What’s Happening in I
t’s one of Vancouver’s most charming neighbourhoods, a friendly community that many say lingers long in the heart. In the days before Vancouver became a single entity, Kerrisdale was the seat of government for the District of Point Grey – the original City Hall now reinvented as the Kerrisdale Community Centre. A century later, it’s a neighbourhood in transition – especially with the recent acquisition of the Arbutus rail corridor by the city – and some say that’s none too soon. “There’s been a development moratorium for nine years – nine years the City would not allow a rental building to be torn down and rebuilt,” says David Goodman, principal of HQ Real Estate Services. “It’s Kafkaesque not to allow an old, tired and inefficient building to be replaced.”
Trouble with Nimbyism Predictably, not everyone is in favour of changes. “No Ryerson Rezone” signs are springing up on the majority of surrounding single-family lawns, protesting the possibility of a 10- to 12-storey building on land the

venerated church recently sold. Graffiti regularly appears on development/rezoning signage. One developer reports receiving a voicemail that was so threatening the police were alerted. But despite the apparent nimbyism, there’s still an undeniable buzz of excitement and enthusiasm running through the ’hood. “Kerrisdale is probably the best part of the West Side,” asserts Bill Szeto, president of Oakwyn Marketing. “It’s got terrific walkability, it’s close to parks and some of the city’s best schools, and people love its distinctive commercial village centre.”
Demand for Condos Since the majority of available apartments are rental, real estate agents report that both the resale and presale condominium markets are sizzling. Especially appealing to downsizers and well-heeled young professionals are the larger luxury condos springing up along West and East Boulevards or the section of Arbutus street north of 41st Avenue. Not surprisingly, that’s driv-

Kerrisdale? ing price increases. “When we launched Kerrisdale Gardens three years ago, the pro forma pricing was $750 a square foot. Near the end, prices were close to $900 a square foot,” Szeto says, adding most sales were to end-users who aren’t heavily mortgaged or are mortgage free. Cressey Development Group has been a leader in defining the new Kerrisdale, with Sterling now under construction on West Boulevard between 48th and 49th. Lavishly appointed with lots of marble and floorplans that start at 1,200 square feet, these residences are all about lifestyle, according to Hani Lammam, Cressey’s executive vice-president. “These buyers are not going to compromise. The reason we’ve done so well is that we are catering specifically to what this market segment wants – luxurious, well-appointed, large suites.” Cressey has also purchased the adjacent block and Lamman anticipates that when the McKinnon project comes to market, it will also sell out rapidly. Still, there’s a clear commitment to maintaining Kerrisdale’s

unique look and feel. Bogner Development Group recently sold their rezoned and shovel-ready property on East Boulevard to another developer who will be required to preserve the façade of a much-loved, heritage church. In the 6100 block, a development application for a fivestorey, mixed-use building also includes restoring the façade of a two-storey commercial building from the middle of last century.
Rebirth of Arbutus Corridor Kerrisdale’s appeal got yet another boost on March 7, 2016, when a longstanding, often bitter dispute between City and CP Rail came to an end with the announcement that Vancouver will purchase a nine-kilometre section rail between False Creek and Marine Drive for $55 million. After almost 16 years, Kerrisdale residents, like many others along the route, were finally able to let out a sigh of relief. Terri Clark, co-ordinator of the Kerrisdale BIA, says “The board is thrilled to see a proposal will create an amenity where you’ll be able to walk as well as bike. And if there is a trolley to Granville Island, that will be even better.”

PENNYFARTHING HOMES INTRODUCES
THE GRAYSON A
n award-winning local developer of high-end multi-family projects, Pennyfarthing Homes is once again turning its attention to the revitalization of the Cambie Street Corridor with its newest project – The Grayson. The Grayson is a six-storey concrete building offering a collection of 58 homes, from one-bedroom through to three bedrooms, including a townhome selection at Cambie Street and 26th Avenue. “We are committed to the redevelopment of the Cambie Street corridor and we couldn’t be happier with the location of The Grayson,” says Anthony Hepworth, president and CEO of Pennyfarthing Homes, a developer with five projects in the Cambie Corridor. “We are on the slope of the hill, so the views are truly spectacular.” With floor-to-ceiling windows and large outdoor patios, the upper floor residences at The Grayson deliver
360-degree vistas of Mount Baker, the North Shore Mountains and the Strait of Georgia. In another first, BLVD Marketing Group, which is in charge of marketing and sales for The Grayson, is excited to offer a new way to buy a home as they are constantly looking for innovative ways that push the boundaries of today’s real estate offerings. BLVD is now allowing buyers to purchase a new presale home from their computer. In partnership with Yongle Technologies, BLVD will provide prospective buyers the opportunity to go online and choose their home, colour scheme, upgrades, parking, storage and any other customizations they want through this new technology. “This front-of-the-line technology is advancing the purchasing process, ensuring a simplified and seamless online transaction,” says Shayna Macquisten, managing partner at BLVD
Marketing Group. Raymond Letkeman Architects Inc. is the firm behind the distinctive urban architecture, which incorporates a mixture of brick façade with expansive windows to convey timeless beauty. In addition, a courtyard walkway between the townhomes and condominiums features a children’s playground and access to garden walk-up units on the main floor. The four street-access townhomes can be reached from the courtyard as well as directly through the parkade. Conceived by interior designer Cristina Oberti, the interior of each residence is showcased by engineered hardwood floors throughout main living areas, energy-efficient air conditioning, overheight nine- and 10-foot ceilings within the Sub-Penthouse and Penthouse Collection, and kitchens with quartz countertops and premium integrated Bosch appliances. Over the past three decades, the
developer has built several multi-family projects on the Westside of Vancouver – most notably the Bennington House, Kitsilano Townhouses, Clipper and Harbour Cove located along False Creek. The Grayson is just steps away from the Canada Line for easy access to downtown Vancouver, Richmond and YVR. This prime Vancouver address offers plenty of amenities, including top-rated schools, shops and restaurants, all within easy walking or driving distance. Learn more about The Grayson and be one of the first to buy into what is a sought-after address along the Cambie Corridor. The Grayson’s grand opening is scheduled for May 28, and tentative occupancy is summer 2018. The Grayson sales centre and display home is located at 3373 Cambie Street, Vancouver. For more information, contact the sales team at 604-588-1907, email info@thegrayson.ca, or visit www.thegrayson.ca
