Gardena

Overview

Gardena brings Intracorp’s four-decade legacy of “Building the Extraordinary” to the growing Oakdale district of Burquitlam. The masterplan pairs two design-driven towers with future mid-rise and townhome buildings, all woven together by landscaped greens, a hidden secret garden and 25,000 ft² of indoor-outdoor amenity space. Lotus, the first release, became Coquitlam’s fastest-selling project; Magnolia quickly followed as phase two, confirming demand for thoughtfully designed concrete homes near rapid transit.

Location & Neighbourhood

Set a five-minute walk from Burquitlam SkyTrain station, Gardena places everyday essentials within easy reach while still feeling tucked into an established residential pocket. Residents can shop Lougheed Town Centre or sip craft beer in Port Moody’s Brewery Row within minutes, hike Burnaby Mountain trails, or cycle the planned Oakdale Greenway that will thread through the community. Nearby schools, SFU’s main campus and quick B-Line bus links make the address attractive to families, students and commuters alike.

Homes & Floorplans

The collection ranges from efficient studios to expansive three-bed residences plus family-oriented townhomes. Ceilings of 8’8″, Low-E windows, roller shades and HRV fresh-air systems keep interiors bright and comfortable year-round. Kitchens feature flat-panel cabinetry, engineered-stone counters and Bosch gas cooktops (30″ in larger plans); stacked laundry, microwave islands and integrated recycling are standard. Spa-like ensuites offer frameless showers, double-vanities in many plans and washlet-ready toilets. All homes include EV-ready parking and a storage locker.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Across the community residents enjoy more than 50 curated ‘rituals’ for fitness, relaxation and connection—from a CrossFit studio with battle ropes to an indoor spa with two saunas and steam, plus an outdoor Scandinavian-style barrel sauna and cold-rainfall shower. Co-working pods, a podcast room and study lounges support hybrid work, while dog runs, movie-ready rooftops and multiple social kitchens foster community. Magnolia adds a guest suite, community garden and bike workshop to the mix; every phase is linked by lit pathways and lush planting

Key Dates & Deposit

Magnolia is targeted for completion at the end of 2026, with Lotus following in spring 2027. An extended 10% deposit structure eases cash flow: 2.5 % on firm, 2.5 % in six months and the balance over 12–18 months, depending on the phase. Strata fees are budgeted at roughly $0.70/ft², and every home comes with at least one EV-ready stall and a storage locker.

Investment Perspective

Burquitlam is evolving into a true transit-oriented hub. Gardena’s mix of high-rise view homes, concrete mid-rise residences and rare townhomes positions the community to benefit from both end-user demand and long-term rental appeal. Intracorp’s track record of over 25,000 delivered homes adds confidence for buyers seeking solid resale value and dependable quality.
