Brentwood Town Centre, often called Brentwood Mall, is a large shopping mall in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. It is a popular spot for shopping, dining, and fun activities. You can find it in the Brentwood area of North Burnaby, close to Vancouver.

A Look Back: How Brentwood Started

Brentwood Town Centre first opened its doors in August 1961. Back then, it was known as Brentwood Mall. It started as a mix of outdoor shops and an indoor mall. Later, in the 1980s, a second floor was added to the indoor part.

The Amazing Brentwood Project

Since 2014, Brentwood Town Centre has been undergoing a huge makeover. This big project is called "The Amazing Brentwood." The goal is to create a whole new neighborhood. When it's finished, it will have:

  • Lots of new shops and restaurants.
  • Office spaces for businesses.
  • Many tall residential buildings where people can live.

This project is turning the mall into a modern, lively community hub.

Getting There: Transportation

It's super easy to get to Brentwood Town Centre! The mall is directly connected to the Brentwood Town Centre station. This station is part of the Millennium Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain system. This means you can ride the SkyTrain right to the mall's doorstep.
