While Metrotown is famous as a shopping and entertainment destination, it is also one of the finest places to live when it comes to tower-style condominium living. Dating back to when Skytrain arrived in December 1985, deluxe 1 & 2 bedroom condo towers and commercial buildings have made for a dramatic Burnaby skyline.

As a destination, Metrotown is one of the true shopping meccas in Canada’s west. With the combined impact of Metropolis, the Crystal Mall, Station Square and Silver City, the Metrotown neighbourhood has over 500 shops and services, all easily accessed by Skytrain, bus and vehicle.
