In this episode of GREENLIGHT, we explore all the features and amenities this development has to offer and take a look at a stunning top-floor penthouse. Showcasing Solterra’s attention to detail and thoughtful design, this development shows why Solterra has won multiple awards and earned a reputation as a sought-after builder by prospective buyers.
Project analysis.
Solterra is passionate about every building they create, especially as a small, tight-knit team. “Because we're such a small tight-knit group behind the scenes, we take every nomination, every award that we've been honoured with over the past 23 years with so much pride,” says Leanne Rundle, Marketing and Creative Director at Solterra. “We take it as a reflection of our hard work, all those conversations, all those design meetings that we've had over the tenure of a building.”
Thoughtful design is at the heart of Solterra’s development philosophy. Every feature in Monaco has been selected to complement each other while providing an unparalleled living experience. And it shows. Monaco has won the following awards:
- 2026 CHBA National Awards Best Mid-to High-Rise Building – Gold
- 2026 Havan Awards
- Grand HAVAN – Best Residential Community: Multi-Family – Gold
- Best Multi-Family Condominium Unit – Gold
- Best New Kitchen: Multi-Family Production Home – Gold
- 2024 Havan Awards, Best New Kitchen – Gold
Not that awards are the primary focus of Solterra’s development goals. Instead, it’s the living experience of Homeseekers. “We don't design buildings with the intent or the goal that we're going to win awards,” says Rundle. “We just strive to create the best possible and beautiful building that we can at the time.”
That involves doing research on things beyond the building itself. Solterra took into account the lifestyles and community surrounding Monaco in White Rock. This seaside retreat boasts lots of unique shops and unparalleled water views. So each unit in Monaco gets some form of water view. Plus, the building’s amenities include a hobby room for residents to pursue passion projects and there’s even a putting green.
Solterra is also a fully-integrated homebuilder, so everything from design and construction to marketing are all under one roof. This tightly-integrated approach leads to high-quality results and further emphasizes the company’s commitment to craftsmanship and creating elevated living spaces.
That level of attention to detail is something Solterra values. “We pour so much into every single development,” says Rundle. “[We work on] one, two projects at a time so we can fully dive in and be committed 100% to one project at a time.” This allows everything in the building to feel like a natural extension of each other, with the units flowing seamlessly into the amenities spaces and the lobby.
“Every decision has a purpose, and we take that into consideration when we're designing each home,” says Rundle. “How the natural light moves through the space, how the kitchen functions, and how the building is set within the community itself.”
