The Burquitlam Capital, 691 North Road, Coquitlam

The Burquitlam Capital sits on the corner of North Road and Clarke Road, so you will see it listed under both 691 North Road and 509 Clarke Road. Magusta Development finished it in 2019. At 23 storeys and 188 homes it is a noticeably smaller building than the towers that went up around it afterwards.

In short

What is The Burquitlam Capital at 691 North Road like?

The Burquitlam Capital is the quieter middle option in Burquitlam: 188 homes over 23 storeys, finished in 2019, about a three minute walk from Burquitlam station. It has modest amenities rather than a pool and a concierge, which usually means the lowest monthly fee of the three towers buyers compare here. If you want concrete near the station without paying to maintain someone else’s amenity list, this is normally where the numbers land best.

  • The building: 188 homes, 23 storeys, completed 2019.
  • Transit: About a three minute walk to Burquitlam station on the Millennium Line.
  • Walkability: Walk Score 86, rated very walkable, the highest of the Burquitlam buildings I get asked about.
  • Watch for: Parking is assigned rather than owned in most Burquitlam buildings, so confirm the stall in writing before you offer.

A smaller strata, and why that shows up in your fees

One hundred and eighty-eight homes is a modest strata by Burquitlam standards. That has two consequences worth understanding before you buy.

Fewer owners share every cost, so a major repair spreads across a smaller group and a special levy lands harder per household. On the other hand there is less to maintain, the amenity package is restrained, and monthly fees here tend to be gentler than in a tower stacked with facilities.

Ask for the contingency reserve fund balance. On a building this size that number tells you a lot.

Six years in

A 2019 building is past the settling-in period and past the two-year portion of its warranty, with the envelope coverage running out around now. That makes this the right moment to read the depreciation report properly rather than skim it.

I would want to see what the report says about the roof, the windows and the parkade membrane, and whether council has been putting money aside or deferring.

What you get in the building

A rooftop garden with seating and a barbecue area, a gym, a lounge room and EV chargers. It is a sensible set rather than a showpiece, which suits the size of the building.

The corner it sits on

North Road and Clarke is one of the busiest intersections in the area, and that is the honest trade-off here. In exchange you are a short walk from Burquitlam station, a few minutes from Lougheed Town Centre, and straight onto North Road for Burnaby.

Which side of the building your unit faces matters more here than in most buildings. Go and listen before you decide.

How it compares with the newer towers next to it

Three buildings sit within a couple of blocks of each other here, and buyers usually end up choosing between them, so here is the honest comparison.

Soco One is newer, finished in 2024, with a long amenity list and full warranty coverage. You pay for both in the purchase price and in the monthly fee. Clarke & Como is taller and sits right at the station, with the largest amenity package of the three and an active strata claim over construction defects.

The Burquitlam Capital is the quiet middle option: smaller, six years old, modest amenities, usually the lowest fee of the three. If you want a concrete home near the station without paying for a pool or a concierge, this is normally where the numbers land best.

What I check on the parking and storage

In buildings this size, parking is often the thing that decides between two otherwise identical units. Stalls are assigned rather than owned outright in most Burquitlam buildings, so confirm what comes with the unit in writing rather than relying on the listing.

If you have two cars, ask early whether a second stall can be rented from the strata and what the waiting list looks like. On a 188-home building there is not much slack.

What is on your doorstep

This is the most walkable of the Burquitlam buildings I get asked about, and it is not close.

  • SkyTrain: about a three minute walk to Burquitlam station on the Millennium Line.
  • Walk Score: 86, which Walk Score rates very walkable. Most day to day errands here genuinely do not need a car.
  • Shopping: Lougheed Town Centre is one SkyTrain stop away rather than walking distance, which is the distinction some listings blur. Everyday shops and restaurants along North Road are on foot.
  • Schools: Cameron, Roy Stibbs and Holy Cross for elementary. Burnaby Mountain, Dr. Charles Best and Carver Christian for secondary.
  • Parks: Burquitlam Park and Stoney Creek Park are both close.
  • Driving: North Road takes you straight into Burnaby, and you are a few minutes from Highway 1 and a straightforward run up to SFU.
