Urban Convenience with a Cultural Heart
ancouver’s East Village is an emerging, urban neighbourhood with a diverse mix of dining, retail and entertainment options. This is definitely a community where residents can work, play and live. Enter The Oxford — a distinct collection of 38 modern residences that are amongst East Village’s urban delights. The Oxford is located in the convenient East Hastings area just a few blocks east of Commercial Drive. A home at Oxford puts you a short bike ride away from many of the city’s best-kept secrets, including the outdoor pool and beach at New Brighton Park. It’s also very close to a large number of schools from elementary up to high school, community centres, and a library.
The whole neighbourhood is really a well-kept secret: everybody here knows how great it is, but in the rest of Vancouver, we’re kind of overlooked at this point,” says Robert Cadez of The Airey Group. “This is an enviable corner of the city, and The Oxford is the best way to live here.”
full participation in the Vancouver landscape and not just a view out the window. The views, the urban conveniences and the vibrant community add together for a fantastic new place to call home. The Oxford boasts a distinctive red brick facade that brings a timeless urban essence to the residence, and speaks volumes to the quality of the finishings found inside. Spacious and well-proportioned homes are offered in soft ash or white colour schemes, which carry throughout the open spaces in quartzite countertops and corresponding backsplashes, European-style, square-edge cabinetry and refined laminate throughout common spaces, with the option to upgrade to wide-plank engineered hardwood available. Kitchens are for cooking as well as being the hub of the household, and the gourmet stainless steel appliances don’t disappoint. From Porter & Charles dual fuel range oven to Fisher & Paykel bottom-freezer refrigerator, kitchens are well-appointed as well as functional. Bathrooms share these stately details, and include seamless glass shower enclosures, Grohe plumbing fixtures and smooth stone tile flooring.
The 38 homes within The Oxford are a collaboration by The Allaire Group and The Airey Group, both well-known in the Lower Mainland for their work in custom homes as well as multi-unit housing developments. Coming together with interior designers Gannon Ross Designs, the result is a distinctive collection of modern residences with quality finishings and luxury details that will please the most discriminating tastes.
The Oxford is located at 2141 East Hastings Street, at Lakewood Drive. Celebrate the Grand Opening on Saturday, July 19th and Sunday, July 20th from 12 to 5pm. A full Presentation Centre with Display Home is available at 2740 East Hastings Street (at Slocan Street, a few blocks east of The Oxford site).
Hastings Street in the East Village area is perfectly perched to enjoy expansive views of the North Shore mountains, the Vancouver Harbour, and of course, the twinkling lights of the city’s nightscape. The Oxford’s homes offer residents large patios and terraces to allow
Homes start in the low-to-mid $200s, and range from just under 500 sq.ft studios to just under 1000 sq.ft three-bedroom penthouses. More information is available at www.LiveAtOxford.com or by contacting info@liveatoxford.com / 604.779.0091.

Signature at Falcon Centre Active Living in a Vibrant Urban Core
D
owntown Maple Ridge is becoming the place to be — not just to shop, but to live, work and play. Now a thriving urban centre, the recent development boom brings a range of living accommodations at comfortable prices. Signature at Falcon Centre, a boutique collection of 23 condominium homes, is situated right in the heart of the downtown, and takes advantage of the addition of new shopping areas and more dining and entertainment options for residents of all ages.
“Living in the city centre is a new lifestyle for many of our new residents, and they’re finding themselves more active now that home is down the street,” says Nicole Buckle, sales manager for Signature at Falcon Centre. “The whole downtown has changed: we’ve got Thrifty Foods, leisure and arts centres, lots of new restaurants. Everything is within easy walking distance.” This growing community combines the ease of city living with wonderful access to the great outdoors. Ideally situated, Maple Ridge provides an easy commute to Vancouver via the West Coast Express, or eastbound by the Trans-Canada Highway. The Golden Ears Bridge has opened up travel to and from neighbouring cities, and made Maple Ridge more accessible for commuters and visitors alike. Signature at Falcon Centre is offered by Falcon Homes, who have been designing and building exceptional residential and commercial projects in the Lower Mainland for over 25 years. The developer has a good appreciation for the diversity of the communities served in Maple Ridge, evidenced by the range of projects underway at any given time, from urban condos to single family homes on the edge of town. “Our current and future projects will enable a full spectrum of buyers to become owners of well-built homes in thriving communities,” says Dwayne Friesen, operations manager with Falcon Homes. “From 14 New Homes Magazine June 20 – July 18, 2014 |
those just entering the workplace to new families to empty-nesters, we’ll find a Falcon Home for you.” The Signature collection of homes offers the luxury of space not easily found elsewhere. A range of layouts are available, with quite a number of options for two-bedroom homes, with and without den. These homes go up to 1540 sq.ft in size, much desired by downsizers who might want less maintenance but still want room to move, and to entertain. The development has eight or less units on each of the four floors, maintaining an exclusive feel. Finishings in each home provide an uncommon standard of living, with thoughtful features such as protective rain screen technology, acoustic isolated concrete floors, and wall assembly with additional soundproofing between suites. Extra touches visible to the eye include 9–11' ceilings, extra-wide plank laminate flooring in living areas and premium carpet in bedrooms and closets. Gourmet kitchens anchor open-concept living spaces, and feature granite countertops, maple shaker cabinetry and the extra convenience of an island / breakfast bar. Stainless steel Whirlpool appliances are standard, along with stainless, undermount doublebowl sink with single lever faucet and extension sprayer. Bathrooms are equally lovely and spacious, with deep soaker tubs, oversized showers with ceramic tile surrounds and full-width mirrors set off by designer lighting. Signature at Falcon Centre is located 11882–226th Street in Maple Ridge. Prices start in the mid-200s for 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom homes, and range up to the mid-500s for larger homes. The Presentation Centre and Display Suite are located in Unit #101, and is open daily from noon until 5pm. Please contact the Presentation Centre at info@signaturefalconcentre.com or 604.477.1500 or visit www.signaturefalconcentre.com for more information.

entury Group and Surrey City Development Corporation (SCDC) were excited with the first public announcement on Wednesday June 11th that Surrey’s first mixed-use and tallest tower, 3 Civic Plaza, will not only be the only Hotel and Residences on the skytrain SkyTrain in Surrey’s new upper university district but will actually be the only residences that also form part of the university district as the new home to Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s (KPU) newest campus! 3 Civic Plaza residential buyers, visitors and Realtors were all invited to attend KPU’s public announcement of their new campus at the new Surrey City Hall on the Plaza yesterday. Guests mixed with future university students to enjoy the festivities and learn more about the new campus itself.
The presentation centre for the residences at 3 Civic Plaza is located at 10277 King George Boulevard where visitors can learn more about the new civic centre including the new university, new city hall & library and the uniquely spacious residences available for purchase including a limited number of full 3 bedroom condominium residences. There is a full model for viewing, showing what the completed plaza may look like when completed and 2 fully furnished display homes of the residences to view. Century Group and SCDC are also working on completing 2 hotel display suites so that owners and visitors can experience what Surrey’s only Autograph Collection hotel by Mariott International will look like. This new hotel collection will only add to Surrey’s growing world-class reputation and will offer amenities to the homeowners at 3 Civic Plaza that people won’t be able to get anywhere else.
Residences of the 3 Civic Plaza will have the luxury of living in Surrey’s tallest tower, have the only hotel affiliation with access to the impressive grand lobby, be a true part of the new University District with KPU forming part of the building, not to mention own one of the most spacious and best designed living spaces in all of the new Surrey City Centre. The homes at 3 Civic Plaza range from over 500 to approximately 1,400 square feet, in a wide variety of spacious open-plan one-, twoand now three-bedroom floor plans with large balconies perfect for entertaining or relaxing on. The gourmet kitchens include stainlesssteel appliances, under-cabinet energy-efficient LED accent lighting and quartz stone countertops, complemented by a vertical-patterned mosaic glass backsplash. A flexible kitchen island is a convenient touch. The luxurious bathrooms include custom millwork, an integrated tub and shower unit with a glass enclosure, and cantilevered vanities with hidden LED lighting and large mirrors with sleek linear light fixtures. All this starts at just $246,900 ranging up to the upper $700 thousands. Located just steps to Surrey Central Mall and SFU campus, plus commuting is a snap, with the Surrey Central SkyTrain station at your front door, as well as access to the Modo car-sharing network for 3 Civic Residences.

Real Estate Market Report
Home buyer demand increases across Greater Vancouver housing market
VANCOUVER, B.C. – An increase in home buyer demand put Greater Vancouver in the upper reaches of a balanced real estate market in May. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential property sales in Greater Vancouver reached 3,286 on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in May 2014. This represents a 14 per cent increase compared to the 2,882 sales recorded in May 2013, and a 7.7 per cent increase compared to the 3,050 sales in April 2014. Last month’s sales were 6.5 per cent below the 10-year sales average for May of 3,514. The sales-to-active-listings ratio currently sits at 20.4 per cent in Greater Vancouver, which is the first time that this measure has been above 20 per cent since June 2011. MLS®
“Our statistics tell us that there’s more home buyer demand today than at any point over the last three years,” Ray Harris, REBGV president said. “With sales surpassing the 3,000 mark in May and our sales-to-active-listing ratio exceeding 20 per cent, this is the most active
marketplace we’ve seen since the spring of 2011,”
New listings for detached, attached and apartment properties in Greater Vancouver totalled 5,936 in May. This represents a 5 per cent increase compared to the 5,656 new listings in May 2013 and a 0.2 per cent decline from the 5,950 new listings in April. Last month’s new listing count was 2 per cent below the region’s 10-year new listing average for the month.
The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Greater Vancouver is 16,072, a 6.7 per cent decline compared to May 2013 and a 3.6 per cent increase compared to April 2014. The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $624,000. This represents a 4.3 per cent increase compared to May 2013. “Home prices have experienced consistent yet modest increases in our region since
the beginning of 2013,” Harris said. Sales of detached properties in May 2014 reached 1,453, an increase of 19.9 per cent from the 1,212 detached sales recorded in May 2013, and a 23.1 per cent increase from the 1,180 units sold in May 2012. The benchmark price for detached properties increased 5.4 per cent from May 2013 to $966,500. Sales of apartment properties reached 1,286 in May 2014, an increase of 13.2 per cent compared to the 1,136 sales in May 2013, and an 11.2 per cent increase compared to the 1,156 sales in May 2012.

The Cottages at Cultus Lake Connecting families through tradition and memories A place where children sell lemonade by the glass, build forts in the forest and set out for a bike ride exploration. It’s where neighbours spontaneously gather for a BBQ under the sun, where families roast marshmallows in the moonlight and where summer days feel longer are carefree. Sound like a distant memory of your youth? Wish your children could grow up with a similar experience? Past meets present at The Cottages at Cultus Lake: a safe, gated recreational community designed to capture imagination, build lasting memories and inspire you to create the ultimate family legacy. The Cottages is situated on 60 acres of pristine forested land nearby the popular and convenient Cultus Lake. Although a mere 90-minute commute from the city with no worries of border lineups or ferry delays, it feels like a world apart. Your short drive will take you from concrete towers, congested roadways and polluted skies to lush green forest with the scent of ancient cedars, breathtaking Cascade mountain views and clean fresh air. More importantly, your schedule will go from hectic and planned to wide-open and free, which means more quality time with those who matter in life. "The community is made up of a diverse demographic,” says Steven Van Geel, cottage specialist with The Cottages at Cultus Lake. “Whether its young families who are after a stress-free weekend getaway, grandparents who want a fun meeting place to enjoy with the whole family, or empty-nesters looking to downsize, there is a great mix of people here." Just as nature is plentiful at Cultus Lake, the amenities are endless at The Cottages. The community is anchored by the "Treehouse," a 10,000 sq.ft. clubhouse that the whole family will enjoy. Children will cheer for the interactive splash pool, various sports courts and play areas while parents will appreciate the lap
pool, adult lounge and fitness centre. Residents of all ages can walk the various nature trails, tend to the community garden, shoot pool in the games room or spread out a picnic blanket in one of the parks for an afternoon lunch. The cottages themselves have been designed around an open concept. Vaulted-ceiling great rooms feature reclaimed beams and hardwood flooring and present a nice flow into the dining and kitchen areas. Large picture windows capture the natural light and river rock stone fireplaces make for cozy quarters on cool evenings. These cottages are not your typical cabin in the woods, but rather a contemporary interpretation, with all the modern conveniences and premium finishes you would expect in a home away from home. "The community plans monthly activities and social events like its annual Easter scavenger hunt, Canada Day picnic in the park, New Year's Eve party and gardening groups,” says Van Geel. "Everyone is here to have fun and enjoy life in the great outdoors, and they are making new friends doing just that.” The Cottages is very much alive with 90% of the community already sold. The 2014 season launched with a limited selection of completed, move-in ready cottages that come fully upgraded and beautifully furnished.
