Its timetable runs from Phibbs Exchange via Hastings Street, Willingdon Avenue (Brentwood Station) and Central Boulevard to Metrotown Station.

Phase 1 is complete and Phase 2 design feedback is scheduled for late 2026, so no crossing is built yet.

Willingdon Heights by home type

Willingdon Heights: streets and boundaries

  • Willingdon Heights is the residential grid around Willingdon Avenue south of Hastings Street, and Heritage Burnaby describes it as a primarily residential commuter neighbourhood shaped by its closeness to the Trans-Canada Highway, Lougheed Highway and Hastings Street.
  • Willingdon Heights Park, at 1491 Carleton Avenue, is the in-area park, and its outdoor fitness circuit is one of the few City-listed facilities inside the grid itself.
  • Kitchener Elementary, at 1351 Gilmore Avenue, serves the area's west side; Burnaby North Secondary, at 751 Hammarskjold Drive, is the secondary school northeast of the grid.
  • The Brentwood Town Centre lands at the northeast corner of Lougheed Highway and Willingdon Avenue form the area's southern commercial edge.

Willingdon Heights: the housing stock

  • The stock is detached houses on the Carleton Avenue, Gilmore Avenue and Parker Street grid, with the Brentwood towers rising at the Lougheed Highway edge — two housing worlds on one street pattern. Heritage Burnaby's record frames the area as primarily residential and commuter-oriented.
  • Confederation Park, a short way northwest, is the area's full-service park: 3 tennis courts, 10 pickleball courts and the covered Sohen Gill Sports Box.

Willingdon Heights: rules that affect buyers

  • Lots near Brentwood Town Centre Station sit in a Frequent Transit Network Area pattern: the City states that within those areas in the R1 Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing (SSMUH) District, up to 6 dwelling units may be built on lots of 281 square metres or more, and off-street parking is optional.
  • The Brentwood Town Centre Development Plan (1996) is the City's community plan for the town centre at this area's south edge, and Council authorised a consultation in January 2024 to amend it and the Brentwood Site Conceptual Master Plan (adopted 2013).
  • Where the 1996 plan and the Burnaby 2050 Official Community Plan (OCP) disagree, the OCP's land-use map now takes precedence — the City's community plans page states this applies city-wide since the OCP's adoption on December 9, 2025.

Willingdon Heights: local details a buyer would not know

  • Hats Off Day closes this area's main street: the City's events material describes the street party hosted by Burnaby Heights merchants on Hastings Street, with the City's own environment booth at Carleton Avenue and Hastings Street.
  • Willingdon Heights Park's fitness circuit is genuinely old equipment kept in service — the City calls the stations "vintage" bodyweight stations, unlike the new circuits in Central Park.
  • A new Confederation Park Community Centre is in planning northwest of the area: the City describes it as a new centre within Confederation Park to meet growing recreation needs in northwest Burnaby, with the project page updated October 27, 2026.
  • The R2 extension brought eight new bus stops and Expo and Millennium Line connections to the Willingdon corridor, per TransLink's launch summary.

Willingdon Heights: development and new projects

  • Brentwood Town Centre Plan Amendments and Brentwood Site Conceptual Master Plan amendments, Willingdon Avenue at Lougheed Highway, City of Burnaby: proposed changes add the City's Rental Use Zoning Policy (2020) housing, a publicly accessible green space and child care on the Brentwood site, and redesignate the Willingdon-and-Lougheed parcel from commercial to mixed-use residential and commercial. Status: consultation authorised January 29, 2024, open house held April 2, 2024, amendments in progress (as of November 3, 2026).
  • Brentwood Community Centre, Brentwood Town Centre, City of Burnaby. Status: listed as "Planned" on the City's projects page (as of November 3, 2026).
  • Brentwood pedestrian and cyclist railway overpass, five candidate streets including Willingdon Avenue, City of Burnaby. Status: Phase 1 feasibility complete; Phase 2 draft designs scheduled for late 2026 (as of November 3, 2026).
  • The Amazing Brentwood towers by SHAPE at 4567 Lougheed Highway sit in the Brentwood Town Centre, south of the railway — named here once; the full project entry belongs to the Brentwood pages, not this residential grid.

Willingdon Heights: costs and taxes

  • The Metro Vancouver Regional District portion of a 2026 Burnaby residential tax bill is $0.05440 per $1,000 of taxable value, under Schedule 2 of the Burnaby Rates Bylaw 2026, Bylaw No. 14814.
  • A mixed-use or storefront property on Hastings Street can also be charged the Hastings Business Improvement Area local service tax named in the same rates bylaw — a cost a purely residential Willingdon Heights house does not carry.

Willingdon Heights: getting around

  • The R2 Marine–Willingdon RapidBus is now the corridor service: Park Royal to Metrotown Station via Phibbs Exchange, Hastings Street and Willingdon Avenue, 5 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily since September 7, 2026.
  • TransLink's April 2026 announcement adds that the R2 serves Burnaby Heights, BCIT's (British Columbia Institute of Technology) Burnaby campus, Brentwood Town Centre and Metrotown, and that construction ran through summer 2026.
  • The 130 remains the local-stop bus on Willingdon Avenue, stopping at Brentwood Station on the Millennium Line between Kootenay Loop and Metrotown Station.

Willingdon Heights: risks and due diligence

  • The active railway south of the grid is the named constraint: it is why the City is studying overpasses, and a buyer on the streets nearest it (Parker Street, Georgia Street) should expect train noise that no City page quantifies — the overpass study page discusses crossings, not noise levels for individual lots.
  • Plan-change risk is live here: the Brentwood plan amendments could redesignate the Willingdon-and-Lougheed parcel to mixed-use residential and commercial, changing what can be built at the area's south edge — check the current plan status before pricing a lot on development potential.
  • Still Creek runs along the area's southeast near Brentwood Station; lots toward Still Creek Drive should be screened on the City's Riparian Management Areas layer for a Streamside Protection and Enhancement Area before planning an addition.
