Residents of Township Commons will be close to it all
Services and amenities will be near at hand, while a clubhouse will make for a ‘true gathering spot’ on site
One of the great benefits of master-planned village-style residential developments such as Township Commons by Kingdom Canada is that, if properly executed, they truly feel like selfcontained communities — a village within a village, so to speak.
The added advantage of Township Commons is that it is also located smack in the middle of the Township of Langley municipal district, meaning residents have instant access to an even greater range of community amenities.
Township Commons consists of low-rise condominiums and townhouses combined with spacious three-level city homes, all grouped cozily together and providing a wonderful visual diversity of rooflines and architectural textures.
The village theme of Township Commons also ensures plenty of people activity, thanks to commercial services located at street level fronting 66th Avenue, along the length of the two condominium buildings, and a clubhouse fondly referred to as “Town Hall”, anchoring the eastern border of the community, featuring a kitchen, fitness centre and much more.
Township Commons was so named for a good reason: it is literally just across the road from the Township of Langley’s city hall complex, which includes the local RCMP detachment and public library, the epicentre of a community that has grown to exude a distinct urban vibe, but retains its friendly rural appeal by being situated between acres of unspoiled farmland, stables, and parks and urban amenities of every kind.
While the city hall complex immediately south is flanked by upscale retail stores, Township Commons residents need only cross the street to the west to access one of Langley’s most popular shopping hubs: a concentration of big brands such as a SaveOn-Foods, London Drugs, Best Buy, Walmart Superstore, Home Depot, plus restaurants and coffee shops. “The location really is a key factor,” says Margot Jay, licensed sales manager at Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing Ltd. “Plus, the Langley’s Willowbrook Town Centre and retail core are just minutes away.”
Of Township Commons’ 211 residences, 78 are traditional townhomes ranging from two to four bedrooms, while the 120 condominiums range from oneto three-bedroom units. As for the city homes, Jay describes them as “three-storey residences that each have their own private garage within the underground, yet have private direct access to their beautiful living spaces on all three floors, with the master bedroom occupying the entire third level, offering the ultimate retreat.”
The diverse building types at Township Commons have been carefully arranged and oriented, with a stepped-back design in order for the decks to provide great views of the surrounding neighbourhood, as well as to enhance the overall visual appeal.
Award-winning Portico Design Group (which took inspiration for The Grand in Richmond from grand penthouse living in Asia, and created the provocative, Eurostyle flats for Union in downtown Victoria) is responsible for the interiors of Township Commons. Among their many distinctions is a kitchen option that has never before been seen in the residential marketplace. “For those who choose, there is a new all-black kitchen with Shaker-style cabinets and bright warm quartz countertops,” says Jay.
The clubhouse’s name of Town Hall aptly describes its function. “It’s a true gathering spot for residents,” says Jay. “In addition to a kitchen and fitness room, there is a flex room and an entertainment area, perfect for families and guests, or individuals who want a break from their daily routine.”
This degree of care in residential planning is typical of Kingdom, a real estate company that has earned global respect for being a first-class community builder, and has made a name for itself in Metro Vancouver for high-end single-family, townhome and condo projects in Richmond and Burnaby.
Township Commons will appeal to a wide range of buyers, from first-time homeowners to those wanting to downsize; and as such, Jay is expecting a high degree of response as pre-sales begin.
“I would urge people to register now in order to become a VIP and take advantage of the best prices,” she says. “Township Commons is rapidly shaping up to a limitedtime lifestyle opportunity.”
