ELLE RICHMOND
Susan and Paul, both professionals in their early thirties, own a condominium in Richmond but were looking for something larger. The couple checked out a few new developments as well as older townhouses around Richmond. When they saw Elle Richmond they were sold. “First, we loved the location … it is within walking distance to the Canada Line, which is convenient for us since we both work in downtown Vancouver,” Susan says. “But what made Elle stand out to us was its boutique style high-end finishes and touches. In addition, we love the fact that there are only a few units per floor. It makes the building feel exclusive,” she says, adding they bought a two bedroom home. Elle’s location and sophisticated interiors is echoed often by buyers. It is rare to find property in Richmond’s city centre, one block from Richmond Centre, minutes to Brighouse Canada Line station and the Richmond Public Market. Elle Richmond is a collection of 60 residences in the heart of one of the most vibrant neighbourhoods in Richmond. The beautifully appointed homes feature one,
two and three bedrooms, ranging in size from 550 to 1,150 square feet, and three sub penthouses and two penthouses. In addition to its prime location, the exclusive 15-storey contemporary design of glass, metal and concrete tower is sure to become the address to live in Richmond. Located just a stroll to Minoru Park and all of the urban amenities one needs, it’s easy to see why Elle Richmond is already garnering praise. In fact, more than 70 per cent of the homes are already sold, including all of the one bedroom condominiums. “These condominiums will be truly gorgeous and with only five units per floor, they offer great privacy,” says Matthew Ng, Vice President of development Regent International. “They will have the look and feel of a condo in Yaletown or Coal Harbour.” You couldn’t ask for finer finishes: premium Miele stainless steel appliance package, Italian kitchen cabinetry with stunning quartz countertops, artisan finishes, air conditioning throughout, expansive top-of-theline windows, up to 8”8’ ceilings in living areas, spa-inspired bathrooms with quartz counters, top-of-the-line hardware through-
out and contemporary design palette to soothe you after a long day at work. To entertain in lavish style on those balmy summer evenings or cool fall days, each home features a generous balcony and terrace space – some as large as 1,000 square feet. The two penthouses will have their own private oversized rooftop patio complete with an outdoor kitchen. For the green thumb, the podium level will be home to an outdoor garden, which will incorporate garden rental patches. In addition, residents will enjoy the social lounge with a fully equipped state-of-the-art gym. Considering the unprecedented luxury, refined spaces and modern amenities, Elle Richmond is more than just a home, it’s a lifestyle choice. The location and the residences make this a rare opportunity to buy into a building that will boast old world elegance with all of the modern luxury you expect. Prices start (for a two bedroom) at $468,900. Secure your place at Elle Richmond today. For more information or to register, visit www.ellerichmond.com or call 604-273-1313. Completion is slated for fall 2017.
