Targeted info for your benefi t

You can a� ord a new home

Before we launched our new look

and website, YPNextHome.ca, we

brought a formal focus group of

Canadians together to ask about real

estate. We specifi cally questioned

what factors in someone’s life would

make them want to move. One of

the top three reasons was the desire

to live in a di erent neighbourhood.

Respondents said they wanted

access to better schools and

amenities such as transit, shopping,

greenspace and parks.

With so many areas for you to

choose from, we created a Canada-

wide resource of neighbourhood

information and listings – on a local

level. On YPNextHome.ca, you’ll fi nd

statistical information on more than

2,700 neighbourhoods, featuring

data, listings, fun facts and more.

We’ve included a ton of

interesting info on key residential

neighbourhoods, including photos

and video tours. Check out Leaside,

for example.

We hope you’ll explore a few of the

neighbourhoods we’ve curated for

you on our new website. Drop us a

line and a photo about what you love

about your favourite neighbourhood.

We’d love to hear from you!

We’ve all heard it a thousand times:

Vancouver is expensive. One thing

that is increasing a ordability is

density. Both in the city and in

the surrounding municipalities

developers are o ering more

housing options at more price points

than ever before, meaning that

there’s something for every budget.

Previously under-appreciated

neighbourhoods all over the Lower

Mainland are getting new life as well,

thanks to an infl ux of new building

and the attendant increase in

population, and this is great news for

local businesses and communities.

Inside this issue, learn more about

new homes that are a ordable for

the average person or family.

Don’t buy into the hype: look

around and you can fi nd the home

that fi ts your lifestyle and your budget.

Property Profile | ELEMENTS

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT a good thing

couldn’t get any getter, Elements in Langley

unveils its brand new release of homes: lighter,

airier, even more stylish. “The 2016 interiors are

here now so you don’t have to wait till January to

experience these exciting new finishings, two new

colour palettes — Platinum and Iron — and totally

redesigned floor plans as well as some of our most

popular plans from previous phases,” says Tyra

Sauriol, sales manager.

See It, Buy It

“This is the last release of homes that will back

directly onto the greenbelt,” Tyra says pointing

to a lush strip of forest along the northern edge

of the property. “And with pre-sale

prices starting at $149,900, the value is

unbeatable. Plus right now you also get

the best selection.”

Clearly, the man checking out the

kitchen appliances and centre island’s

dramatic waterfall finish in Elements’

two-bedroom display home agrees. “This

floor plan is so well thought-out and the

price is really sharp. I thought I’d have

to settle for a one-bedroom resale, but I

can afford this.” He grins. “And I’m going

to get my buddy over to look at the one-

bedroom. He’s going to love it.”

“ The 2016 interiors are here now so you don’t have to wait till January.”—Tyra Sauriol

A Neighbourhood with Vibe

“This is such an eclectic, convenient

neighbourhood,” Tyra says. “There are eight coffee

shops, including three Wired Monks, within walking

distance. You’ve got easy access to multiple

grocery stores, drugstores and big box retailers.

The Bay is a seven-minute walk — I know because

I’ve done it. And talking about all the restaurants

would take hours.”

Right at home there’s lots happening too. “At

over 9,000-square-feet, Element’s Trilogy Club is

Langley’s largest private amenity building,” Tyra

says. “And because we kept our focus on low-

maintenance amenities that appeal to all ages —

things like 24/7 fitness centre, yoga studio, New

York-style lounge, chef’s kitchen —

our strata fees are still less than

many older properties in the

neighbourhood with few to no

amenities. And for all you home-

based entrepreneurs, there’s also a

boardroom for client meetings.”

The Elements presentation centre

and two brand new display homes

are open noon to 5 p.m. daily except

Fridays at 20211 – 66th Avenue

in Langley. For more information,

GETTING INTO DEBT can be a scary thing,

but I truly believe there are good debts

and bad debts. I’ll never regret taking

on a student loan to get my university

degree, and I don’t regret my mortgage,

as I need a stable and reliable place to

raise my family. I’m sure many of you are

like me when it comes to credit cards, a

little too happy-go-lucky with the plastic

– that’s the bad debt.

That is why it’s hard to determine

if the high debt-to-disposable income

fi gure that is paraded about on a

monthly basis is a sign of impending

doom for the Canadian economy, or

prudent Canadians using credit and debt

wisely to invest in their future. Here are

10 things to take into consideration:

1. Many of these studies on debt ignore

interest rates. Canadians can take on

more debt and keep their monthly costs

the same with lower borrowing costs.

2. The net worth of Canadians

is rising much faster than their

debt liabilities.

3. The average credit score for

Canadians seeking debt fi nancing has

been trending upward for fi ve years.

4. Better technology has created a

system that can better access the credit

risk of borrowers and allowed more folks

on the margin to qualify for loans, which

increases the debt-to-income ratio.

5. Fifty-six per cent of Canadians

reduced their debt in 2015 according to

a recent study, up from 49 per cent and

51 per cent in the previous

two polls.

6. Demand for mortgage and consumer

credit has slowed over the past four

years to one-third of the level prior to

the 2008-09 global fi nancial crisis.

Debt: 10 things you should know

7. The Bank of Canada stated that the

percentage of household disposable

income allocated to required payments

on mortgage debt has been relatively

stable for seven years.

8. Mortgages with loan-to-value ratios

above 80 per cent have fallen since the

last recession, and the average fi rst-time

homebuyer is now putting down 21 per

cent on a resale home in Canada.

9. Only three per cent of the Canadian

mortgage market consists of non-prime

borrowers. The large sub-prime market

was one of the culprits behind the US

housing meltdown.

10. We weary of comparisons to

the United States — di� erent tax

implications, very di� erent country.

There are plenty of countries that have

had much higher household debt levels

than us for nearly a decade.

In a poll conducted by Fortress Real

Developments of other residential

housing developers in Canada, none

of the respondents indicated that high

household debt was a top concern

of theirs regarding the health of

the domestic real estate market.

SURREY/LANGLEY

AT UNIVERSITY, DIXIE was slow paying

her cell phone bill. While her service

was never discontinued, she did carry a

balance from month to month that she

cleared at the end of each school year.

Last year, when Dixie applied for a car

loan, she was turned down because of

her less-than-perfect repayment history.

She’s worried about the future and how

her past borrowing mistakes will haunt

her when it comes time to buy a home.

Sound familiar?

If you see yourself refl ected in Dixie’s

story, no doubt by now you know you’re

not the only person in this particular

leaky boat. Unfortunately, many people

have no experience managing credit and

make mistake after mistake:

» they make their payments late

» they go over their credit limits


» they have a b’zillion credit cards

in their wallets

» they miss making their payments,

or worse

» they stop making payments

completely when they feel there’s

no end to their misery.

If you’ve fallen behind and your credit

record has become tarnished, where

should you go from there?

First, you’ve got to get yourself some

credit again so that you can demonstrate

what a good job you can do managing it.

The only way to establish a credit history

is to use and repay credit. There are a

number of ways to go about rebuilding

your credit history.

Start by taking out a loan to make an

investment (another good reason to start

a retirement savings plan). Make your

monthly payments on time and build

a shiny new credit history. Since the

institution that’s giving you the loan will

also be holding the retirement savings,

the credit procedure is far less stringent

than it normally would be.

You can also ask a co-signer or

guarantor to help you get a small loan of,

say, $1,000, which you would then pay

o� over three months. It would cost you

in interest, but you would be back on

track credit-wise.

Don’t want to incur the interest costs?

Apply for a “secured” credit card. With a

secured credit card, you put up cash to

cover your balance. Lenders often want

twice the credit card limit, so if you want

a $500 credit limit, you’ll have to ante

up $1,000. Once you’ve established your

ability to manage the card — anywhere

from six months to a year — you can

ask for the security requirement to be

dropped and your deposit returned.

Thinking of hiring a credit-repair

company? Don’t bother. Credit repair

companies can’t do anything you can’t

do yourself. A credit bureau will not

remove accurate negative information

from your credit report before the legal

time period has expired, so don’t get

suckered by anyone who claims they

can mop up your credit disasters faster.

There are no “loopholes.” The only way

to fi x a poor credit rating is to be smart

about how you use credit. Learn from

your mistakes and move on.

SOUTH SURREY/WHITE ROCK

RANDOMLY TUCKING things away

in spots that are convenient at the

moment just won’t do. If things don’t

have designated homes, they never get

put away properly, making them all but

impossible to fi nd the next time they’re

needed. Find the right spot for everything

that comes into your home, share the

organizational tactics with your family

and stop being a human directory for

everyone and everything in your home.

Organizing your home

Designate a basket or drawer as your

household’s “lost and found” area.

Deposit any stray items like bobby

pins, sunglasses, earrings, etc. It’ll soon

become the fi rst place family members

look for missing objects.

What did i do with that manual?

Have you added new appliances and

electronics to your home recently?

Staple the receipt and warranty to the

instruction manual and tape it to the

bottom of the item so it’s easy to fi nd

if you need to refer to it. For portable

items like cell phones and MP3 players,

store the manuals in an accordion fi le

by category.

Where’s the remote?

Use Velcro to attach the remote to the

side of the television set when not in

use and never waste time searching

for it again. Or, consider purchasing an

electronic remote fi nder that makes a

loud, distinctive sound to help you fi nd

it (this also works for keys).

Where are my keys?

Choose a “home” for your keys and get

into the habit of always keeping them

in that spot. Hang them on a designated

hook or toss them in a bowl. Leave

a copy of your keys with a trusted

neighbour.

Everything needs a home

Whenever you bring a new item

into your home, immediately fi nd a

permanent place for it to live. To help

you determine the best spot for it, ask

yourself what else is like it, and where

(and how often) will you use it. Store

similar things together, and store items

near their place of use. Items used daily

should be placed in the most accessible

areas (within arm’s reach), whereas

seldom-used items can be stored in

out-of-the-way spaces. Keep a label

maker handy to label drawers, shelves

and containers so you don’t have to rely

on your memory when you need to fi nd

something quickly.

Organizing your life

Time spent relaxing is not time wasted.

Give yourself permission to enjoy several

agenda-free days. Leave your e-mail

and cell phone behind and delight in

some of life’s simple pleasures without

interruption. This is especially crucial if

you are self-employed and your boss

is a tyrant! We can’t get very far in life on

an empty fuel tank; we have to get o�

the busy highway once in awhile

to refi ll it.

TOWN CENTRE

FIONA LI’S HOMEOWNERSHIP plans started earlier

than most. In fact, by the time she was a 15-year-

old attending high school at Prince of Wales in

Vancouver, she had set herself a clearly defined

goal: buy her own home as soon as she graduated

from university. She immediately got a job at Swiss

Chalet and within a couple of years, she’d saved

$14,000 toward her goal.

Like most first time buyers, Fiona always knew

that the most difficult part of buying a home would

be coming up with the down payment. So despite

the temptation to use her nest egg toward tuition

and rent, she kept her money squirreled away while

completing her degree at Simon Fraser University.

When she graduated at age 23, she immediately

began looking for a home to purchase.

“I just didn’t want to keep renting and paying

someone else’s mortgage any more — I wanted to

own some sort of property so that the money I’d

saved was working for me,” she says.

As a long time fan of the Sapperton

neighbourhood in New Westminster, Fiona soon

zeroed in on Brewery District and to her delight,

discovered that the $14,000 she’d earned as a

teenager was exactly the amount she now needed

to make a five per cent down payment on a one-

bedroom apartment with den. Today Fiona works

two jobs and is well on her way to saving the

balance of the down payment she’ll need in two

years when The Sapperton completes.

“You don’t need a million dollars to buy a home,”

she says emphatically. “Maybe people just aren’t

looking into what’s out there enough or they

don’t want to settle for an apartment

even though they’re already renting

one. If you’re looking for a house you

probably do need a million, but I don’t

think people realize there are a lot of

affordable options available. I’m paying

$261,900 for my home and my mortgage

will be about the same as the rent I’m

paying now.”

WHEN SHOPPING for a new home, more

and more people are choosing their

new home based on how much they

love the kitchen. The perfect kitchen

means di� erent things to di� erent

people. The following criteria include the

components that will let you know if a

kitchen is right for you.

When you’re shopping for your new

home, take these guidelines along with

you to help you rate and fi nd your

ideal kitchen.

1. Overall Look & Feel

When you enter the kitchen, you should

almost instantly feel good to be in that

space. It’s not one particular thing you

have to love, but the sense of it being

the kitchen you envision yourself in.

Rating out of 5:

» Drawn to the interior design

scheme colours.

» Functional and e� cient for your

cooking style.

» Does the kitchen island o� er the

seating and storage space you desire?

2. Layout

The fl ow and layout of a kitchen is

critical to enjoying your daily moments.

Are the appliances and utensil drawers

in easy-to-use areas? Is there enough

pantry space if you’re an avid baker? The

layout of the kitchen contributes to your

experience in your home so should be

taken into high consideration.

Rating out of 5:

» Do you immediately like the

circulation of the space?

» Layout and location of kitchen in

The heart of the homeWhat makes it an ideal kitchen for you?

relation to the rest of the home.

» Are the appliances and kitchen island

situated in your ideal locations?

3. Materials & Finishes

The quality of the materials is a personal

preference. Do you prefer natural stones

or love quartz options? Do you like high

gloss cabinets or traditional wood ones?

Ultimately, based on your budget and

personal preference, it will determine

your preference of the materials that are

used in the kitchen.

Rating out of 5:

» Do I like the look of the cabinets,

countertop and fl ooring used?

» Do I like the faucet and sink chosen?

» See the value of the kitchen and it’s

durability for years to come.

4. Appliance Package

The importance of the appliances falls

within your commitment of using each

one. If you’re passionate about your stir-

fry’s, love baking cupcakes from scratch,

or need ample storage for frozen food,

you’ll put higher value for di� erent

appliances.

Rating out of 5:

» The look and placement of the

appliances.

» The functionality of the appliances

serves my needs for their use.

» Each appliance is durable, functional

and easy to clean.

5. Storage Space

Where you’re going to be cooking a lot

or not, kitchen storage is almost always

important in a home. Really go through

the cabinet space, drawers and pantries

to assess if there is enough space for our

lifestyle needs.

Rating out of 5:

» Enough storage space for my pots,

food processors and dishes.

» Will there be enough room for my

non-perishable food items?

» Do I have enough cabinet space to

conceal everything I need it to?

BURNABY/NEW WESTMINSTER

Property Profi le | SOLTERRA

GET SET TO LOOK UP, way up. Why?

Because Milano by award-winning

Solterra is coming to the Brentwood

neighbourhood, and you can bet that

this 30-storey, landmark tower is going

to turn heads.

“Milano is going to be something

very distinctive and unique in the

Brentwood market — a singular tower

set on a quiet street rather than

being part of a cluster of anonymous

highrises,” says Laura Rizzo, Solterra’s

vice president of marketing. “The

design is cosmopolitan with modern

European infl uences. There will be 176

luxury concrete residences featuring

one-bedroom, two-bedroom and

three-bedroom apartment residences

plus eight townhomes and eight,

three-storey live/work homes at the

base of the building.”

The Essence of Luxury

True to the high-fashion history of

its namesake, Milano interiors are

an expression of good taste: Italian

designed kitchens, spa-inspired ensuites,

air conditioning, and large — as in really

large — balconies for savouring the views

and sunsets.

Following a long-standing Solterra

tradition, the top third of the building

will feature the Private Collection

residences with exclusive premium

fi nishing packages, dramatic oversized

High Living. High Style.

entry doors, and exceptional outlooks.

Some will even include private garages

— and all Private Collection homes

have at least two-car parking.

Celebrate the Lifestyle

Living at Milano means easy access

to the ever more diverse off erings of

“You have access to everything, but you’re

not right in the middle of all the chaotic

hustle and bustle.”

Milano’s onsite amenities are also

poised to be spectacular. Almost

outdoor space that includes Solterra’s

signature outdoor movie theater,

fi re pit, putting green, barbeque area

and lounge are sure to become a

favourite spot where owners can relax

VANCOUVER

IT’S BEEN THE STUFF of alarmist headlines for

months: unless you’ve got a million bucks

behind you, forget the idea of owning a home in

Vancouver. But Beau Jarvis, senior vice president

of development at Wesgroup, is among the many

industry experts who say that argument is not only

one-sided, it’s simply not true.

“What’s lost in the current conversation is a

real discussion about how we define a home,” he

says. “I believe we’re doing a disservice to the next

generation of young people and young families

when we insist on single-family homes as the

only goal in real estate ownership. Why can’t we

raise families in smaller spaces — townhomes,

condominiums, and duplexes? Check out the stats

on supply, affordability and the household income

required to buy a $384,000 condo, and it quickly

becomes obvious homeownership in Vancouver is

not the far-off dream it’s made out to be.”

David, a recent first-time homebuyer, couldn’t

agree more. “I thought about buying for a long

time because I was tired of paying someone else’s

mortgage,” he says. “We’ve had it beaten into our

heads that housing is unaffordable in Vancouver.

But I got a two-bedroom condo in Chinatown for

$390,000, and my equity in the place has already

grown enough that my down payment has more

than paid for itself.”

“Yes, Vancouver is expensive and yes, you may not

You don’t need a millionRedefining affordable homeownership in Vancouver

be able to afford a single-family home

in the same neighborhood you grew up

in,” Beau acknowledges. “But if you want

to own a home, start small. Buy a condo.

Or explore the myriad of options for

multi-family housing under $1 million. I

guarantee you #dontneed1million to get

a home in Vancouver.”

2 bedroom homes at Town Centre:

Homes at River District are $150,000+ less

than new homes at Marine and Cambie—and it’s

just a nine-minute drive away!

Even better, River District is a rare complete

neighbourhood built on the last piece of

Vancouver’s waterfront. It has everything you

need to live well, including CLUB CENTRAL, a

private fitness and aquatic centre, 25 acres of

outdoor green space, and a public plaza with

a grocery store, restaurant, cafés and shops.

What’s nine minutes worth to you?

EXCITING, SCARY, and ultimately empowering

is how Berta describes the whirlwind of her

decision to purchase a home at Tate Downtown

in Vancouver.

Recently single, the vivacious lawyer says she

already loved living in the West End but “had

absolutely no plans to buy.” Still, always with an eye

to unanticipated future possibilities, she’d taken

the proactive step of being pre-approved for a

mortgage… just in case.

Then one afternoon she was out engaging a

favourite West End activity — a brisk walk along the

Seawall — and spotted the Tate presentation centre.

On a whim, she decided to take a closer look.

“I met Linda, the sales manager, saw how the

suites were going to be finished and how well-

designed the floorplans were, and suddenly my fear

went away. I was leaving on a business trip abroad

in less than 10 days, so I knew this was a ‘take it or

leave it’ opportunity. ” Berta’s smile is warm and

genuine. “I took it, and immediately it felt like I’d just

taken back ownership of my life.”

The next few days were a blur as Berta worked

through signing the sale documents and making

the initial installment of her down payment.

Coordinating the balance was tricky because of

“ Immediately it felt like I’d just taken back ownership of my life.”—Berta

Reclaiming LifeBerta Discovers Tate Downtown

her travel schedule. “But Linda and the rest of the

sales staff were amazing. They worked with me to

make it happen.”

Even Tate’s completion date of early 2018 was

perfect. “It gives me time to put more money

together for the final down payment. And since I live

and work nearby, I can watch the building as it goes

up,” Berta says.

She’s also thrilled with the unobstructed ocean

view she’ll have from her 34th floor, one-bedroom

with flex-space and balcony. “Having a sensation of

Property Profile | ASPAC DEVELOPMENTS LTD.

YOU’VE WATCHED, you’ve waited,

and now your patience is paying off.

On October 24th, the brand new,

24,000-square-foot River Green

presentation centre opened its doors to

great acclaim and the delight of buyers

looking for a home that redefines luxury.

Experience the Elegance

Over a year in the planning, this three-level

presentation centre lays claim to being

one of the largest in Canada and is more

than a reflection of the superior quality

and luxurious finishings you’ll find in these

homes — it’s a showcase of the River

Green lifestyle and Aspac’s commitment to

continuing the tradition of excellence the

company started in Coal Harbour.

One Community: One Developer: True Waterfront

Now you can wander at leisure

through a furnished display home

or check out multiple kitchen and

bathroom vignettes to savour the

ambiance first hand. Here’s just a taste

of the many above-and-beyond features

you’ll find in every 2 River Green home

— integrated SubZero fridge and Miele

appliance package, Gessi bathroom

fixtures, and Cesar kitchen cabinets

imported from Italy exclusively for

this project. It all adds up to a perfect

balance of elegance, modernism, and

comfort — after all, you’re worth it.

Oh and by the way, if it’s a penthouse

that appeals to your sense of home,

you’ll definitely want to check out the

River Green RIVER GREEN PRESENTATION CENTRE

70 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Over a year in the planning, this three-level presentation centre lays claim to being one of the largest in Canada and is a showcase of the River Green lifestyle

preview of 2 River Green’s exclusive

villas in the sky. In short, whatever your

preference, this is your chance to see,

touch, and enjoy.

And here’s an unanticipated bonus.

The presentation centre is meticulously

situated so you can see the actual

views you’ll get from some of 2 River

Green’s third and fourth floor homes.

Of course, higher up views are as close

as River Green’s digital experience —

an interactive kiosk that showcases

the entire community as well as

individual floorplans.

Celebrate Life

Amenities, too, are astonishing — a shining

example of Aspac’s commitment to bring

five-star living to every homeowner.

The grand, hotel-inspired lobby

features 24-hour concierge, bold

use of marble, and pillars wrapped

in geometrically aligned woods that

transform structural elements into artistic

highlights. To one side, an enclosed Zen

garden will separate the lobby from the

swimming pool just beyond — creating

an inviting ambiance like layers of water

and greenery.

Integrated between 2 River Green’s

two sister towers will be a lavishly

landscaped courtyard and sparkling

water garden, sundecks that appear

to float on the water, and comfortable

seating. The garden will also be designed

to look as if it connects directly with the

Fraser River just outside.

Interior amenities include an infinity

pool, whirlpool, steam room and sauna,

fitness facility with state-of-the-art

equipment, and a tranquil yoga area.

The musically inclined will be able

to practice on the piano or bring an

instrument of their choice to 2 River

Green’s acoustically insulated music

room. There’s also a private theatre

room, clubroom with large-screen

TV and chef’s kitchen, an outdoor

entertainment terrace with barbeque,

and a quiet study room.

Complementing the extensive water

features Aspac will build throughout

the River Green community, the City of

Richmond is adding a pier and floating

dock right next door on the Fraser

River. The pier will not only provide

temporary moorage for leisure boats,

it will be an amazing place to relax and

enjoy an afternoon picnic or celebrate

the sunsets.

And since staying fit is yet another

part of daily life at River Green — this

includes cycling or walking along the

38 kilometres of dike trails located,

quite literally, right outside your front

door. Aspac even provides ultra-secure

bike lockers for keeping your favourite

two-wheelers safe and sound. Or

check out the many offerings at the

23,000-square-foot Olympic Oval

right next door.

The River Green Community’s three-

level presentation centre is now open

noon to 5 p.m. daily at 5111 Hollybridge

Way in Richmond. Don’t miss this

opportunity to be part of the New Coal

Harbour. For more information visit

rivergreen.com or call 604.233.2633.

STARTING

FROM

West Coquitlam’s newest tower offers a fresh take on urban balance, blending city and community in a single address. Relax at Brookmere Park, shop at Lougheed Town Centre, or hop on the Evergreen or Millennium Skytrain — it’s all steps from your door.

Special Feature

READY FOR A whole new perspective

on urban balance and neighbourhood

spirit? Well say hello to Brookmere, a

spectacular 28-storey tower from Onni

that’s coming soon to West Coquitlam.

Located directly opposite Lougheed

Town Centre, Brookmere will be the

first residential tower built in this part

of West Coquitlam in well over six

years, so it’s no surprise savvy buyers

are taking note. “Since we opened for

previews mid-October, response

has been overwhelming,” says Nic

Jensen, Onni’s vice president of sales.

“I’ve talked to so many people who

already live in this neighbourhood

and want to stay here but haven’t

been able to find a condominium

home they liked… until now.”

At the Crossroads

Celebrate Your ’Hood

“Brookmere is a unique site in so

many ways,” Nic says. “First there’s

the proximity to transit. You’re a

couple of minutes from the existing

Lougheed SkyTrain station for when

you’re travelling west to Vancouver

or east to New Westminster. By the

end of next year, the Evergreen Line

is expected to be operational so you’ll

have access to Coquitlam Centre and

Port Moody. And since you’re right by

Highway One or Lougheed Highway,

it’s easy to get everywhere by car

as well.”

With the area’s retail and restaurant

scene seeming to grow more robust

every week, Nic’s not exaggerating

when he says every kind of shopping

Brookmere

“I’ve talked to so many people who already live in this neighbourhood and want to stay here but haven’t been able to find a condominium home they liked… until now.”—Nic Jensen

and dining experience you can think of

is probably nearby. Plus Lougheed Town

Centre is poised to undergo a massive

revitalization in the next few years, so

you know the options are just going to

keep expanding.

“But what makes Brookmere even

more special is that it’s tucked into a

quiet part of West Coquitlam adjacent

to Brookmere Park that we will be

helping to revitalize,” Nic says, adding

that right behind the park is the lush

greenery of the Vancouver Golf Club.

“Many of the east-facing homes will

have great views of the park and the

course. If you’re facing north or west,

you’ll see Burnaby Mountain and the

North Shore Mountains, while to the

south there will be views of the Fraser

River and Mount Baker.

Your Home, Your Style

When it comes to selection, Brookmere

is a winner too. “We have floorplans

ranging from a one-bedroom with

storage and parking starting at $269,900

all the way to three-bedroom homes

with almost 1,500 square feet of space,”

Nic says. “So whether you’re a first

time buyer, a downsizer, or a growing

family, we really do have a home to

accommodate your lifestyle.”

Now if you’re thinking all this value

means sacrificing good looks, think again.

Brookmere interiors are all about luxury.

Here come a few hints to whet your

curiosity: full-sized KitchenAid appliances

including five-burner gas cooktop,

bathrooms with in-floor heating, over-

height ceilings, and big, sunny balconies

of up to 300 square feet.

“Onsite amenities, too, are going to

be amazing,” Nic says. No kidding. In

total, the Brookmere Wellness Club will

provide more than 14,000 square feet

of indoor/outdoor amenities including

a professionally-equipped gym with

yoga space, third floor outdoor terrace

with garden plots, multi-media theatre,

fireside lounge, party room, and a guest

suite for when you just want a little extra

space for your overnight visitors.

The Brookmere presentation centre and

display homes are open for previews

from noon to 6 p.m. daily except

Fridays at 150b – 3355 North Road (off

Cameron Street) in Burnaby. Priced

from $269,900. For more information
