 Why do business here?
A prime
location in North Burnaby, the Heights Commercial District is ideally
located on or near several major Translink routes and traffic arteries.
These include Hastings Street, which sees 40,000 cars pass through
daily (1.2 million each month) and Highway 1, which efficiently
connects the Heights to numerous parts of the Lower Mainland. We are 5
minutes from the North Shore, 15 minutes from Downtown, and 20 minutes
from Surrey.
Moreover, with 10 free municipal parking lots and
an abundance of parking on side streets, the Heights is a very
accessible shopping area.
The Heights commercial district has
supported businesses for more than 75 years. It is comprised of a
vibrant mix of many long-standing independent businesses as well as
successful franchises and brand name companies. The flavour is
decidedly multi-cultural, and the area is well known as one of the most
desirable places in the Lower Mainland to live.
A feeling of
community pride resonates through this friendly neighborhood shopping
district. Customers feel it when they enter a proprietor-run shop who
treats them like family. It truly is a neighbourhood shopping district
with an authentic, personal atmosphere.
 The Heights commercial
district is actively served by the Heights Merchants Association BIA.
This group undertakes regular and strategic marketing, promotions and
beautification initiatives to give the Heights an appealing flare that
continues to attract new businesses and customers.
