Glenlyon Business Park

Located on 133 acres (53.8 hectares) of property bordering the Fraser River in Burnaby, B.C., Glenlyon Business Park was acquired by CLC from Canadian National Railway in 1995.

Glenlyon Business Park, the Natural Habitat for Business, is the premier suburban office park in Western Canada. Situated in the Big Bend area of South Burnaby, the park is centrally located and completely surrounded by green space including parkland, the Fraser River and a municipal golf course.

Due to the property’s sensitive ecological location, CLC was faced with the challenge of developing it to meet the exacting standards of potential business clients, while also respecting the community’s wishes to protect the environment. After extensive consultations, the CLC project team, city officials, and local environmentalists created a plan that has made Glenlyon one of the most attractive business locations in the country.

Landscaped medians and island features, numerous water elements such as ponds and creekways, curvilinear sidewalks, large set-backs from the roadway to the property line and an extensive path system all combine to create the park-like setting of Glenlyon.

Glenlyon has attracted high profile companies such as Nokia, Ballard Power Systems, Future Shop/Best Buy and Ritchie Bros. to the park. When fully built out, Glenlyon will consist of over 2,000,000 ft² of office, research and development space. To date, 725,000 ft² of construction has been completed, with over 3,500 employees working at Glenlyon.
