Culmena, Burke Mountain: 107 Scandinavian-Inspired Townhomes by the Future Village
A larger Tangerine Developments collection with a distinct Scandinavian design language — and a location near where the Burke Mountain Village is planned.
Culmena, by Tangerine Developments, is a 107-townhome, 3–4 bedroom Scandinavian-inspired collection in 21 buildings at 1292 Rosenburg Way, near the future Burke Mountain Village. It’s selling now, with move-in-ready homes on the market (checked October 1, 2026). Here’s the resident’s read on the scale, the look and the location.

| Status | Selling now, move-in-ready homes (October 2026) |
| Style | Scandinavian-inspired |

The village-proximity bet
Culmena’s biggest structural advantage is location: close to the planned Burke Mountain Village, where the City plans a community centre, a park and about 120,000 sq ft of shops including a grocery store. Being close to a future village is hard to price today, and nobody can promise what it will add to value, so weigh it as a lifestyle choice first. The honest caveat is that the village is still coming: the City broke ground on the community centre and Burke Village Park on May 12, 2026, and expects both to open in 2029.
Scandinavian design, at scale
Culmena leans into a Scandinavian-inspired design language — clean, light, functional — which gives it a clearer identity than a lot of interchangeable townhome product. At 107 homes across 3- and 4-bedroom plans, it’s a larger community, which cuts both ways: a clubhouse, play area and shared outdoor space on one hand, more neighbours and more units trading on the other. The upside of a larger community on resale is a deeper set of comparables, which makes pricing more legible.
Who it fits
Culmena suits buyers who want family-sized townhome space with a distinct modern look, who value being close to the future village core, and who are comfortable buying into the mountain’s next chapter rather than its finished one. As always, the specific plan and exposure matter — ask which floorplan you’re standing in.
Living at Culmena: location and daily routine
Culmena is at 1292 Rosenburg Way on Burke Mountain: 107 townhomes in 21 three-storey wood-frame buildings, with a clubhouse, an exercise centre and a playground on site. Tangerine finished the first homes in 2025, so this is a young community where many owners have only just moved in.
The Village next door. The planned Burke Mountain Village is the reason most buyers look here. The City of Coquitlam broke ground on the community centre and Burke Village Park on May 12, 2026, and expects both to open in 2029. The centre is planned with a six-lane lap pool, a leisure pool with a lazy river, a double gym, a fitness centre and a library branch. The park will have a splash pad and an accessible path linking the Village to the surrounding neighbourhood. About 120,000 sq ft of retail, including a grocery store, is part of the wider plan, but without a published opening date. For now, groceries and most errands mean driving down the mountain.
Outdoors. The developer points to Burke Mountain's hiking trails and Minnekhada Regional Park, a Metro Vancouver regional park, as nearby.
Getting to work. REW's development page puts Culmena about a 10-minute drive from a West Coast Express station and about 15 minutes from Coquitlam Central. TransLink route 191 runs between Burke Mountain's Princeton Avenue area and Coquitlam Central Station. Check the trip planner from Rosenburg Way for the nearest stop.
Schools. SD43 catchments are drawn by address, and new neighbourhoods are where they change most. Check 1292 Rosenburg Way in the SD43 School Locator before you decide.
Buying at Culmena now: what I check
At Culmena you can usually choose between a move-in-ready home from Tangerine and, increasingly, a resale from an early owner. Here is what I look at for each.
- Developer sale or resale. A home bought new from Tangerine carries GST; a qualifying first-time buyer may be able to claim the federal first-time home buyers' GST rebate. A resale generally doesn't carry GST, but the seller may have added upgrades you are paying for.
- Strata documents. For a developer sale, the disclosure statement and interim budget. For a resale, the Form B (which now includes an insurance summary), the minutes and the first annual budget, to see how fees have moved since owners took over.
- Depreciation report. A young strata may not have one yet. I ask when it is due, since stratas created from July 2024 must get one within two years of their first annual general meeting.
- Warranty. BC's 2-5-10 warranty covers 2 years of materials and labour, 5 years of building envelope and 10 years of structure, and stays with the home on resale. I check the exact dates on BC Housing's New Homes Registry.
- Bylaws. Since November 24, 2022, a BC strata cannot restrict long-term rentals; the only age bylaw allowed is 55+. A strata can still restrict or ban short-term rentals, so read the bylaws if that matters to you.
- Plan and exposure. Plans range from about 1,141 to 1,840 sq ft across 3- and 4-bedroom layouts. Which building you are in decides your outlook, sun and how close you are to the Village construction.
- Parking. Two garage spaces per home per MLS® records; I confirm the layout and EV charger on site.

Culmena: your questions, answered
Can I move into a Culmena home right away?
Some homes, yes. As of October 1, 2026, Tangerine's unsold homes at 1292 Rosenburg Way were listed on MLS® as move-in ready, with MLS® records showing a 2025 build year. Which homes are left changes week to week, so check current listings or ask Tangerine's sales office. Because these are new homes sold by the developer, GST applies, and you should ask for the disclosure statement and warranty documents.
What shared amenities does Culmena have?
MLS® listings for Culmena describe a clubhouse, an exercise centre and a playground, and REW's development page lists a BBQ area, a children's play space and a dog area. These are strata common property, so owners share the cost of running and insuring them through strata fees. Before you buy, ask for the strata's budget so you can see what the amenities cost to run.
Do Culmena townhomes have air conditioning?
The developer's MLS® listings describe a high-efficiency furnace with air conditioning included. That is the developer's description, so confirm it for the specific home: look for the outdoor unit, ask for the model and service manual, and check who maintains it. On a south- or west-facing upper floor, cooling makes a real difference in July and August.
Why are strata fees low in a brand-new complex like Culmena?
In the first year, fees are set from the developer's 12-month interim budget, which has to be given to buyers before they sign. Once owners hold the first annual general meeting, they set their own budget, and fees can change. A strata created between July 1, 2024 and July 1, 2027 must also get a depreciation report within two years of that first meeting. I'd budget for fees to move once owners are in charge.
Is common property at Culmena under the same warranty clock as my home?
No. Under BC's 2-5-10 system, your home's coverage starts at its first occupancy or title transfer, whichever is first. Coverage on common property, such as roofs, siding and the clubhouse, starts when the first home in the strata is occupied or transferred. Culmena's first homes were finished in 2025, so a buyer moving in now has a shorter common-property clock than unit clock. Ask Tangerine for both policies.
How is parking set up at Culmena?
MLS® listings show two parking spaces in an attached garage, and Tangerine's marketing describes double-wide two-car garages with Level 2 EV charging in each home. Confirm the layout for the specific home, measure it if you drive a larger vehicle, and check the strata plan for any extra stalls. Visitor parking in townhome complexes fills up fast, so ask how it is managed.
How close is Culmena to the future Burke Mountain Village?
Culmena, at 1292 Rosenburg Way, is near the planned Burke Mountain Village; I'd walk the route yourself rather than rely on a marketing time. The City broke ground on the Village community centre and Burke Village Park on May 12, 2026, with both expected to open in 2029.

“We had a fantastic experience working with Craig on the purchase of our first home in Coquitlam. He was incredibly friendly and responsive, always quick to answer our messages and questions. Throughout the process, he took the time to walk us through each step so my partner and I always knew exactly what was going on and what to expect next. Craig also gave us honest, helpful opinions on properties we were considering, which really helped guide us toward a place we love. On top of that, he connected us with a great broker and lawyer, making the whole process feel seamless. We're so happy in our new home and couldn't have done it without him. Highly recommend Craig to anyone buying a home!”Rohit & Georgie
