In the Sky: The Amenity Experience at Brentwood Block

In the Sky: The Amenity Experience at Brentwood Block

In Burnaby’s rapidly evolving skyline, Brentwood Block is poised to become a landmark of both scale and sophistication. This 7.9-acre masterplanned community by Grosvenor merges residential, commercial, and green spaces with a seamlessness rarely seen in urban design. It is more than a collection of towers; it is a vision of elevated city living, conceived with a deep respect for sustainability and the human experience.

The architectural vision is led by Perkins&Will, with structural expertise by the acclaimed engineers at Fast + Epp. Together, they have crafted a vertical neighbourhood of striking clarity glass and concrete forms rising with slender elegance, surrounded by parks, courtyards, and plazas designed for connection and ease of movement. The development’s design ethos is modern yet timeless: an embrace of clean lines, natural light, and enduring materials that create spaces as functional as they are beautiful.

A Spa Above the Clouds

Wellness is central to Brentwood Block’s ethos. The rooftop spa, bathed in natural sunlight, offers a suite of rejuvenating experiences: a sunset sauna, steam room, and contrast therapy through hot-and-cold showers. Reclining on heated stone loungers, residents find not just comfort but a vantage point—a quiet communion with the horizon.

Movement, Framed by Views

The rooftop fitness centre, outfitted by Technogym, is encased in floor-to-ceiling glass, offering a workout backdrop of ever-changing skies. Beside it, the dedicated workout studio accommodates everything from high-intensity sessions to meditative practices. Integrated digital screens and app connectivity ensure a modern, personalized training environment.

Spaces for Gathering

For moments of conviviality, Brentwood Block offers an array of beautifully conceived social spaces. The Rooftop Dining Terrace sets the stage for everything from coffee at sunrise to candlelit dinners under the stars. Inside, the Private Dining Room complete with a chef’s kitchen feels designed for intimate soirées or celebrations that deserve a memorable setting.

A viewing lounge, with its expansive seating and cinematic screen, becomes the natural gathering place for championship finals, movie nights, or quiet evenings with friends.

Living Beyond the Lobby

Upon arrival, residents are greeted by the Grand Lobby & Lounge, a double-height space anchored by timeless finishes and supported by 24/7 concierge service. There’s a second, bike- and pet-friendly entrance, designed with the same sense of care complete with a pet-wash station and dedicated bike elevator.

The 4th-floor podium park is a sanctuary of greenery, with a lawn, BBQ area, and fenced pet run that transforms urban living into something distinctly warm and communal. It’s the rare space where neighbours might gather over lawn games or summer picnics, creating an atmosphere of genuine community.

Designed for Modern Life

What sets Brentwood Block apart is the way these amenities are not an afterthought, but rather an extension of its architectural narrative. Over 24,500 square feet of curated indoor and outdoor spaces balance luxury with functionality. Each area feels deliberate, layered, and designed to enhance both the physical and emotional dimensions of urban living.

As with the best design, the details tell the story: the quiet drama of floor-to-ceiling glass, the rich textures of the interiors, the seamless flow from the private residences to the shared penthouse in the sky.

A Vision of Elevated Urban Living

Brentwood Block is more than a place to live; it is a collection of moments. A place where wellness, work, and play converge within a singular architectural vision. It feels as much like an exclusive members’ club as it does a residential address one that not only observes the skyline but also reshapes the way its residents inhabit it.
