The discovery of Chinatown has truly begun with the introduction of East, the Jameson Development Corp.’s new home community in the heart of Vancouver‘s cultural mosaic.
East, arising on Pender Street at the entrance to the Silk Road Route in the heritage-steeped neighbourhood, features an exclusive collection of 22 new one, two bedroom and two bedroom and den flats in a boutique style building. Designed by award-winning Walter Francl Architect Inc., East celebrates a vibrant urban lifestyle with an original architectural expression as the city’s real estate action pivots from False Creek into Chinatown.
The East community features secured floor access, an on-site caretaker, four rooftop gardens via quiet high-speed elevators and a private covered courtyard, your own forbidden city within-a-city. Complimented by architectural detailing and skybridges, East brings modern design to this historical neighbourhood.
The interiors are designed by mcFarlane Green Architecture and Design Inc. and start with nine-foot ceilings and stretch from there. Imagine the exposed concrete feature walls, the wide plank wood flooring, and the flexible floor plans with oversized sliding doors. The gourmet kitchens come with Terrazzo stone slab countertops, islands with bar seating and stainless steel appliances from Germany, including gas range and wall oven, Bosch dishwasher and even stacked washer and dryer. Terrazzo stone tiles highlight the bathrooms, which also feature contemporary vessel sinks with deck-mounted faucets and dual hand held and rain showerheads.
East is steps from the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Gardens, International Village, Tinseltown cinemas, T&T Supermarket, BC Place, GM Place, and of course, the numerous fresh food markets and restaurants of Chinatown.
“Chinatown is five minutes from coming back,” said Bob Rennie, of Rennie Marketing Systems, Vancouver‘s top-selling realtor, who is moving his company’s offices into a refurbished heritage building adjacent to East on Pender Street. Added Rennie: “There is something very satisfying in being part of the Chinatown restoration. The vibrancy of the neighborhood coupled by a new stream of respectful architecture is cultivating a new Vancouver lifestyle. This is a desirable area and we will see more migration into this amazing community.” East has only 22 homes, making it important for interested buyers to register early for the first chance at this outstanding investment opportunity. Prices start in the low $300,000 range. Previews will start this December so call for more information at 604-781-8189 or visit www. chinatowneast.com.
