Brentwood Town Centre—commonly referred to simply as Brentwood—is an elevated stop on Metro Vancouver's Millennium Line SkyTrain rapid transit network. Positioned above Lougheed Highway just east of Willingdon Avenue in Burnaby, British Columbia, it sits adjacent to the the Amazing Brentwood shopping complex.
Structure and design
Distinct within the system, Brentwood Town Centre is the sole station constructed entirely on a roadway median. Its design serves a dual purpose as a pedestrian overpass spanning Lougheed Highway, with platforms elevated above and a publicly accessible mezzanine level beneath. This architectural approach is shared only by Gilmore and Lougheed Town Centre stations, both also on the Millennium Line.
The station features a striking curved form crafted from wood and steel, complemented by expansive glass walls that illuminate the structure at night. The architectural firm Perkins and Will Canada was honored with the Governor General's Medal in Architecture in 2002 for this innovative design.
In response to increasing local population demands, a $33 million upgrade initiative commenced in 2020 to enhance capacity and accessibility. Key elements of this project involved reconstructing the south entrance with enclosed glass stairwells and installing an additional elevator. Construction activities began in June 2022; the refurbished south entrance became operational on January 8, 2024, with two new escalators scheduled to open on March 24, 2025.
Entrances
North entrance: Access between the station concourse and the north side of Lougheed Highway is provided via stairs and an elevator. A bus stop located immediately outside facilitates seamless SkyTrain transfers without requiring use of the bus loop.
North Entrance Mall/Bus Loop Access: A covered ramp and walkway connect the station concourse to both the bus loop and The Amazing Brentwood shopping centre at the northern end.
South entrance: Stairs and an elevator link the concourse to Lougheed Highway’s south side, offering alternative access to several bus routes serving this station.
Transit connections
Brentwood Town Centre functions as a major regional transit hub, accommodating bus services that link north Burnaby, Metrotown, North Vancouver, and New Westminster, including routes providing access to the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT).
