Langley is emerging as one of the most sought-after communities in the Lower Mainland because of its blend of urban sophistication coupled with its rural, pastoral landscape.
In the heart of Langley is where one of the most respected builders in the province, Marcon, makes its home and its building Cornerstone North. Like its predecessor, Cornerstone North is built on a grassy landscaped totally gated podium, which means all of the homes are up off the street level, so the ground floor homes are extremely secure and private.
"This is the sister building to Cornerstone but it's slightly different," says Liz Anderson, partner at Key Marketing, who is overseeing sales for the development.
Built to the same high standards of the first building, Cornerstone North is a selection of 124 residence condominiums of one-, two- and two-bedroom plus den homes which will feature several upgrades that now come standardnine-foot ceilings, more natural light from the larger windows, soft-close cabinetry, 36-inch upper kitchen cabinets and side-by-side refrigerators with water and ice dispensers.
"Listening to previous and prospective buyers is something Marcon puts a lot of value in and many of those ideas were incorporated into Cornerstone North," says Anderson.
These contemporary West coast homes are distinguished by open interiors with high quality laminate flooring, sprawling windows to bring the outdoors in, and warmed on dreary rainy days by the cozy floating fireplaces. These elegant residences also include plenty of unexpected, upscale features that come standard in every homespa-styled bathrooms with a rain shower head and above-counter vessel sink and gourmet kitchens complete with a built-in wine rack, stainless steel appliances and under cabinet LED strip lighting.
From your new home, you can wake up to spectacular views of Golden Ears to the North and Mount Baker to the Southeast. Then imagine stepping out the door of your brand new upscale home for a short walk to coffee shops, restaurants, grocery shopping and fabulous little boutiques.
"Nearby, you'll also find some of your favourite restaurants and shops, like Earls, Browns, Willowbrook Mall, Safeway, and Costco," says Anderson. "In addition, lots of people are excited about Target, Mountain Equipment Co-op and Cactus Club Café coming soon."
Within a short drive, you have easy access to all major commuter routes Cornerstone North is also within a short distance to Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Newlands Golf and Country Club and three of the city's 40 parks.
A transplanted Vancouverite, Anderson chose Langley as the community to raise her two young children.
"The schools are fantastic in Langley and everything is so accessible from here," she says. "There's a great quality of life in Langley. And living here I also get to see first-hand how Marcon contributes to this community that they've been a part of for over 28 years. It's part of the fabric of the company and who they are."
Meanwhile, Cornerstone's classic four-storey design with a contemporary twist features timber detailing and stone turrets, will make you think you've just arrived at a mountain resort like Whistler.
Cornerstone North is attracting not only first time homebuyers, but the downsizers and urban professionals who seek beauty and superior finishes. People who have already bought into Langley's Cornerstone are pleasantly surprised at the sophisticated Vancouver urban look and feel of the condominium residences.
Marcon's trademark attention to detail is unmistakable; one need only to take in the details of the cabinetry, oversized patios or fenced yards, parking and storage locker, superior soundproofing and rain screen technology, to know that this is a unique offering. Not only has Marcon built a stellar reputation for constructing over 8000 superior homes3000 of which are in the Langley area but more importantly is recognized for standing behind what they deliver with their superior post-purchase Customer Care program.
With this reputation, it's no surprise that in a world where most condominium developments tend to complete a little later than expected, Marcon is ahead of schedule by nearly four months.
"Our completion date just moved up and we're now within 90 days of completion so the banks will secure even better rates for buyers," says Anderson.
If the high end finishes, location and great price isn't enough, Marcon has launched its Mortgage Subsidy Program as follows: one Bedroom (from $179,900) own from $491/month; one + Den (from $199,900) own from $549 / month and a two bedroom (from $239,900) own from $655 / month. Cornerstone North is truly defined by timeless elegance and homes designed for living.
