Steven Cirotto stood at the microphone Friday and talked about growing up in the Heights.
The operations manager for the construction company Axiom said he still remembers how special Christmas was as a child at Brentwood Town Centre.
Today, he still lives in North Burnaby and is able to look out his home’s window as see what he’s helping build as part of the Amazing Brentwood megaproject that is transforming the area.
“This is really special,” he told a crowd of staff from Axiom – which is building the residential towers - and Shape - the developers behind the entire project – who were attending a special “topping off” ceremony to mark the final concrete pour.
At a dizzying 614 feet, Tower Two is the tallest building in Burnaby (Tower One is the same height and is nearing completion). They are part of 11 residential buildings that will eventually be built on the site.

Amazing views! The area will look even better with more of the towers and malls coming online. The details of the street will become more captivating, especially at night with the lights from the storefronts and podium facades.
I think it's for rental showroom. Inside of the unit is fully furnished as well. They had a professional come take pictures of it - you can find it on Instagram.
Seems weird to bother with a show home for rental, unless they renting units as
furnished ? Perhaps they have both furnished and unfurnished units .
300 units seems a lot to rent out all at once.
Nice looking unit. Cookie cutter basic though, not premium. Guessing price of the units buy/rent is entirely location driven which makes sense, it is a fairly outstanding location metro wise. Be even better if/when they get direct B-line service between Metrotown and Brentwood.
You're looking in the wrong place. RE developers aren't going to advertise short-term rentals considering how much cities in Metro Van in general don't like it.

Short term rental or service apartment is a cash cow or money tree
