East Vancouver’s Grandview-Woodland is a neighbourhood full of eclectic charm and character. The opening of the Vancouver-New Westminster interurban railway in September 1891, transformed the area and people began to move in. Today, it is undergoing yet another exciting transformation.
It is in this historic neighbourhood that local developers Omicron and Lotus Capital are unveiling Linx – a boutique six-storey residential building just a short walk to Commercial Drive and Commercial-Broadway SkyTrain Station.
“City growth is planning around transit / SkyTrain and having easy access to two SkyTrain Stations (Expo and Millennium Lines) is a rarity in Vancouver,” says Zigelman. “It’s one of the reasons we named the project Linx. It’s all about connection to both community and transit.” The community plan is not meant to change the long-established neighbourhood, rather to help meet the demand of a greatly underserved housing type in the area. The goal is to bring more multi-family communities to the area, along with the local families that will call this neighbourhood home.
“Linx’s is the one of first development that is part of the Grandview-Woodland Community Plan,” says David Zigelman, Principal at Framework Real Estate Group. “This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the growth and transformation of this burgeoning area.”

Linx is a limited collection of 54 one, two and three-bedroom urban residences, including penthouses with private rooftop patios – a perfect compliment to this authentic neighbourhood. From the moment you walk in the door, you realize this newest development is a great blend of style and function.
The interiors are just as impressive as the exterior. Conceived by award-winning interior design firm Portico, each home showcases two colour schemes to choose from, over height ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, engineered vinyl flooring throughout, soaker tub style tubs and generous-sized balconies.
If you like your kitchen with a place for everything then, Linx is perfect for you. The intelligently designed kitchens come with an integrated European appliance package, gas cooktop, wood or charcoal accent features, open shelving and quartz countertops.

For a building of this size, there is an exorbitant number of amenities, such as beautifully landscaped rooftop deck with BBQ, dining area and firepit lounge, children’s’ play area, community gardens as well as a co-working lounge.

“Realizing this is a biker’s community and Linx’s close proximity to the Central Valley Greenway, the developer put in a private bike elevator into the parkade with access to secure bike rooms,” says Zigelman.
With a high walkable score, Linx is steps from all the fabulous independent shops and restaurants The Drive is renowned for. Linx is also a few minutes walk to Trout Lake, a tranquil oasis in the city with its popular Farmers Market, and a seven-minute walk to Commercial-Broadway SkyTrain Station offering easy access to Skytrain and 99 B-Line to UBC and Downtown Vancouver. For young families, it is a short walk to Queen Victoria Annex, Laura Secord Elementary school, and Vancouver Technical Secondary.
