Location, location, location. Besides a prime location on the corner of Buswell and Anderson, minutes from Richmond Centre, Minoru Park and the Brighouse Canada Line, stationsavvy home buyers also want contemporary yet sophisticated homes. That is what Richmond’s newest condominium development will deliver.
Welcome to ALFA, in the heart of downtown Richmond.
“Sales have been very strong and we still have a great selection available,” says Bill Szeto, president Oakwyn Marketing Ltd. “Everyone who has purchased a home says the same thing; the location offers that great convenience of being in downtown Richmond and yet it’s on a quiet street away from all the noise.”
Designed by award-winning architect Andrew Cheung, the 15-storey sleek concrete and glass tower takes a departure from what one might expect in a condominium building by stepping back from the street as it rises up to form a unique and dynamic shape.
ALFA is a collection of 111 thoughtfully appointed homes featuring one, two and three bedrooms, ranging in size from 516 to 1,572 square feet, including four penthouses, boasting either three bedrooms or three bedrooms and den.
These contemporary, open-concept interiors are distinguished by sleek wide plank engineered hardwood flooring throughout the main living area, sprawling windows to bring the outdoors in and 99 per cent UV blocking white roller blinds on all exterior windows.
The gourmet kitchens feature custom designed Italian cabinetry with white high gloss lacquer upper cabinets and textured wood laminate lower ones, high end Energy Star Bosch and Blomberg stainless steel appliance package, including a built-in French door refrigerator, composite stone countertops complimented by full height backsplash, and a waterfall style composite stone island with extended breakfast bar.
In partnership with Fortis BC, ALFA will have a state of the art geo-exchange heating and cooling system to create a comfortable living space with optimal efficiency and clean, sustainable energy in all of the homes. In addition, there are electric car charging stations and bike storage.
“We have spoken to many home owners who told us that energy efficient and green features are important to them,” adds Szeto. “So, we also added a beautifully landscaped rooftop terrace with lounge area and children’s play area to improve air quality and reduce storm water runoff while creating a beautiful outdoor oasis.”
In addition, residents will enjoy the social lounge as well as the fully equipped state-of-the-art gym. To entertain in style on those balmy summer evenings or cool fall days, each home features a generous balcony – some as large as 800 square feet.
Everything urbanites want such as schools, shopping centres, numerous restaurants including Kirin Seafood Restaurant, Shang Noodle House, Cactus Club and coffee shops, are within a short walk or drive.
For the outdoor and sports enthusiast there are four parks - Minoru, Lang, Brighouse and Garden City, Minoru Aquatic Centre and Richmond Ice Centre.
Nicely appointed new homes, with timeless beauty in a sought-after city centre address, starting from $343,900, are rare indeed. The ALFA sales centre and show home, 6940 No. 3 Road, Richmond, is open every day (except Friday) from noon to 5 p.m. For more information, call 604-276-2532 or visit www.liveatalfa.com. Tentative occupancy is slated for fall 2018.
