Introduction


South Yards Burnaby: A Master-Planned Urban Oasis

Welcome to South Yards Burnaby, a visionary development by Anthem Properties. Situated on an expansive 8.5-acre site at 4500 Dawson Street, this project promises to redefine urban living in Burnaby’s vibrant Brentwood neighborhood. South Yards is designed to be a mixed-use community, blending residential and commercial spaces across five residential towers and two mid-rise apartment buildings. With 2,100 condominiums and 340 rental suites, South Yards offers a variety of housing options tailored to different lifestyles and needs.

Prime Location: Gateway to Convenience

South Yards Burnaby enjoys an unbeatable location in Burnaby’s Brentwood area. Just a 3-minute walk from Brentwood Town Centre, residents will have easy access to over 250 stores, restaurants, and services within 1.1 million square feet of retail space. This proximity allows residents to enjoy shopping, dining, and entertainment without needing to travel far from home.
The development is also well-connected to other areas of the city. Situated just one block south of Brentwood Town Centre Station, South Yards makes it easy for residents to reach downtown Vancouver within 30 minutes via the SkyTrain. The community is designed to be walkable and bike-friendly, with quick access to the Central Valley Greenway, providing an active, sustainable lifestyle for residents.

SkyTrain Proximity: Effortless Connectivity

One of the standout features of South Yards Burnaby is its proximity to the SkyTrain, making it a commuter’s dream. The development is just a short walk from Brentwood Town Centre Station, part of Metro Vancouver’s SkyTrain system, which provides seamless access to various parts of the Lower Mainland. Whether you need to commute to downtown Vancouver for work or explore other neighborhoods, the SkyTrain offers an efficient and eco-friendly mode of transportation.
Being located so close to a major transit hub not only enhances the convenience for residents but also increases the property’s long-term value. Homes near SkyTrain stations tend to attract both homeowners and investors looking for accessibility and growth potential. The easy connection to transit makes South Yards an ideal choice for those who value efficient, car-free living.

Exceptional Amenities at South Yards Burnaby

At the heart of the South Yards Burnaby community is a stunning 1.14-acre urban park, designed to serve as the central gathering space for residents. This park features expansive green spaces, picnic areas, benches, and a café, providing a perfect backdrop for community events and leisurely afternoons. Public art installations, such as the impressive giraffe sculptures by Canadian artist Maskull Lasserre, will further enhance the park’s aesthetic appeal.
In addition to the park, South Yards offers a wide array of building-specific amenities. Residents can look forward to features like a games room, badminton and bocce courts, and dining and lounge areas. For fitness enthusiasts, the development includes a gym and yoga studio, while families will appreciate the outdoor playground and kids’ play area. Co-working spaces, guest suites, and social lounges add even more value, making South Yards a complete, self-contained community.
