Homes for Sale in Metrotown, BC

Metrotown is the principal town centre of the City of Burnaby — the densest concentration of SkyTrain access, retail, and post-2017 high-rise residential supply in Metro Vancouver outside downtown Vancouver. Three Expo Line stations (Patterson, Metrotown, and Royal Oak — all opened December 11, 1985 with the original Expo Line) sit along Kingsway within roughly 2.5 km of each other, anchoring the spine of the neighbourhood. Metropolis at Metrotown (4700 Kingsway, owned by Ivanhoé Cambridge) is Canada's third-largest shopping mall by gross leasable area (~1.8M sq ft, ~450 stores) after West Edmonton Mall and Square One in Mississauga; the Metrotown SkyTrain Station is integrated into the mall property at Central Boulevard via the Metrotown Bus Loop.

The Metrotown Downtown Plan was adopted by Council in July 2017 — the upzoning framework that anchors the high-rise residential / mixed-use buildout. The plan contemplates 200+ towers within the plan boundaries (Imperial / Beresford / Boundary / Royal Oak), with the long-horizon resident count built up over decades as parcels turn over. Dozens of towers are complete (Sovereign, Met, Concord Metrotown); dozens more are in application or construction. For a buyer, the practical implications are that the resale comp set inside the plan boundary is tower-dominant and presale-correlated, construction noise on neighbouring blocks runs for years at a time during heavy build phases, and a specific parcel's land-use designation under the Plan determines whether the building it sits on is itself a redevelopment candidate. For any specific parcel, the live City of Burnaby development application map is easy to pull at the start of a conversation.
