From Homes to High-Rises: Christmas Lighting Solutions for Every Burnaby Property

Burnaby is a city that comes alive during the holiday season. From cozy family homes in quiet neighborhoods to towering high-rises near Metrotown, Christmas lighting transforms the community into a vibrant display of festive cheer.

At Burnaby Landscape Lighting Starcrest, we specialize in providing custom holiday lighting solutions for every type of property—whether you own a single-family home, manage a multi-story condo, or operate a commercial building.

The truth is that no two properties are alike. Each one requires a unique design, careful planning, and the right products to ensure the lights shine bright all season long. Let’s dive into how we approach Christmas lighting for homes, townhouses, condos, and high-rises across Burnaby.

The Importance of Holiday Lighting in Burnaby

Holiday lighting is more than just decoration—it’s about creating atmosphere, building community spirit, and showcasing pride in your property. For families, it brings joy to loved ones. For businesses and high-rise managers, it enhances curb appeal and attracts visitors.

Burnaby’s diverse property types require equally diverse lighting strategies. At Starcrest, we design and install lighting systems that fit your property’s architecture, scale, and purpose.

Christmas Lighting for Single-Family Homes

Most Burnaby neighborhoods—from Deer Lake to Brentwood—are lined with family homes that become glowing holiday showcases.

Popular Home Lighting Options

• Roofline Outlines – Clean lines that highlight architectural features.
• Windows & Doors – Framed with elegant warm white or multi-color lights.
• Landscaping – Trees, shrubs, and hedges wrapped in festive colors.
• Pathway Lights – Illuminated walkways that welcome guests.
• Themed Displays – From candy cane lanes to winter wonderlands.

Starcrest customizes each home’s design to match personal style—whether that’s minimalist elegance or bold, colorful vibrance.

Holiday Lighting for Townhouses & Multi-Unit Residences

Burnaby’s townhouses and multi-unit residences require a different approach. Consistency and coordination are key so that the entire complex looks unified.

Townhouse Lighting Solutions

• Uniform Roofline Outlines – Consistent across all units for symmetry.
• Common Areas – Shared gardens, courtyards, and walkways illuminated.
• Entrance Accents – Doorways framed for a warm, inviting atmosphere.
• HOA-Friendly Designs – Custom solutions that meet strata regulations.

Professional townhouse lighting creates community pride and ensures every resident enjoys the festive season.

Christmas Lighting for Condominiums

Condos are a Burnaby staple, particularly near Edmonds and Metrotown. These properties demand larger-scale designs that balance beauty with practicality.

Condo Lighting Ideas

• Lobby & Entrance Illumination – First impressions matter for residents and visitors.
• Balcony Lighting – Coordinated designs for select units or community guidelines.
• Tree & Landscape Lighting – Courtyards, gardens, and outdoor trees become glowing focal points.
• Safety Lighting – Well-lit paths, driveways, and stairways for holiday gatherings.



Starcrest works with condo boards and property managers to ensure displays are festive, safe, and compliant with building rules.

High-Rise Christmas Lighting

High-rises present the most dramatic opportunities for holiday lighting. With towering structures visible across Burnaby’s skyline, high-rise displays create festive landmarks.

High-Rise Lighting Solutions

• Facade Lighting – Vertical outlines that emphasize building height.
• Roofline Illumination – Bold displays visible for miles.
• Lobby Displays – Indoor lighting and decorations to welcome residents.
• Window Designs – Strategic window lighting for large-scale patterns.
• Commercial Floors – Businesses within towers can use lighting to stand out.

High-rise lighting requires specialized equipment, expertise, and commercial-grade products. Starcrest provides safe, large-scale installations that dazzle the entire city.

Commercial Buildings & Retail Spaces

Christmas lighting is also essential for Burnaby’s businesses. From restaurants in The Heights to retail stores in Metropolis at Metrotown, lighting draws customers and sets the mood for holiday shopping.



Commercial Lighting Ideas

• Storefront Outlines – Catching the eye of passersby.
• Window Displays – Bright, festive arrangements for visual merchandising.
• Parking Lot Lighting – Decorative yet functional illumination.
