Best Buy will occupy the top five floors about 77,500 sq ft of the 177,500-sq-ft office space being built. This completely replaces the company’s sprawling business park office campus at 8800 Glenlyon Parkway in the Big Bend industrial area of South Burnaby, where the company has occupied about 140,000 sq ft of space for the past 25 years.

The current Burnaby office has a capacity to accommodate all 1,200 workers with the company, but the new Vancouver office, at only half the size, has the capacity for just half at 600.
