8285 Burnlake Drive: Rare Level Lot with 4-Unit Potential in Government Rd
8285 Burnlake Drive: 8285 Burnlake Dr sits on a level 11,679 SF lot with 68-foot frontage and up to 4 units allowed under new zoning
Situated on a quiet street in Burnaby’s prime Government Road area, 8285 Burnlake Drive offers a large, level 11,679 SF lot with a wide 68-foot frontage and a solid 2,737 SF home. Under the new high-density zoning, the property allows up to four residential units. Live in or rent out the existing home while you plan your build.
The Lot
The 11,679 SF lot is level, with 68 feet of frontage on a quiet street. That width gives builders and investors real flexibility in site planning, and the new zoning permits up to 4 residential units. Government Road is known for its generous lot sizes and established, tree-lined streets, and parcels like this rarely reach the market. Buyers should confirm current development options with the City of Burnaby.
Main Floor
All three bedrooms are on the main level, including a primary bedroom with its own ensuite. A 23’7″ x 10′ sundeck sits off the kitchen and dining room, a practical space for outdoor dining through the warmer months.
Basement
The spacious unfinished basement has a separate entry and a covered patio beneath the sundeck. For buyers holding the property before building, the layout presents excellent suite potential for extended family or rental income.

Large, level lots with this kind of frontage do not come to market often in Government Road. Whether you plan to build now, hold for the future, or simply move in, 8285 Burnlake Drive offers a straightforward case for all three.
