Looking for a new home? Start here.
R E A L
E S T A T E
W E E K L Y
A NEW LIFE AT TSAWWASSEN SHORES’ PELICAN COVE COMMUNITY S tacey and Brad Kahn spent months looking to buy a family home in a neighbourhood that would offer them a real sense of community for their two young sons. “We were renting a house in Steveston and for us to buy there was way too expensive,’ says Stacey Kahn. “A friend told us about Tsawwassen Shores so we drove out to check them out.” Within an hour, the young couple knew they’d found the right home for their young family. By the following weekend, they had purchased their first home. “We absolutely fell in love with the community feel,” she says, adding for such a high-quality home, the value was
outstanding. “We also really respected the reputation of Aquilini Development.” Besides waking up in the morning to the stunning ocean views, Kahn went on to say that the other big draw for them was the easy access to miles of sandy trails and dyke paths to walk or cycle along. After successfully selling out of Phase 3, Tsawwassen Shores unveils its newest project – Pelican Cove. This is a collection of 42 townhomes and 20 duplexes, ranging from 1,270 to 1,700 square feet, and starting at $589,900. Because this is leasehold land, there is no added GST and Pelican Cove is also exempt from the 15 per cent foreign buyer tax. “The interest in all of our first three
phases at Tsawwassen Shores was phenomenal,” says Mimi Chen, project manager at Rennie Marketing Systems. “Residents are thrilled with the new twokilometre, dog-friendly boardwalk that takes you right to the oceanfront.” The two- and three-storey homes homes are also located directly across from Tsawwassen Mills mall, a first-class indoor and outdoor shopping destination offering more than 180 stores, restaurants, entertainment, and office space. Everyday amenities such as Walmart, Canadian Tire
and Shoppers Drug Mart are just across the street. The residences are part of a 270-acre master-planned community, which includes residential homes, parks, schools and a Village Centre, offering future amenities such as cafes, shops and a library. Inside each contemporary, open-concept home are nine-foot ceilings in the main living areas, rich laminate wood flooring throughout, faux-wood blinds and sizeable storage space. Some of the duplexes also have a gas fireplace and double-height ceilings in the living room. The kitchens are beautifully appointed with shaker-style wood stained or flatpanel cabinetry, quartz countertops, an island or eating bar as well as a stainlesssteel appliance package with built-in microwave. Pelican Cove homes also offer a choice of three interior colour schemes, insulated tandem or double-car garage and backyard gas connection on the deck, ready for a barbecue, outdoor fireplace or patio heater. These new homes come from awardwinning developer Aquilini Development, a company with more than five decades in the industry and numerous accolades under its belt. “You are really buying a lifestyle and the value of these homes will only go up,” adds Chen. “Where else can a young family afford a home in the Lower Mainland in an already established neighbourhood like Tsawwassen?” Tsawwassen Shores presentation centre and townhome vignette, 1875 Tsawwassen Drive, are open daily from noon to 5pm, except Fridays. Completion date is anticipated for fall 2018. For more information about Pelican Cove, visit www.tsawwassenshores.com, email info@tsawwassenshores.com or call 604-943-6677
