Burquitlam Station anchors the southwest corner of Coquitlam and sits at the intersection of three forces that shape its real-estate story: the SkyTrain Evergreen line (2016), the Simon Fraser University commuter pipeline (15 min via bus up Burnaby Mountain), and one of the fastest-densifying transit-oriented development plans in Metro Vancouver.
Craig tracks Burquitlam tightly because the inventory shift here is the most dynamic in the Tri-Cities. Over a dozen new towers have completed since 2018 and several more are mid-build. The station also feeds one of the strongest investor rental segments outside downtown Vancouver.

Every number below is platform-to-platform, drawn from TransLink's published schedules as of June 2026 — not the optimistic estimates you'll see on real-estate listings.
The 5-minute walkshed captures Burquitlam's rapidly-densifying Clarke + Foster corridor — dozens of recent and in-progress towers. The 10-minute walkshed stretches up Burquitlam Plaza, Como Lake Road, and includes Vancouver Golf Club's treeline to the east.
Price bands below reflect current Tri-Cities market data as of August 2026. Call for live listings — the market moves weekly at this station.
| Type | Price range | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Concrete high-rise condos | $520K–$980K | 1-bed (520–680 sqft) $520K–$650K; 2-bed (800–1,050 sqft) $750K–$980K. Highest new-build density of any Tri-Cities station. |
| Townhomes (10-min walk) | Priced from comparable sales | Limited — mostly Como Lake Road and Whiting Way rows built 2010–2018. |
| Detached (15-min walk) | Priced from comparable sales | Burquitlam's older single-family streets plus the Whiting / Como Lake belt. Tear-down-and-rebuild activity is ongoing. |
"Burquitlam is the value station — 36 minutes to downtown, SFU bus loop, newest inventory. The risk is you're buying into a market that still has supply coming. The opportunity is the price discount vs. Lincoln and Coquitlam Central is real."
If you're serious about buying or selling inside this walkshed, a 20-minute strategy call puts the current inventory, the specific building dynamics, and the price you should actually be paying on the table.
Burquitlam, by 5–10% per sqft vs. Lincoln and Coquitlam Central for equivalent product. The trade-off is ongoing construction and a shorter resale track record on most towers.
Yes — the 145 bus up Burnaby Mountain runs every 7 minutes peak and takes about 15 minutes door-to-door to SFU. Many SFU staff and graduate students rent or own here specifically for that reason.
36 minutes Burquitlam platform to Waterfront Station. Shortest from any Tri-Cities station because it's the first stop after the Production Way interchange.
At least 8 towers are either under construction or in pre-sale as of June 2026. Total planned units along the Clarke-Foster corridor exceeds 4,000 over the next 5 years.
Historically yes — SFU plus the broader SkyTrain commuter pool. Gross yields on well-bought 1-beds have run 4.0–4.5%. Watch carefully for saturation as new completions enter the market.
Born in the Tri-Cities. Lived on Burke Mountain for 9+ years. Top 2% Team — Royal LePage nationwide, 2023–2025. Craig knows every tower in every Tri-Cities SkyTrain walkshed at the building level — strata, depreciation, CRF, resale history. Start with the 20-minute fit call or the equity map.

“Craig kept me informed of the local market for a couple of years before I asked him to handle my Coquitlam sale. He laid out the strategy upfront, the listing generated a lot of interest, and we had an acceptable offer in under a month. I was stressed going in — Craig helped me overcome a lot of my anxiety. I’ve already introduced him to my sister, who plans to sell soon.”Fj Young
“Craig was there with us everyday. Guiding us to our next step we were kept informed daily sometimes multiple times a day as to what was happening… Our home sold in only 6 days with multiple offers.”Gerry & Aline Howitson
“After searching for several years, I knew exactly what I was looking for—and Craig delivered. We viewed a handful of properties, and the home he ultimately found was exactly what I had been searching for. I couldn't believe how quickly he nailed it.”Warren Chu
