About Amazing Brentwood

Amazing Brentwood is a shopping and entertainment centre in the Brentwood Park neighbourhood of North Burnaby, at the intersection of Willingdon Avenue and Lougheed Highway. The property traces back to the original Brentwood Town Centre, which opened in 1961 as one of the first major shopping centres in the region. A large-scale redevelopment led by Shape Properties transformed the site into a mixed-use retail and residential neighbourhood, folding shops, dining, and entertainment into the base of a growing collection of residential towers.

The result is a walkable retail district rather than a single enclosed mall. Plazas, open-air walkways, and public gathering spaces connect the stores, making it a comfortable stop whether the plan is a quick errand or a full afternoon out.

Shopping at Amazing Brentwood

The retail mix at Amazing Brentwood covers everyday essentials and destination brands alike, including fashion retailers such as H&M, home and lifestyle shops like HomeSense, electronics and mobile providers, and a London Drugs location for pharmacy and general shopping needs. New tenants continue to move in as later phases of the development complete, so the storefront lineup is worth checking on the official directory before a shopping trip.

Dining Options

Amazing Brentwood has grown into one of the more varied dining stops in Burnaby. Quick-service options include coffee shops and a food court with a rotating mix of vendors covering Japanese, Thai, and bubble tea concepts, alongside casual sit-down spots. For a full-service meal or drinks, Tap & Barrel operates a location on the property with patio seating overlooking the plaza.

Family-Friendly Note

Most of the mall’s shops, food court vendors, and casual restaurants welcome visitors of all ages. A couple of the entertainment venues, covered below, are restricted to adults.

Entertainment: Rec Room and Cineplex

The Rec Room occupies a large footprint at Amazing Brentwood, combining an arcade, bowling, dining, and a bar into one space built for groups. Because it serves alcohol throughout the venue, entry is restricted to guests aged nineteen and older. It has become one of the more popular evening destinations in the development.

A Cineplex VIP Cinemas location is also on site, offering a reserved-seating movie experience that, like The Rec Room, is limited to guests nineteen and older. For a full rundown of what to expect inside the Rec Room, including games and menu highlights, see the dedicated Rec Room guide.

Planning a Family Visit

If the group includes anyone under nineteen, plan around The Rec Room and Cineplex VIP Cinemas. The rest of the property, including shopping, the food court, and outdoor plazas, is open to all ages.

Seasonal Markets and Events

Amazing Brentwood hosts recurring outdoor events on its plazas through the warmer months. A weekly farmers market typically runs on summer Sundays, bringing local produce vendors, prepared food stalls, and live entertainment to Brentwood Boulevard. In the fall, the property has partnered with local cultural organizations to host a Day of the Dead festival featuring live music, dance performances, and a marketplace. Because exact dates shift from year to year, check the official events calendar for what is currently scheduled.

Getting to Amazing Brentwood

Brentwood Town Centre station on the Millennium Line sits directly beside the property, making it one of the more transit-accessible shopping destinations in Metro Vancouver. Several bus routes also stop nearby. Drivers will find an on-site parkade, with signage directing traffic from both Lougheed Highway and Willingdon Avenue.

Amazing Brentwood has evolved from a 1960s shopping centre into one of Burnaby’s most transit-connected gathering spaces, mixing retail, dining, and entertainment around open-air plazas.
