Unfortunately our-just-the-factsma’am introduction to new-home projects sometimes fails us at Westcoast Homes — and, therefore, you the reader. There were 213 homes for sale in West. The starting price was $219,900.
As of this week, about 80 homes are still for sale, meaning the project is 60-per-cent sold. The starting price of the remaining properties is $299,900. (The smaller apartments went first.)
“Buyers from all corners of the Lower Mainland have begun to discover Highgate Village, and hundreds have chosen to call this vibrant new community home because it is just that — a real community,” Paulette Cassis of Bosa Properties says of the robust sales.
“Many have told us they fell in love with HighGate Village because of the convenience that our urban village provides. A varied selection of shops and services are now open, including Save-On Foods, Starbucks and Shoppers Drug Mart.
“Over 3 1 /2 acres of green space will soon adorn the village, and, of course, our homes are some of the most affordable concrete homes available in the Lower Mainland. … While a range of designs are still available, we’re encouraging buyers to visit us soon before the project is sold out”.
West is the fourth, and last, residential tower Bosa Properties will build in the HighGate Village community that it created on the site of the old Middlegate shopping mall.
In fact, the refurbished retail component of HighGate Village is one of the neighbourhood amenities that other developers are using to attract newhome buyers to their projects.
The West show home is located in one of the completed towers.
‘‘With its sweeping western exposure our two-bedroom-and-den display suite offers a preview of what you can expect at West,” Cassis says.
“The West homes will enjoy a prime location, on the southwestern corner of HighGate Village.
‘‘The homes, accordingly, will feature breathtaking panoramic views, in all directions; west to downtown, east over the parks in the neighbourhood; north to the Coast Mountains; and south to Georgia Strait and beyond.”
