The Lifestyle Appeal of Brentwood

Brentwood is one of Burnaby’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, offering a vibrant mix of convenience, connectivity, and lifestyle amenities, and capitalizes on this. Residents enjoy immediate access to shopping, dining, and entertainment, including Brentwood Town Centre and nearby transit hubs for seamless commuting. The area is also rich in green spaces and recreational opportunities, providing a balanced urban-suburban lifestyle. With ongoing development and strong demand for modern residences, Brentwood presents both a smart home purchase and a compelling long-term investment in Burnaby’s thriving real estate market.

Architectural Excellence and Community Presence

At the heart of Étoile Gold’s visual identity is its arched filigree lattice, which frames the grand entrance and anchors the tower’s distinctive presence. Rising above the central Brentwood neighbourhood, the development is strategically positioned near vibrant urban amenities while remaining removed from the bustle, offering residents a balanced lifestyle that blends city convenience with tranquillity.

The tower includes one, two, and three-bedroom suites ranging from 422 to 1,318 sq ft, as well as three-level townhome residences. Constructed with a solid concrete structure and high-performance thermal envelope, the building ensures durability, energy efficiency, and long-term comfort. Access is controlled with fob-secured entries to the lobby, parkade, and individual floors, emphasizing security and privacy.
