Back To The Future Six-Storey Wood Frame Construction Comes of Age… Again
I
t’s been more than half a decade since British Columbia gave the green light for six-storey wood frame construction. Although the new building code raised plenty of eyebrows – and even some ire – when it was introduced in 2009, today an increasing number of developers are embracing the opportunities it creates. One early adopter was Adera, a Vancouver-based developer long known for its commitment to cutting-edge green building techniques. Adera’s Sail at UBC was the first true six-storey wood frame residence on campus. It was awarded gold for Best Low-Rise Residential in Vancouver/ North Shore at the Urban Development Institute’s 2014 Awards for Excellence as well as Best Multi-Family LowRise Development in BC at the 2013 Georgie Awards. The company’s newest UBC project, Prodigy, is well under construction and sales are brisk.
More Bang for the Buck So what’s the appeal of wood? For most homebuyers, a prime consideration is the affordability factor. “A six-storey concrete building will typically cost an additional $60 to $70 per square foot when compared to an equivalent suite in a woodframe building — which can add up very quickly,” said Al Poettcker, CEO and president of UBC Properties Trust (UBCPT). “Wood frame is an excellent

way to gain 50 per cent more density without significantly changing the final cost to the buyer.” He added that wood frame buildings provide an interesting aesthetic benefit. “Six-storey wood frame buildings are not allowed to have any combustible materials on the façades,” he said. “So developers use materials such as brick, metal or fibre cement siding like HardiPlank. Often when people stand outside, they can’t tell it’s a wood frame building.”
Capilano neighbourhood – has introduced advanced acoustic technology to reduce sound transmission even more. “People often think a concrete building is quieter than wood frame,” said Eric Andreasen, Adera’s vice president of marketing and sales. “In fact, an independent sound engineer conducted field tests and confirmed this new system has made The Shore the highest performing wood frame building in the province – probably in Canada – equal to or even better than concrete.”
Quiet Time “Because the weight of two extra storeys requires more support, there is a lot more wood mass in a six-storey wood frame,” Poettcker said. “So these buildings tend to be quieter.” Taking this concept a step further, Adera’s newest six-storey wood frame – The Shore in North Vancouver’s

Safe and Sustainable Michael Geller, architect, developer and well-known advocate for innovation in housing, acknowledges that when the legislation was first introduced, many had concerns about wood’s shrinkage over time. “People wondered if it would be exacerbated

by adding two extra floors,” he says. “Now we’re seeing ever increasing use of pre-fab joists and laminated wood products, so it’s no longer an issue.” As a bonus, many of these products also reduce waste because they are made from young, renewable wood. And here’s something many consumers aren’t aware of – but should be. A five- or six-storey residential building is subject to stricter fire suppression regulations than a building of four storeys or less. “Fires rarely happen during construction,” Poettcker stressed. “But developers have definitely responded with stricter protocols to deal with this outside possibility.”
Vision and History Geller said he’s thrilled with the rapidly increasing number of sixstorey wood frame buildings now found throughout the Lower Mainland. “It is a testament to the legitimacy of this construction approach that Ontario has recently copied BC by allowing six-storey wood frame construction,” he said. “People have forgotten that many of Vancouver’s original buildings were six-storey, heavy timber construction – just walk through neighbourhoods like Gastown and you’ll see them still there. So you could say it’s like we’re going back to the future.”

IT STARTS WITH VISION. REMEMBER YALETOWN’S TRANSFORMATION? When Yaletown began it was just a few residential towers. Imagine if Urban Fare and Starbucks were there from the start. River District Town Centre will launch as a complete neighbourhood, with retail, restaurant, residences, parks and playgrounds. Now is your chance to become part of this new neighbourhood—built from the ground up on the last section of Vancouver’s waterfront.

KERRISDALE GARDENS IS IN THE HEART OF ONE OF THE CITY’S MOST DISTINGUISHED NEIGHBOURHOODS Real estate in Vancouver’s tony Westside is hard to come by. One of the most exciting and luxurious Boutique Developments to be built in the heart of this prestigious neighbourhood is Kerrisdale Gardens. In one of the best postal codes on Vancouver’s Westside, Kerrisdale Gardens is an exquisite collection of 27 Designer Residences, featuring two bedroom terraced suites and one bedroom, den and flex space condominiums. Behind the Kerrisdale Gardens are the award-winning European-influenced designers from Riesco & Lapres. “For years, Riesco & Lapres has been beautifying the homes of Kerrisdale residents in ways that speak directly to the heart,” says Charan Sidhu of Otezs Project Marketing. “They know the subtleties of what makes a home fit in this stunning neighbourhood.” In addition to its prime location, you couldn’t ask for finer finishes: nine foot
ceilings (10 foot in the penthouses), engineered hardwood flooring, luxurious wool blend carpeting, custom millwork, expansive windows to bring lots of natural light in, European-inspired epicurean kitchens and Zen-inspired bathrooms. The kitchens feature custom designed cabinetry, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, including a Fhiaba fully integrated refrigerator, marble countertops with ¾ edge finish and under-the-cabinet puck lighting. “While many people are currently downsizing from their large single family homes to more convenient one-level living, the suites here have been designed with that in mind,” Sidhu says. “We often hear from downsizers that they don’t want to compromise their lifestyle, especially when guests are coming. Inviting people for dinner, family and friends, many condos lack a proper dining area. This feature has been incorporated into many of the
homes without needing to entertain the highest priced or largest unit.” One of its most unique and sought-after features are the gardens on the second floor. This quiet and enchanting private oasis offers incredible outdoor space for the residences that face into this courtyard, of which there are only two left. Truly, this is one of the best outdoor havens you will find in a condominium building. The discriminating people who have already purchased a home in Kerrisdale Gardens have boasted about the access to some of the province’s top schools, both public and private, the walkability of the neighourhood and the penthouses with private garages in the underground. Each homeowner can feel safe knowing the four-storey building offers two levels of secure gated underground parking, plenty of secured storage lockers and ample bike storage. Convenience continues with two elevators for residents to
access their homes. As one of the oldest and most distinguished neighbourhoods in Vancouver you will find plenty of amenities including transit, top rated schools and recreational opportunities, all within easy walking or driving distance. Then there’s high-fashion to patisseries, gourmet cheeses to European décor, including such popular spots as Secret Garden for afternoon tea and neighbourhood favourite, the Red Onion Neighbourhood Grill. These elegant, single-family home inspired residences must be seen to be fully appreciated. The sales centre, located at 2128 West 40th Ave., Vancouver, is open by private appointment only. With only 14 available, these condominiums won’t last. Your brand new home will be move-in ready in Spring 2015.
