Southwest Coquitlam
Coquitlam West, where the station sets the rules
Coquitlam West is the real estate board's name for the west end of Coquitlam: the south-west corner of the city, on the Burnaby border. Homes for sale here include detached houses, townhomes and condo apartments. Listings filed under it include streets such as Clarke Road, North Road, Como Lake Avenue, Whiting Way, Farrow Street and the west end of Austin Avenue, so it takes in Burquitlam and the Coquitlam side of Lougheed.
Two SkyTrain stations, Burquitlam and Lougheed Town Centre, shape almost everything here. Since 2024 the Province has set minimum building heights around each station by distance, and in May 2026 Coquitlam adopted a plan for the blocks just outside those circles. Before you buy or sell on a street here, find out which rules reach it.

How a train line redrew these streets
Burquitlam Station opened on December 2, 2016. The next year the City adopted the Burquitlam-Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan, which puts the tallest buildings next to the two stations and steps down to mid-rise buildings and then townhouses as you move away from them.
In 2024 a provincial law added a second layer. Coquitlam designated the land within 800 metres of eight SkyTrain stations as Transit-Oriented Areas, under Bylaw No. 5393, 2024. Burquitlam and Lougheed Town Centre are two of them. Inside those areas the Province sets minimum heights and densities that the City must be willing to approve.
The circles cut across existing streets without regard to the older plan, so the City reviewed the land just outside them. Following a public hearing, Council adopted the Southwest Shoulders and Corridors plan on May 27, 2026. It covers the blocks around the Burquitlam and Lougheed Town Centre stations and along Austin Avenue, keeps some small-scale residential streets as they are, returns townhouses to places the earlier plan had them, and adds a new neighbourhood shopping area near Austin Avenue and Blue Mountain Street.
Distance from the station decides what can be built
The Province's minimums for land in a Transit-Oriented Area around a SkyTrain station. Coquitlam can allow more. It cannot approve a rezoning below these numbers.
| Tier | Distance from the station | Minimum height | Minimum floor area ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Up to 200 metres | 20 storeys | 5.0 |
| Tier 2 | 200 to 400 metres | 12 storeys | 4.0 |
| Tier 3 | 400 to 800 metres | 8 storeys | 3.0 |
Floor area ratio is the total floor area of a building divided by the area of its lot. A designation leaves a lot as it is until someone applies to build and the City approves it.

Find out which rules reach a particular street
- 1
Open the City's Transit-Oriented Areas page and the map for the nearest station. Check whether the lot is inside the 800 metre area, and in which tier.
- 2
If it sits just outside, read the Southwest Shoulders and Corridors material. This is the plan that decides what happens on the blocks next to the circles.
- 3
Look up the lot's current zone. Most single-family lots in Coquitlam moved into the R-1 to R-4 small-scale zones in June 2025.
- 4
Look at the lots on both sides and across the street. On a block here, the most important question is often what the neighbours can build.
- 5
If the sale depends on any of this, ask the City's Development Services to confirm it for the address, and keep their answer in writing.

If you are selling in Coquitlam West
Some buyers here are paying for the house, and some are paying for the land and what the rules allow on it. The second group will look up your tier, your zone and your neighbours before they call you. You should know those answers before you set a price.
If your lot sits inside a Transit-Oriented Area, find out whether a developer is already buying neighbouring lots on your block to build on them together. A developer buying several lots prices your house in a different way from a family buying a place to live.

Check the tier for the lots around the house.
