It was eight years ago when the Grosvenor developer focused its formidable talents on creating South Point Exchange in South Surrey.
The long-term vision was to transform the district into a vibrant mixed-use neighbourhood with a blend of residences, shops and services.
South Point Exchange has now brought much-needed amenities into an area that was largely under-serviced. Major retailers such as Save-On-Foods, Canadian Tire and Staples anchor a massive shopping centre.
The High Street at South Point residential project is like a village within a community within a city. That village has a Whistler-esque streetscape, a village atmosphere and pedestrian-friendly walkways.
Within walking distance is every conceivable amenity: gourmet grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, a neighbourhood pub, and shops that sell fresh produce, fine wines, and the latest in home decor and fashion.
High Street consists of 88 suites in two four-storey buildings, and has strong architecture that was created by the award-winning firm of Rositch Hemphill and Associates, which used such materials as brick and Hardie Plank siding, along with such details as moulded cornices and rich wood trim. Lush landscaping complements this esthetic.
Interiors are airy and spacious, with free-flowing floor plans.
Kitchens feature six-piece professional appliance packages, stone countertops and rich wood cabinetry.
The bathrooms have oversized porcelain tile floors, marble countertops and designer tubs.
Downsizing can be a challenge for homeowners — especially when they’ve accumulated considerable in the way of possessions.
With that in mind, the sales team at High Street has compiled the following list to help condo-curious shoppers focus on the positive side of downsizing.
– Low-maintenance living: No yard work; the majority of home maintenance is taken care of by the strata.
– Lock-and-leave sensibility: The opportunity/freedom to come and go as you please (in other words, to travel).
– Perceived safety: Living within a community surrounded by neighbours, interphones, and elevators with electronic key-fob access.
– Single-level living: No more stairs to deal with; makes it easier to get around a home.
– Efficient use of space: The opportunity to take advantage of all the rooms in your home.
– NEW home: Many downsizes have been living in a single-family home for decades and don’t have the new appliances, gourmet kitchens and modern bathrooms that are offered at new communities like High Street.
– Affordability: The opportunity to bank some cash, live mortgage-free and spend money on the things you enjoy.
– Intimacy: Opportunity to reconnect and enjoy time with loved ones.
