CONCORD BRENTWOOD
SUN TOWERS METROTOWN
The average rent for a one bedroom in Vancouver as per the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) this month was pegged at $1750.00. That is a lot of money, and we hope you’re getting at least that! If you have an investment property and it’s already getting that it could be down to a couple of the following contributing factors. In this blog, we will outline four factors that contribute to why people pay more to live The SkyTrain Living Lifestyle.
What is the SkyTrain Living Lifestyle?
First of, if you are on this site, you believe in the power of purchasing property near the Sky Train but you do not understand why people want to live close to the system? Let’s outline four factors that we believe contribute to this trend:
Walkability
Houses, Townhouses, and Apartments whether in newer buildings or older buildings will always have the highest Walk Score when located within Rapid Transit corridors. What is a Walk Score and why does it matter? It is a number that uses an algorithm that incorporates the subject property address, and it’s proximity to restaurants, grocery stores, bars, transit, and other services. The equation produces a “Walk Score” out of 100. 100 being highly walkable or a “Walkers Paradise” and 0 being, well, the worst. Important because the higher the Walk Score, the more tenants will want to rent or buy your property for not only the transit factor but also the walkability one.
The Car-Free Lifestyle
This new lifestyle trend that s touted by the Municipal governments, environmentalists and health nuts alike is a growing trend that you can catch through savvy investing and marketing. This trend is seeing many people give up the gridlock in favour for bicycling, transit, and car shares. If this trend continues – it’s showing no signs of slowing down – anyone who has invested in Sky Train condos will not only see their property values grow faster, but they’ll also see the greatest rise in rental rates combined with a low vacancy rate.
Young People Are Not Driving
Yes, this is a thing! In the Metro Vancouver, there is a growing trend of 16-20-year-olds not getting their driving licences. That means in the next five to ten years these individuals will be your tenants and they will not have cars! They want to be close to the Sky Train so they can get where they need to go without the expense of car ownership. Much like the internet, this is the growing trend, and if you’re not investing in Real Estate with this trend in mind you are making a mistake.
Traffic in Metro Vancouver is the Worst
Not going into detail on this one but we just replaced our horn.

History of Yaletown
As like the rest of Vancouver, Yaletown was heavily influenced by the Canadian Pacific Railway. By the year 1880 the line had reached the large town of Yale, then the former centre of the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush. As the line expanded, the residents of Yale moved with it to what would eventually be known as Yaletown. These modest homes were converted into industrial centres due to the proximity to False Creek and the Railway. As time went on and Globalization took its effect, Expo86 came to Vancouver and kick started the real estate boom of the 20th century. After industry left the area, the land was contaminated and bought by the city. Opening the door for the eventual redevelopment. The site, purchased by the city, eventually sold to Hong Kong based developer Li Ka-Shing which set in motion what is Yaletown today.
Finishes
This new development By Boffo Developments will be like no other. Offering an attention to detail in one of downtown Vancouver is most desired locations.

Millennium Developments brings Luxury, Elegance, and forward thinking to their new three hundred and forty unit, forty-six story project: Triomphe. Located on a prestigious corner in the heart of Brentwood, this development offers proximity to Brentwood Centre but just enough distance to not get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the new Master Planned community. Triomphe aims to not only exceed your expectations but blow them away through a luxurious offering that includes: wide planked hardwood floors, Quartz counter tops, Bosch Appliances, European style cabinetry, over-sized tile in the bathrooms and much more.
With over 50% of units in this development already sold, it is easy to see why when looking at some of the rendering drawings by Architect Chris Dikeakos and interiors designed by Mitchell Freeland. A lot of time and energy was spent on making this development luxurious and welcoming. Starting with the forty foot ceilinged lobby, residents will be welcomed by twenty-four-hour concierge service and will proceed to their homes (which start on the fourth floor of the development) through one of the high-speed elevators.
The units themselves strive to bring luxury to Burnaby with the additions of must have features as outlined above. Units in the development feature open concept kitchens with Quartz Counter tops, soft close European Cabinetry, and Bosch Appliances. The fridge and dishwasher are tastefully hid behind custom cabinetry that brings flow and symmetry to the unit.

Giving you timeless elegance that is always in good taste and will never go out of style.
Bathrooms within this Development are designed with the art of grooming in mind. With marble inspired over-sized porcelain tile floors and walls, European-style vanity cabinetry, and modern basins.

Master bathrooms feature a deluxe rain shower with a handheld shower that makes shower time less of a chore and more of an indulgence. This development will actually have you looking forward to getting up in the morning so you can get ready.

TRIOMPHE by Millennium
On September 19, 2016, Translink CEO Kevin Desmond announced that changes are coming to Vancouver’s Rapid Transit system. Users of the network will see these changes coming to effect on October 22 as part of a test to prepare for the opening of the new Evergreen Extension.
Here is a bullet point summary of how these changes will affect the Expo and Millennium Lines:
The Expo Line:
- Implementation of two routes:
- First one travelling between Waterfront (Downtown Vancouver) and King George Station (Surrey).
- Second one travelling between Waterfront (Downtown Vancouver) and Production Way-University in Burnaby
The Millennium Line:
- No longer travelling to Waterfront Station. It will go between VCC-Clark station in Vancouver to Lougheed Town Centre in Burnaby.
- Commercial Broadway
- Lougheed Station (NOTE: MAKE SURE TO READ THE SIGN ON THE TRAIN AND/OR ON THE NOTICE BOARD! YOU COULD END UP ON THE WRONG TRAIN AS THEY ARE ARRIVING ON THE SAME PLATFORM)
- Production Way-University
There will also be some changes once the Evergreen Line comes into operation which will affect the Millennium Line. The Millennium Line will now operate between VCC-Clark and Lafarge Lake – Douglas stations. Meaning that you will have the ability to enjoy a “one-seat” ride between Lafarge Lake – Douglas and VCC-Clark so you’ll have plenty of time to browse the internet, keep on to date on the market, and get some much-needed work done.
If you are concerned about these changes and are unsure of how it will affect your daily commute. Translink has provided a Trip Planner on their website that takes into the account and will show you how your daily commute is affected. You can log to http://tripplanning.translink.ca/ to see how your daily commute is affected.
