Imagine a Master Planned community that will be designed to honour and protect the beauty that surrounds it, with the natural landscape informing the layout of the pedestrian-oriented neighbourhoods and inspiring the architecture of the homes. The City of Coquitlam, as the primary landowner and master land developer, is in it for the long run, invested in making Burke Mountain one of the most desirable communities in Metro Vancouver that people want to call home.
The Burke Mountain Village community is anticipated to include approximately 2,000-plus residential dwellings and 120,000-square-feet of retail/commercial space including a grocery store, plus a large public plaza and Village Greenway within its 39 acres.
A new major recreation complex and recreation centre – “Northeast Community Centre” – and 3.6-acre park are there for all to enjoy. There are two active and two planned elementary schools, plus one planned middle/secondary school within 3 kms of Burke Mountain Village.
A destination that invigorates the social life of the mountainside community by weaving shopping, recreation, urban living and public gathering spaces together, Burke Mountain Village will be the social heart of Burke Mountain. At the centre of it all will be Princeton Plaza—the prime gathering space, offering a venue for everyday enjoyment as well as special events.
Accessible multi-use paths will bring people from all neighbourhoods and areas of Burke Mountain to the village centre. The connecting parks and trails, converging at Burke Mountain Village, will allow residents and visitors to access and enjoy all the village amenities by bike or foot without having to hop in a vehicle. Compact in size, yet rich in experience to encourage walking or cycling, the village is planned to take advantage of the mountainside, making getting around accessible and enjoyable.
The design of Burke Mountain Village is reflective of the mountainside and adapted to the slope, while emphasizing movement along the contour lines for major routes. It will draw inspiration from mountainside life, finding ways to leverage the benefits of the natural environment, and capitalizing on awe-inspiring views and places of interest. The urban heart of the village, with its vibrant storefronts, outdoor displays, and inviting cafes with sun-kissed patios, will beckon your company. Well-designed landscape features such as public art, water features, a comprehensive network of pathways, and a public plaza will captivate you, creating a sense of place to gather and discover.
Burke Mountain Village is more than just shopping. The City envisions a place that will support community living by offering residents and visitors engaging places to socialize and gather, be entertained, live and work. It will eventually be a place where you’ll grab a cup of coffee after the kids’ soccer practice. Perhaps enjoy a local craft beer or glass of wine at the end of the day. The retail and residential design combined with well-programmed community amenities, recreation, culture and public art will create engaging spaces for everyone, for everyday life or special events.
As a prospective resident, you have the foresight to recognize an anticipated and incomparable space of rewarding possibilities for you and your family to grow. When it comes to places at the forefront of integration with the natural environment, urban convenience, and inclusiveness, the Master Plan for Burke Mountain Village will meet your every need and check all the boxes on your wish list.
