Metro Vancouver Housing is preparing to develop a new affordable, family-oriented rental housing project at its property at 7730 6th Street in Burnaby. The project will redevelop 30 aging townhouses to create over 170 homes along with an in-home daycare. Homes will include a mix of sizes, with a focus on larger family units, and accessible, age-friendly design to support people of all ages and abilities.
Centrally located in the heart of Burnaby’s 6th Street Area, the site is ideal for families with close access to transit as well as a wide range of shops and services, including essentials like groceries and healthcare. Directly adjacent to Eastburn Park, residents will have convenient access to green space as well as many other neighbourhood parks, sports fields, a stadium track, arena, and community centre. The site is also near numerous elementary and secondary schools, daycare, post-secondary, and cultural venues such as Massey Theatre.
The site was formerly called “Eastburn Square.” It was renamed in February 2023 after consultation and engagement with the community.
The location has a historic relationship to the Central Park Line, the first interurban electric streetcar system in the region. “The Connection” honours the relationship to transportation innovation in this area of East Burnaby.
