White Rock: a seaside community that’s beloved by people who live here and sought after by those who don’t. Strolling the famous White Rock Promenade, browsing the city’s eclectic array of art galleries and family-run boutiques, or sharing a meal with friends in one of the many restaurants are traditional joys in every season.

So, it’s no wonder Altus is turning heads and capturing hearts among homebuyers looking for something special in the place they choose to call home. “This is such a beautiful community,” says Stan Wong, finance director with Oviedo Properties. “And our location opposite the Peace Arch Hospital at Russell and Finlay means you’re walking distance to all the shops and amenities of Uptown district and Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, yet because you’re surrounded by single-family homes, it still feels tranquil and relaxing.”

All About Lifestyle

On schedule for move-in later this spring, Altus is thoughtfully designed to create an engaged, luxurious lifestyle. Interior features include an entertainment-sized island often with display shelving and wine storage, custom millwork throughout, and plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows to fill your home with natural light. Naturally, since savouring the great outdoors is a treasured part of our West Coastlifestyle, every Altus home includes a patio space with a natural gas hook up for your BBQ.

“We also focused on providing amenities people will actually use,” Stan says. “Swimming pools, for example, are extremely expensive to maintain and have a low margin of usage. Instead, we’ve provided things like a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a fireside lounge with pool table and caterer’s kitchen, an expansive deck with outdoor kitchen, even a dedicated dog wash because we want to look after the many buyers who include four-footed friends in their family.”

He adds that as online shopping continues to proliferate, it’s become essential to have a secure parcel delivery room. At Altus, this new necessity has been taken one step farther with a full-time concierge to not only ensure parcels are safely stowed until the owner gets home, but to also look after a myriad of other daily tasks.

And how’s this for an environmentally savvy bonus? “We’re the first residential development in Canada to provide access to EV charging stations for 100 percent of our owners,” Stan says. “Every parking stall comes equipped with its own charging station, so you’re never waiting for someone else to finish.” Plus, for the many people who prefer two wheels to four, there’s the peace of mind that comes with secure bike storage.

Altus offers 126 homes above street- level retail — including a family-run, artisan coffee shop —and a second level of legal and medical services. Presentation centre is open Monday through Thursday by appointment or weekends between noon and 5 p.m. at 1589 Maple Street. Be sure to ask how you can secure your home for just five percent down.
