanted project for this city. Above all, it cannot come soon enough for the thousands of people who utilize the current bus lines along Broadway. The project is predicted to begin in 2021, and the extension to Arbutus to be complete by 2025.
