The car park’s 1,974 parking spaces are divided into two distinct areas, each with two entry and exit points for efficient vehicle access and egress to and from the car park. Each outlet at Hillside West and East is individually monitored and each residence is only billed for the charging power it consumes.

The Hillside development is also less than half a kilometer from the Brentwood SkyTrain station and future phases of the community will complete a bicycle network that will connect Burnaby And Vancouver. Ninety percent of all Concord Pacific properties, including Concord Brentwood, are within walking distance of rapid transit service.
