GRAPHIC DESIGN Jasenka Avram Cliff Blank creative@bcnewhomes.ca WEB SERVICES Alison Duncan alison@hlwestcoast.ca Published by

Lacking for nothing embodied by its larger neighbours, PoCo continues to draw newcomers every year. Amanti, a charming new development on Welcher Avenue, is located right in the heart of this thriving city — just a short distance to the historic downtown district. Long revered as a great place to raise a family, North Delta is also rising up as a community for all ages. Delta Rise is a new condominium tower that is being welcomed in the community for its offering of 317 one-level homes, and a truly central location that provides walkability to shops, services and recreation. Evolve will be the newest high-rise condominium tower in the developing residential hub of Surrey’s West Village community. Currently previewing, Evolve’s unbeatable price point will undoubtedly have many homebuyers taking a second look at this tower of opportunity.

IN THE COMMUNITY 18 Discover the Tri-Cities: All aboard for new developments The Tri-Cities is one of the fastest growing regions in Metro Vancouver, and with improved transportation into and around the community new areas for development have opened up to provide home buyers with an array of housing options.

Spring A New Season for Condo Living in Port Coquitlam

irds seem to chirp a bit louder in the early days of April, and new buds and blossoms bring a little extra colour and fragrance to the slightly warmer air. Springtime brings fresh, new perspective to daily routines across the Lower Mainland. And Spring, a new boutique condominium residence, has delivered a brand new style of condo living in Port Coquitlam.

end errands, but also want to live on a quiet street,” says Colleen Ferguson, sales manager for Spring. “Port Coquitlam’s downtown core is a vibrant and friendly neighbourhood — there’s a real sense of community here.” Spring is built by Kerkhoff Construction, long established as a new home builder since 1968. Kerkhoff is a well-known name internationally as well as close to home, with projects ranging from the Granville Island Hotel to the Surrey SkyTrain bridge. They’ve built a reputation of excellence in residential construction.

Spring on Kelly is an exclusive five-story development with just 46 homes in total. Located on a quiet street east of Shaughnessy, the residence offers great privacy and less traffic than many other local developments. Easy access remains, however, and downtown Port The boutique condominiums are not only well-constructed, Coquitlam’s many shops and services are but a couple of minutes’ walk but they’re finished with that little bit extra that deserves the away.

“Visitors to Spring are impressed with the quality of the finishings, and the size of the homes. Each home, as well as the overall residence, has an intimate and luxurious appeal not found in larger local properties,” says Ferguson. “ Since the New Year, sales have been brisk, and by month’s end we’ll likely have sold another 10 homes.” The homes are available in 1-bedroom with den, or a spacious 2-bedroom layout. All homes have spacious decks that really add to overall living space for relaxing outdoors. On weather-inclement days, oversized windows look out and beyond at either the West Coast mountains or at the greenery of Elks Park, located immediately behind Spring’s property line. The openconcept feel moves up as well as out, with nine- and ten-foot ceilings providing additional airiness indoors. Spring is located at 2214 Kelly Avenue in Por t Coquitlam. Prices start at $215,900 for a 1-bedroom + den home, and from $293,900 for a 2-bedroom home. The Sales Centre and display homes are open daily from 12-5pm daily.

Spring on Kelly Developed by respected local builder Kerkhoff Construction, Spring on Kelly is an exclusive five-story project featuring 46 1-bedroom and den or 2-bedroom homes on a quiet street, just steps from the local conveniences of downtown Port Coquitlam. All homes feature spacious decks and full stainless steel appliance packages, while finishing details include stone countertops, designer backsplashes, oversized windows and nine and ten foot ceilings. Located at 2214 Kelly Avenue in Port Coquitlam, display homes are open daily from noon to 5pm. For more information refer to the front cover profile on Spring in this issue or visit www.springonkelly.com.

Altura Altura is a new 35-unit development close to downtown in Port Coquitlam, steps to urban shopping and local parks and trails, with easy access to the West Coast Express. Interior features include quartz countertops, hazelnut wood laminate cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, along with low-emission wall paint, Energy Star windows, and full utilization of LEED recognized products in the construction process. Located at 2345 Welcher Avenue in Port Coquitlam, the Altura Presentation Centre is open Tuesday through Sunday from 12 – 4pm. For more information call 604.552.5887 or visit www.lrggroup.ca/altura.

only half-hour, but increasingly there is less dependence on having to leave the area.” The Circadian Group has also been busy in Port Coquitlam, with a sold-out, 30-suite development on Atkins Avenue that completed in 2012, and the current Kelly Avenue development, La Via Poco. This 34-suite condo development is near sold-out, and offers a range of studios through 2-bedroom + den homes within the four-storey, wood frame construction building. La Via Poco, like many other new PoCo developments, are situated within walking / cycling distance to outdoor recreation locations like the Traboulay Trail and the Coquitlam River. Port Moody is another area within the Tri-Cities that stays close to nature, with the scenic Inlet Trail winding along the western edge of the city, yet steps away from the civic centre. The city is well-known for the arts as well as a strong sense of community. The future Evergreen Line will travel through Port Moody, but maintain a bit of a distance from the well-established Newport Village and municipal centre. A new pattern of development is likely, following in the steps of new residential construction in neighbouring Coquitlam. The Station is a striking residential development with 106 condominiums and citihomes, offered by Aragon Properties. Located at the corner of St. Johns Street and Moody Street, the name indicates the proximity to Port Moody Central station. Additional commuter ease is provided by the nearby West Coast Express, and Rocky Point Park provides a walking-distance afterhours spot to relax and meet up with friends. “Aragon is building in Port Moody because we can see how livable the city will be with the addition of the Evergreen Line. We chose The Station’s location to be close to transit, and know that many other new developments will follow,” says Ameet Johal of Aragon Properties. “New home owners who jump ahead of the curve along with us are very likely to see the increase in the value of the homes once the rapid transit line opens.” The Tri-Cities will be changing shape in the months ahead, and residents will be the fortunate recipients of new options for home ownership. In this case, the time seems right to get aboard.

Amanti on Welcher Where Small Town Charm Encounters Urban City Living

ugging the Fraser and Pitt Rivers, Port Coquitlam (known also as simply, “PoCo”) exemplifies the easy access to nature and laid-back lifestyle that has become synonymous with BC. Yet even as this picturesque riverside community enjoys its growth spurt, it remains true to its strong environmental commitment and friendly neighborhood feel.

Residents who work in downtown Vancouver will find PoCo a short commute away. Most take advantage of the Westcoast Express commuter rail, which links the city with the SkyTrain, SeaBus and other transportation through the downtown Waterfront Station. At just 27 km east of Vancouver, those who do choose to drive will find it easily accessible.

Lacking for nothing embodied by its larger neighbors, PoCo continues Back at home, nature lovers will be thrilled to find the breathtaking to draw newcomers every year. Amanti, a charming new development Traboulay PoCo trail, as well as Colony Farm and a host of other on Welcher Avenue, is being brought to the city by the same team who playgrounds and sports courts easily accessible from home by designed and built the wildly successful Avanti on Shaughnessy.

These 28 Condominium units will no doubt appeal to both first-time homebuyers and young families, as well as to those wishing to downsize. Bright, airy interiors are created by high ceilings and oversized windows, together with spacious, open floor plans. This homebuilder has also put great care into finishings and appliances with smart details such as quartz countertops, granite tile backsplashes, polished chrome fixtures, and spa-inspired bathroom designs featuring large soaker tubs. Gourmet inspired kitchens will help channel the inner chef of those who love to cook; and home life extends onto roomy balconies, or terraces for those on the ground floor. All this, of course, while staying true to a style those in BC will appreciate as being uniquely West Coast. 24 New Homes Magazine Jan 30 – Feb 27, 2015 |

With so many directives aimed at responsible development, schools, and other necessary resources such as family clinics and dentists, PoCo is a sure bet for those looking to settle into a thriving, stable community.

Evolve Condo Living at the Height of Urban Convenience

urrey City Centre neighbourhood has always been easy to get to, thanks to SkyTrain’s Expo Line. The light rapid transit system stretches across this vibrant and rapidly growing community, from the Gateway station to Surrey Central and over to King George. And now, more than ever, it is time to come over to Surrey City Centre and take another look at this completely revitalized area.

Students and young professionals are out and about in the Central City neighbourhood, whether headed to class, to the library or community centre, to the new municipal hall, or enjoying some shopping or a local microbrew at Central City Brewers & Distillers. Evolve is likely to be on their map as well: these condo homes by WestStone Group offer an unbeatable opportunity to get into home ownership.

First stop: look up, look way up. Picture a striking, 35-story building “Evolve homes start at $93,900, and are ideal for first-time buyers, that is right in the centre of this live-work-play community.

Evolve’s Presentation Centre is now open to visitors, and is located at 13328 104th Avenue in Surrey. For more information, visit www.evolvecondos.com or call 604.497.0102.

Traditionalists can visit the Presentation Centre in person and view three fully furnished show suites, but chances are good that many younger generation students and professionals will be conducting their own tours. The area is home to multiple post-secondary institutions, including Simon Fraser University’s Surrey campus and other private institutions, located in the Central City Tower. Innovation Boulevard stretches from Surrey Central south to Surrey Memorial Hospital, and offers high-tech opportunities for students and professionals to contribute to healthcare research. 40 New Homes Magazine Jan 30 – Feb 27, 2015 |

VANCOUVER, B.C. – It was a typical year for the Metro Vancouver housing market in certain respects. The region’s home sale and listing totals for 2014 both rank fifth when compared against the past 10 years of activity, while home prices increased. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that total sales of detached, attached and apartment properties in 2014 reached 33,116, a 16.1 per cent increase from the 28,524 sales recorded in 2013, and a 32.3 per cent increase over the 25,032 residential sales in 2012.

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver ends the year at $638,500. This represents a 5.8 per cent increase compared to December 2013.

“Detached homes continue to be the most sought after property type in our market,” Harris, said. “Detached homes in Metro Vancouver have increased 8.1 per cent in value over the last 12 months while townhome and condominium properties have increased 4.5 and 3.5 per cent over the same period.”

The number of residential properties listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver increased 2.4 per cent in 2014 to 56,066 compared to the 54,742 properties listed in 2013. Looking back further, last year’s total represents a four per cent decline compared to the 58,379 residential properties listed for sale in 2012.

Residential property sales in Greater Vancouver totalled 2,116 in December 2014, an increase of 8.3 per cent from the 1,953 sales recorded in December 2013 and a 15.9 per cent decline compared to November 2014 when 2,516 home sales occurred.

“While home buyer and seller activity created balanced market conditions within the region, we also experienced some upward pressure on home prices over the course of the year,” Ray Harris, REBGV president said.

New listings for detached, attached and apartment properties in Greater Vancouver totalled 1,888 in December 2014. This represents a 1.7 per cent increase compared to the 1,856 units listed in December 2013 and a 37.4 per cent decline
