Frequently Asked Questions
Community
No. Towns at Burke is intentionally designed as a boutique community, creating a more private, close-knit neighbourhood than many larger developments on Burke Mountain.
Towns at Burke is backed by Wesbild, a trusted British Columbia developer that has been creating master-planned communities since 1981. As the original master developer of Burke Mountain, Wesbild has been shaping the community for more than two decades, beginning with the acquisition of approximately 400 acres in 2002 and expanding its vision with an additional 370 acres in 2014.
Working alongside the City of Coquitlam, Wesbild has helped deliver key infrastructure including roads, utilities, parks, and future community amenities. Combined with a portfolio that includes Westwood Plateau and the award-winning Predator Ridge resort community, Wesbild has earned a reputation for creating exceptional places to live that stand the test of time.
Towns at Burke is an intentionally designed boutique community of just 35 homes. The site’s unique triangular shape allows many homes to be angled away from one another instead of lining up in long rows, creating more privacy, natural light, and a greater sense of openness.
Additionally, 27 of the 35 homes are positioned along the community’s perimeter, facing outward rather than into the centre of the development. The result is a more spacious, private living experience that’s uncommon in larger townhouse communities.
With only 35 homes, Burke offers a quieter, more neighbourly atmosphere. Smaller communities often mean less traffic, a greater sense of privacy, and a stronger feeling of connection with your neighbours compared to large multi-phase developments.
