Retail Market Overview for Burnaby Buyers

Retail is the most diverse category we cover — boutiques, hardware, garden centres, sporting goods, gift shops, pet stores. Each has its own inventory dynamics, supplier relationships, and seasonality.

The Burnaby Advantage

Burnaby is the second-largest city in Metro Vancouver and one of the strongest SMB acquisition markets in BC. Lower lease costs than Vancouver, strong commercial density (Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed Town Centre, Edmonds), and excellent residential density support a wide range of acquisition targets.

BC retail is strong in Granville Island, Kerrisdale, South Granville, Robson, Steveston (Richmond), Cook Street Village (Victoria), Bernard Avenue (Kelowna), and Whyte Avenue–style corridors throughout the province.
