Urban flats on offer in a vibrant, evolving neighbourhood
The dream of owning your own home has become out of reach for countless people in the Lower Mainland, with more and more priced out of the housing market. Those wanting a place to call their own home need look no further: the opportunity is here and now at Venue, a collection of urban flats with a sense of community in a neighbourhood on the cusp on change.
With 141 homes ranging from studios to two-bedroom-plus dens, Venue is within walking distance to the Gateway SkyTrain station, with downtown Vancouver only a 35-minute ride away. It’s minutes from restaurants, pubs, shops, services and more. The neighbourhood is poised to grow and get better and better.
Not a single home is priced over $299,900.“It’s unbelievably exciting,” says Brandon Trent, with Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing.
“This is an incredible opportunity for first-time homebuyers. It’s also a lifestyle. Venue is about encouraging social interactions and celebrations, which act to create a sense of community for people.”
Consider the building’s expansive rooftop patio — over 2,100 square feet — with outdoor barbecues for summer grilling, a couple of fire pits to gather around and a beautifully landscaped multipurpose area for residents to do yoga or just hang out.
This breathtaking outdoor space is where you can read a book while the sun rises or have friends over to watch the sunset. From Venue, take a short stroll to SkyTrain and be downtown in just over half an hour for a hockey, soccer, or football game or to catch a concert or movie. Nearby is the Chuck Bailey Recreation Centre, the newly improved Surrey Memorial Hospital, Holland Park — be sure to check out the Fusion Festival in July, the ultimate music, food, and culture fest — Central City Brewing, Simon Fraser University and Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Whalley is on the cusp of change, and while it has had its bumps, residents know its future is bright. Trendsetting homeowners at Venue have the chance to be part of this flourishing neighbourhood at the ground level.
“We’re proud of Whalley,” Trent says. “It’s an area in transition, just the way other areas were in the past, whether it be East Village along East Hastings Street, Commercial Drive, Mount Pleasant, Yaletown, Kingsway … It goes on and on. “Surrey is poised to grow tremendously; there are over 1,000 coming to the city on a monthly basis,” he adds.
“In this growing city, we’ll see walkability improve and more commercial and residential developments. With population growth, the area is just going to get better and better.”
