Panoramic views from Falcon RidgeResting on Sumas

Mountain in Abbotsford, with the best panoramic view of Mount Baker and Sumas Prairie, Falcon Ridge aspires to offer “elevated elegance.”

Abbotsford’s newest neighbourhood on 36468 Florence Drive combines a classic family home with the convenience of a nearby metropolitan area.

Remax agent, John Corrie, says the units are aimed at established home buyers. The current development is overseen by two local companies, Odessa Builders and Windridge Properties, which are working to create “elegant homes with modern layouts” and unobstructed views of the Fraser Valley landscape.

Not far from shopping outlets, fine and casual din-ing restaurant options and various other recreational opportunities, Falcon Ridge remains in proximity to urban areas, without losing a rural feel.

After selling out its initial 42 units, Falcon Ridge is now entering its second phase of

development, featuring a mix of single- and multi-family homes. The four available show homes are 3,678 sq.ft and contain three to four bedrooms and a family room, with one show home display-ing a legal one bedroom and den basement suite.

“All homes have double garages, are fully landscaped and air-conditioned,” adds Corrie. “Also included are appliance packages, HST, and are quality built with home warranty.”

Keeping with the custom of open spaces and views, the interior details include vaulted ceilings and oversized win-dows.

The main floor includes all amenities such as a stone countertop kitchen, laundry room and master suite. Bathrooms include a large tub, a separate walk-in shower and cabinets.

Ensuring “affordable luxury without compromise,” the spacious homes guarantee beautiful, open views for years to come with prices ranging from $789,900 to $799,000.

Real Estate Showcase

Construction continues on a house in the Falcon Ridge community, a new development nestled on the south-ern slope of Sumas Mountain.

BC First-Time New Home Buyers’

$10,000 Bonus!Visit Brooklyn Condominiums this weekend

to buy your new condo home!

Opportunity knocks for first-time buyersReal Estate Showcase

When searching for “afford-able elegance,” in the Lower Mainland, Brooklyn condomini-ums is an ideal place to begin,

Quantum Properties is advising new buyers to take advantage of the first-time new home buyers bonus. This allows a one-time payment worth up to $10,000 for B.C. residents purchasing their first home. The final date of eligibil-ity for the bonus is March 31, 2013.

Marketing manager of Quantum Properties Lisa Lawry, urges consumers, to take advantage of this limited offer.

She says there will be no new condominium projects complet-ed in Abbotsford until late in 2013 or early 2014 – which may be too late for buyers to qualify for the bonus program.

Brooklyn is nearing comple-tion and will soon have 87 condos available for move-in, with prices ranging from $169,900 up to $299,900 including HST.

The target market is “downsizers looking for a lock-and-go lifestyle, and first-time home buyers,” says Lawry.

Located in the heart of Abbotsford, at 3192 Gladwin Rd., the gated community is situated only minutes from major shopping centres, restaurants, parks, and other recreational amenities. The ever-popular Discovery Trail system that spans the community from east to west, is also accessible nearby.

The development is surround-ed by a lush landscape that includes walkways, flourishing gardens and water fountains.

Inside the building, there are 12 different floor plan options, ranging from 663 sq.ft one-bedroom homes, to 1,146 sq.ft two-bedroom plus den. No matter the layout, all homes feature nine-foot ceilings and a spacious patio area.

The main living space contains an electric fireplace bordered by designer stone and a natural wood stained mantel, as well as fabric light fixtures to illuminate the dining area.

The kitchen contains four high-quality stainless steel appliances, beautiful lighting, maple veneer cabinets, and thick granite countertops.

Electrician Jeff Hein puts some finishing touches on the wiring for the Brooklyn development on Gladwin Road.

shops, and restaurants provide access to daily necessities.

Currently under development, the gated-community is looking towards offering 120 new lots. The plan is to release the homes in stages, with 44 lots already in discussion for the west side end of the property.

The homes will be divided into separate layouts, with a bigger estate style lot with a built in garage construct-ed along a ravine, and single family homes of varying sizes in the interior of the property, featuring a detached garage.

Sales manager of Blauson Homes, Donna Heath, says plans “aren’t yet official for the exact details of the building structure, and instead will be determined by how the market is doing.”

Typically, the demographic for the new developments will maintain the same focus as the rest of Auguston, which is “a place for people of all ages to call home.”

The additions to the Auguston area will be constructed amongst a “rich array of natural settings, neighbourhood

parks and the local school,” adds Heath. “We want to maintain the feel of a family oriented residential community.”

The presentation pavilion is open by appointment only, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. at 36363 Auguston Parkway South. Prices for the new development have not yet been determined.
