Timber House: Port Royal Village’s Grand Finale

By NextHome Staff

It’s been more than 25 years in the making. Once a sawmill, today Port Royal Village in New Westminster has evolved into a friendly, diverse community where neighbours greet each other by name. It’s common to see silver-haired residents sharing gardening tips with curious teens, and spontaneous games of street hockey are a regular summertime occurrence.

If you’ve dreamed of calling this riverfront community home, here’s some news you won’t want to miss. Timber House, the final release of homes is now selling, and make no mistake, they’re like nothing you’ve seen before.

Comprised of 87 move-in-ready condominiums plus two-storey cityhomes and lofts, these homes are situated around a courtyard that has the ambience of a lovingly cared for secret garden straight out of the pages of a fairy tale.

From the street, Timber House’s modular, grey and white architecture introduces a distinctive, eye-catching visual and a statement of modern elegance—five- and six-storey buildings that are proud to have a character all their own. And that’s just the beginning.

Arrival is always a celebration at Timber House. Thanks to exterior walkways and a creative outlook, every home boasts its own covered entry, many with space for seating and flowers, just like a front porch of a single-family house. It’s a feature you simply don’t find in the average multi-family community but then, there’s nothing average about Timber House.

Once inside, there’s an immediate feeling that industrial chic just joined forces with a Whistler chalet. “Come grab a hot chocolate or latté and cozy down with the latest bestseller,” it seems to say.

Giving a new twist to feature walls, Aragon chose to leave the mass timber walls, some soaring 20 ft. high, exposed wherever possible. The effect is, in a word, stunning, as the wood’s natural beauty is allowed to shine. And here’s a bonus: mass timber is a durable, renewable building material that sequesters one tonne of carbon per cubic meter, is more stable than dimensional lumber, and arrives prefabricated, so there’s virtually no onsite waste, which is good for both you and the environment.

Kitchens, always the heart of an Aragon home, have an inviting, entertainment-forward vibe. With contemporary, matte black hardware, integrated Italian appliances, and storage cleverly tucked into every nook and cranny, these sophisticated culinary hubs are ready for the most adventurous chef. Islands are seriously long; many are over 9 ft. with waterfall edges and plenty of drawers facing the cooking space.

Continuing a long-standing Aragon tradition, private outdoor spaces are luxuriously large, many easily double what you’d typically find in a condo. Ground floor homes not only feature a tiled area for a barbecue and lawn chair but a section of lawn as well. And if watching the sunset while savouring an après work cocktail is on your list of favourite activities, get set to be totally wowed by Timber House’s rooftop decks.

Don’t miss this final opportunity to become part of Port Royal Village and savour the best of riverside living. Home prices start at $549,900. The Timber House Presentation Centre and four Designer Display Homes are open 12 to 5 p.m. Saturday through Wednesday at 102 – 310 Salter Street in New Westminster.
