Drive time to Downtown
Living near a school does not mean a place at it. Your child's school comes from the district's catchment boundaries, and those change, so confirm the address with the district before you write an offer.

Common questions
Can I buy a unit in the tallest tower at New Westminster Station?
No. Aqua at Plaza 88 (900 Carnarvon Street, 40 storeys, 398 units, completed 2019) is a purpose-built rental building held by a single owner — there are no strata units to buy. The buyable Plaza 88 towers are Azure 1, Azure 2 and Marinus.
Can I rent out a Downtown condo long-term?
Yes — strata rental-restriction bylaws have been unenforceable since November 24, 2022 anywhere in BC, whatever an older listing or directory line says. Short-term rentals are separate and can still be restricted by bylaw.
What did the attached market do in September 2026?
At the New Westminster community level the condos & townhomes median was $560,000, $587/sqft, 95% sale-to-list and 27 days on market. SnapStats publishes no sub-area medians and no building-level figures.
Which schools serve a Downtown address?
School District 40 catchments are address-based (elementary K–5, middle 6–8, secondary 9–12).
Is a Downtown condo in the floodplain?
The waterfront is — the City's floodplain study puts the Downtown waterfront in Floodplain Zone 3, where many newer buildings sit above the Flood Construction Level while egress and the waterfront path sit below it. Confirm the building's compliance, strata insurance and deductible before subject removal.
What townhomes can I actually buy in Downtown New Westminster?
One standalone complex: Brickstone Walk II, 838 Royal Avenue — 2-storey strata townhomes built 2013 (strata plan EPS1942).
Brickstone Walk at 828 Royal — townhouse or condo?
Both filings exist, unit by unit: some units list as Row / Townhouse, others as Apartment/Condo, inside one 4-storey, elevator-served building built 2012.
Can I rent out my Brickstone Walk II townhouse?
Long-term, yes under provincial law: strata rental-restriction bylaws have been void since Nov 24, 2022 — and this complex's directory line is "rentals allowed" in any case (directory data — confirm on the Form B). Short-term rentals can still be restricted by bylaw.
Is Downtown the same as the Quay?
No — on the board taxonomy they are separate sub-areas: Downtown is the Columbia Street core above the waterfront, and the Quay is the Quayside Drive waterfront pocket. The City's OCP neighbourhoods map, by contrast, names one area "Downtown (including Quayside)".
Is Downtown in the Fraser River floodplain?
The waterfront is — the City's floodplain study puts the Downtown waterfront in Floodplain Zone 3, where many newer buildings have floor space above the Flood Construction Level but egress and the waterfront path sit below it; confirm the specific building's compliance and insurance.

Condo buildings in Downtown New Westminster
Azure 1 — 898 Carnarvon Street
A Plaza 88 tower at New Westminster Station: 204 units in 32 storeys, built 2009, concrete per current listings, with direct SkyTrain access described in listings. One current listing records year built 2008 — the majority/building-directory year, 2009, is used here and the conflict is noted.
Azure 2 — 892 Carnarvon Street
Strata plan BCS3411, a Plaza 88 tower built 2009; an MLS strata sheet for the building records 204 units in the strata, and the building directory records 32 storeys. Current listings record freehold strata title, concrete construction, pets with restrictions at unit level, and amenities including a fitness centre, steam room and party lounge.
Marinus at Plaza 88 — 888 Carnarvon Street
239 units in 36 storeys, built 2009, a concrete tower integrated with the Shops at New West retail (Safeway, Shoppers Drug Mart, Landmark Cinemas in listings) with direct station access. Current listings record pets as cats OK at unit level.

A 32-storey, 204-home tower by Domus Homes, completed 2024, across from New Westminster Station, with a concierge per current listings. The project's published address during development was 813 Carnarvon Street; the civic address in current listings is 823 Carnarvon Street.
Westminster Towers — 828 and 838 Agnes Street and 55 Tenth Street
One strata (plan LMS729) of three connected concrete towers built in 1993 by Ledcor, 298 units in total, sharing a landscaped courtyard above commercial units on Carnarvon Street. Current listings record pets with restrictions at unit level and amenities including a clubhouse and bike room.
Carnarvon Place — 420 Carnarvon Street
A concrete high-rise built in 1990 with an indoor pool, hot tub, sauna and gym, and direct access to Columbia Station described in current listings, which record two pets and rentals allowed at unit level — the rental line is in any case unenforceable as a restriction since November 24, 2022.
Carnarvon Towers — 720 Carnarvon Street
Built in 1996 per the building directory.
News North — 814 Royal Avenue
A concrete mid/high-rise built in 2007 on the Royal Avenue slope, with a caretaker, bike room and exercise centre per current listings.

First & Royal — 82 First Street

Woods House on the site. Current listings record cats OK at unit level.
811 Carnarvon (Reliance Properties)
A pre-application proposal for a 45-storey condominium tower with 454 market residences plus an 8-storey, 120-room hotel at Carnarvon / Agnes / Eighth. It is a proposal, not a building; details are stated by the project page as subject to change.
Columbia Square redevelopment (88 Tenth Street)
A rezoning-stage proposal for six to eight towers and roughly 2,400 housing units (including purpose-built and affordable rental alongside strata condominiums) on the existing shopping-centre site. Proposal only — no strata stock exists here yet.
Streets, schools and transit near Downtown New Westminster condos
- Downtown is New Westminster's historic Columbia Street core and Fraser River waterfront, between the river and the Royal Avenue slope, planned through the Downtown Community Plan (Schedule C of the OCP).
- Boundary with the Quay — read this first.
- Where the condo stock concentrates: two clusters — the Plaza 88 / Carnarvon Street towers wrapped around New Westminster Station (Azure 1, Azure 2, Marinus, Ovation, 618 Carnarvon), and the older Columbia / Carnarvon / Agnes stock west and east of the stations (Westminster Towers, Carnarvon Place, Carnarvon Towers, C2C Lofts, News North, Argyle House, First & Royal).
- SnapStats publishes medians at community level only: the New Westminster condos & townhomes median was $560,000 in September 2026 ($587/sqft, 95% sale-to-list, 27 days on market).
- Transit anchors: New Westminster Station and Columbia Station, both on the Expo Line, are in Downtown; TransLink routes listed for New Westminster Station include 102, 103, 105, 106, 109, 112 and 123. The Province's Transit Oriented Development Areas enable density within 800 metres of the city's five SkyTrain stations, two of which are in Downtown.
- Main roads: Columbia Street, Carnarvon Street, 8th Street, Royal Avenue and McBride Boulevard. Landmarks: the Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia Street (civic and cultural centre, with a library kiosk and holds locker), Westminster Pier Park and the Waterfront Esplanade at the foot of Columbia Street, and École Qayqayt Elementary, 85 Merivale Street.
Good to know about Downtown New Westminster condos
- Three addresses, one strata. Westminster Towers trades under 828 Agnes Street, 838 Agnes Street and 55 Tenth Street, but all three towers are a single strata corporation (plan LMS729, 298 units, built 1993) sharing one courtyard, one budget and one depreciation report — a search under only one address misses two-thirds of the building's listings and history.
- The newest Downtown building carries an 1890 house in its plaza. First & Royal's developer restored the E.M.N. Woods House (built 1890, designed by Samuel Maclure), moved it 65 feet south on the same street, and made it the centre of the project plaza — heritage fabric inside a brand-new wood-frame strata.
- Two Downtown towers have unsettled build years in public sources. 618 Carnarvon's building snapshot says 2022 while unit records say 2023 and some listings say 2024; First & Royal's directory says 2025 while its listings say 2026.
- Ovation's address changed between project and pavement. The Domus Homes project was published at 813 Carnarvon Street; the completed tower's civic address in listings is 823 Carnarvon Street. Searches under only one number miss half the record.
- Downtown has two stations and a provincial density overlay. New Westminster and Columbia stations are both in Downtown, and the Province's Transit Oriented Development Areas enable density within 800 metres of the stations — the frame behind both the 811 Carnarvon proposal and the Columbia Square redevelopment application, neither of which is strata stock today.
- The City runs its own power utility. New Westminster operates its own electrical utility alongside City water and sewer services — a utility-bill line that works differently from BC Hydro territory and surprises buyers arriving from other cities.
The province-wide rules are on one page: BC condo buying rules.

Townhome complexes in Downtown New Westminster
Brickstone Walk II (also written Brickstone Walk 2) — 838 Royal Avenue. Strata
Listings record Sub-Type Townhouse, 2-storey townhomes in a boutique heritage-inspired townhome community, built 2013, with strata fees recorded on current listings; a directory listing record for a unit in the complex gives Complex Name Brickstone Walk 2, Strata No EPS1942, Subarea Downtown NW, built 2013. The building directory publishes the strata restriction line "Pets allowed, rentals allowed" (directory data — confirm on the Form B).
Streets, schools and transit near Downtown New Westminster townhomes
- Downtown is the City of New Westminster's historic Columbia Street core and Fraser River waterfront, between the river and the Royal Avenue slope, planned through the Downtown Community Plan (Schedule C of the OCP).
- Neighbours: Quay / Quayside along the waterfront below Columbia Street, Uptown up the hill at 6th Street / 6th Avenue, Victoria Hill to the east, Brow of the Hill to the west. Roads: Columbia Street, Carnarvon Street, 8th Street and McBride Boulevard; Stewardson Way / Marine Way links west toward Burnaby and to the Queensborough Bridge (Highway 91A).
- Where the townhouse stock concentrates: a single pocket — the Royal Avenue slope at 828–838 Royal Avenue, where the Brickstone Walk pair sits (one counted townhouse complex, one apartment-form building). The townhome-form homes inside the First & Royal project sit inside an apartment project counted in condos.
- New Westminster community-level Condos & Townhomes that month: median sale price $560,000; $587/sqft; sale-to-list 95%; 27 days on market.
- Transit: New Westminster Station and Columbia Station, both on the Expo Line, are in Downtown; TransLink routes listed for New Westminster Station include 102 (Victoria Hill), 103 (Quayside), 105 (Uptown), 106 (Edmonds Station), 109 (Lougheed Station), 112 (Edmonds Station) and 123 (Brentwood Station). The Province's Transit Oriented Development Areas enable density within 800 metres of the city's five SkyTrain stations — two of the five (New Westminster and Columbia) are in Downtown.
- Schools: SD40 (New Westminster) runs a three-tier system — elementary K–5, middle 6–8, secondary 9–12 — and catchments are address-based. Catchments for other Downtown addresses must be checked in the locator.
Local rules that affect townhome buyers in Downtown New Westminster
- Form B diligence (the counted strata complex, and the Brickstone Walk building): Strata Property Act s. 59 — the Form B states the lot's monthly strata fees, amounts owing, approved special levies still payable, the CRF balance and an insurance summary, with the rules, current budget, any Rental Disclosure Statement and the most recent depreciation report attached; provided within 7 days, maximum $35 plus up to 25 cents per page. For a Brickstone Walk (828 Royal) purchase, the Form B is also the document that settles which strata — and which bylaws — a townhouse-filed unit actually sits in. Listing-level rental/pet lines here are listing/directory data, not bylaws — the Form B and registered bylaws govern.
- Fee-simple position: no fee-simple townhouse complex is counted in, so the plain rule is: a fee-simple townhome carries no strata, no Form B and no strata fees — diligence is title, municipal rules and registered covenants/HOA documents only. Downtown's known townhouse stock is strata, so a Downtown townhouse buyer should expect the full Form B track.
- Downtown zoning is in Zoning Bylaw No. 6680, 2001, including Columbia Street historic and high-rise commercial districts. The governing plan is Our City 2041, the Official Community Plan (Bylaw No. 7925, 2017), with the Downtown Community Plan as Schedule C; Downtown is designated a Regional City Centre, and the OCP is under a 2025–2026 update process (OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 8574, 2026). The City's OCP Development Permit Area 1.3 (Townhouses) guidelines govern townhouse design where the DPA applies and state that townhouse tenure may be ownership (strata titled), non-ownership (rental) or co-operative — the DPA is a design frame, not a tenure grant.
- Flood — this sub-area's defining diligence item: the City's floodplain study places the Downtown waterfront in Floodplain Zone 3 — the Fraser River waterfront zone — where many newer buildings have floor space above the Flood Construction Level, but egress and the waterfront path sit below it. The Royal Avenue slope complexes sit above the waterfront, but a Downtown buyer's building-level check is the same: confirm the specific building's flood construction level compliance, strata insurance and deductible position before subject removal. The City publishes flood management information for its low-lying zones.
Good to know about Downtown New Westminster townhomes
- Two Brickstone buildings, two built forms, one street. A portal search for "Brickstone Walk townhouse" returns both — the address, not the name, decides which product you are buying.
- The newest Downtown project carries an 1890 house in its design. First & Royal, at First Street and Royal Avenue, was designed around the restored 1890 E.M.N.
- The tallest "condo tower" at the station is a rental building. Aqua at Plaza 88 (900 Carnarvon Street, 40 storeys, 398 units, completed 2019) is held as a single-owner rental — it anchors the station skyline and never produces a strata resale.
- Downtown has two of the city's five SkyTrain stations — and the TOD circles to match. New Westminster and Columbia stations are both in Downtown, and provincial Transit Oriented Development Areas enable density within 800 metres of all five of the city's stations — what that means for a specific parcel is a City / bylaw check, not a listing-line claim.
- The civic anchors are split up and down the hill. The Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia Street, is Downtown's civic and cultural centre with a library kiosk and holds locker; the main library branch is at 716 6th Avenue in Uptown, and the təməsew̓txʷ Aquatic and Community Centre, 65 East Sixth Avenue — fully opened in May 2024, at 10,644 sq. m. the City's largest capital project to date — is also up the hill. Royal Columbian Hospital, 330 East Columbia Street, is in Sapperton, east by SkyTrain.
- The waterfront path sits below the flood level the buildings were built to. Westminster Pier Park (600 Quayside Drive), Quayside Park and the Waterfront Esplanade run along the Downtown waterfront at the foot of Columbia Street — in Floodplain Zone 3, many newer buildings have floor space above the Flood Construction Level while egress and the waterfront path sit below it.

Lots and land in Downtown New Westminster
Fee-simple lots
- Parcel form: Downtown parcels sit in commercial, multiple-unit and comprehensive development districts under Zoning Bylaw No. 6680, 2001, with zone-specific minimums in the bylaw text.
- Strata vs freehold: A buyer "buying land" downtown is in practice buying a strata unit or underwriting a comprehensive-development parcel through the City process, not purchasing a vacant fee-simple lot. (SnapStats, September 2026))
- Serviced position: New Westminster operates its own electrical utility and City water / sewer services. Servicing for any single parcel is confirmed through the City's subdivision/development process under Bylaw No. 7142, 2007.
- Flood position — the defining fact: the City's floodplain study places the Downtown waterfront in Floodplain Zone 3 — the Fraser River waterfront zone — where many newer buildings have floor space above the Flood Construction Level, but egress and the waterfront path sit below it.
Development proposals
- A pre-application proposal for a 45-storey condominium tower with 454 market residences plus an 8-storey, 120-room hotel at Carnarvon / Agnes / Eighth, including ground-oriented townhomes at the tower base in the proposal material.
- A rezoning-stage proposal for six to eight towers and roughly 2,400 housing units (including purpose-built and affordable rental alongside strata condominiums) on the existing shopping-centre site. Proposal only — no strata stock and no lot offering exists here yet; never counted.

Streets, schools and transit near Downtown New Westminster lots
- Nearby areas: Quay / Quayside along the waterfront below Columbia Street, Uptown up the hill at 6th Street / 6th Avenue, Victoria Hill to the east, Brow of the Hill to the west.
- Main roads: Columbia Street, Carnarvon Street, 8th Street and McBride Boulevard serve Downtown; Stewardson Way / Marine Way links west toward Burnaby and to the Queensborough Bridge (Highway 91A). Transit: New Westminster Station and Columbia Station, both on the Expo Line, are in Downtown; TransLink routes listed for New Westminster Station include 102, 103, 105, 106, 109, 112 and 123.
- Civic anchors: the Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia Street, is Downtown's civic and cultural centre (with a library kiosk and holds locker); Westminster Pier Park, 600 Quayside Drive, Quayside Park and the Waterfront Esplanade boardwalk run along the waterfront at the foot of Columbia Street; Royal Columbian Hospital, 330 East Columbia Street, in Sapperton, is the city's hospital.
- Schools: SD40 runs a three-tier system (elementary K–5, middle 6–8, secondary 9–12) and catchments are address-based.
- Market context, labelled correctly: New Westminster is a SnapStats-covered community, and SnapStats has no land category. September 2026 context only, never land figures: Downtown sub-area detached inventory 0 / sales 0 and "Condos & Townhomes" combined 102 / 15 (15% ratio); New Westminster community detached median $1,365,000 and condos & townhomes median $560,000.
Local rules that affect land buyers in Downtown New Westminster
- Zoning — Zoning Bylaw No. 6680, 2001: Downtown zoning includes Columbia Street historic and high-rise commercial districts.
- OCP — "Our City 2041," Bylaw No. 7925, 2017, with the Downtown Community Plan as Schedule C: Downtown is designated a Regional City Centre, and the OCP is under a 2025–2026 update process (OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 8574, 2026).
- Transit-oriented density as the Province/City state it: the Province's Transit Oriented Development Areas, introduced in 2024, enable density within 800 metres of the city's five SkyTrain stations — two of the five (New Westminster and Columbia) are in Downtown. What that means for a specific parcel is a City / bylaw check, not a listing-line claim.
- Subdivision + servicing requirements — Bylaw No. 7142, 2007: subdivision is regulated by the Subdivision and Development Control Bylaw No. 7142, 2007, which requires Approving Officer approval and ensures new lots are adequately serviced and meet the Zoning Bylaw's minimum lot size and frontage requirements, through the City's pre-application / application / Works & Services Agreement process. Parcel-level standards are confirmed through that process.
- Flood diligence — Floodplain Zone 3: confirm the specific building's or parcel's flood construction level compliance, insurance and deductible position before subject removal; the City publishes flood management information for its low-lying zones, including the Downtown waterfront.
- If a parcel is in the ALR: subdivision within the ALR requires ALC approval; ALR residences cannot be stratified. On ALR land the main house can be up to 500 m², a suite is allowed only inside it, and an extra residence can be up to 90 m² (186 m² on parcels over 40 ha). For farm class, BC Assessment looks for farm income of $10,000 a year on under 0.8 ha, $2,500 on 0.8 to 4 ha, and $2,500 plus 5% of the value of land over 4 ha; applications are due by October 31. Check the parcel on ALC mapping before applying any of this.
Good to know about Downtown New Westminster lots
- The OCP is mid-update: Our City 2041 (Bylaw No. 7925, 2017) governs today, but an OCP update process runs through 2025–2026 (OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 8574, 2026) — a long-hold land underwriting should be checked against the update, not only the 2017 plan.
- Two of the city's five SkyTrain stations are in this one sub-area: New Westminster and Columbia stations are both in Downtown, out of the city's five (22nd Street, New Westminster, Columbia, Sapperton, Braid) — the TOD-area map, not the station count alone, decides what a parcel can claim.
The province-wide rules are on one page: BC land buying rules.
