The area around Brentwood Town Centre in Burnaby continues to transform, with new residential towers changing the skyline.
Most of the recent development in the area has been concentrated around the Brentwood SkyTrain station and the Amazing Brentwood project, but developers are beginning to look eastward to the area around Holdom SkyTrain station.
The area surrounding the Holdom SkyTrain station is mostly low-rise and industrial, but that’s beginning to change.
One project that will make a dramatic impact is Étoile Living by Millennium Development.
The development at Goring Street and Douglas Road will consist of two residential condominium towers (32 and 26-storeys) above work/live townhouses. Early previews for real estate agents have already begun, and presales should commence shortly.
