Brentwood isn't very cohesive but it should get better over the years as they figure things out.

I totally agree that AMB just need to redefine it goal , no longer viable to be a high end mall, but should be very desirable as a middle class neighborhood. Rather doubt rich people looking for high end goods will come to Brentwood shopping, they would much rather go to Metrotown for far better choices, or Oakridge eventually. But AMB can still reinvent itself by including services and amenities that a middleclass master planned community needs, such as a good grocery anchor, medical -physio- massage clinic, may be even a Walmart, a decent bakery which has decent birthday cakes would help too, not the 5 coffee shops which only offer snacks. BTW I read somewhere Shape will build a 56 storey rental tower in T7 which I think is a deadly mistake because it totally changes the landscape of the community, a rental tower should be in the periphery of this mega project , not smack in the middle of prime space like a sore thumb. Serious buying who want to make Brentwood their home should occupy prime space. A prime location like Brentwood will not fail with sensible forward thinking planning, quite contrary to Tawassen Mill who was doomed to fail from the start.
