New Burke Mountain townhouse site set for release

Coquitlam has brought to market another townhouse site on beautiful Burke Mountain: 2.6 hectares (6.4 acres) in size, walking distance to the future Burke Mountain Village, fully-serviced and pre-zoned, and adjacent to Fremont Park.

The City – the site owner – has recently released a Request for Offers (RFO) for the greenfield Partington Creek townhouse site, located in the growing hillside community in Northeast Coquitlam. Real estate professionals and prospective buyers are invited to contact the City Lands division or visit www.coquitlam.ca/landsales for more information about the upcoming RFO.  

“This is a great opportunity for a residential developer to bring their vision to this exciting and unique growth area in Metro Vancouver,” said Coquitlam’s Manager of Land Development Curtis Scott. “Burke Mountain offers the kind of lifestyle many people are looking for, whether they are raising a family, professionals or getting ready to retire. With access to a variety of amenities, including parks, natural trails, schools, and the future Burke Mountain Village, I expect strong interest in this development parcel.”

What Burke Mountain has to offer

Currently home to about 15,000 residents, Burke Mountain is already in high demand for its proximity to urban services, sweeping views, extensive trail network and natural setting. 

Although much of the earlier development was oriented toward single-family housing, plans are moving ahead with townhomes and – in the future Burke Mountain Village – apartments to provide a variety of housing options to Burke Mountain’s future population of 50,000-plus at full buildout.
