The big sell: The three-year-old Mayfair Place development was built by Polygon in a central Richmond location. A bonus with a building this young is that the remaining five- and 10-year warranties are still in effect (on the building envelope and structure, respectively). According to the developer’s website, the twobedroom air-conditioned homes at Mayfair Place were inspired by English Georgian-style row houses with traditional brick exteriors and a gatehouse design for the entrance. Residents have access to a private interior courtyard with landscaped gardens and lawns, as well as a clubhouse, outdoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi and exercise centre. The home has nine-foot ceilings, laminate flooring in the entry, living and dining areas, and carpet in the bedrooms. Elegant horizontal-grain cabinets grace the kitchen and bathroom alongside granite countertops and undermount sinks. The monthly maintenance fee is $298.53. There are no pet or rental restrictions.

The big sell: Buyers’ agent Mike Giesbrecht says his clients were attracted to this two-bedroom condo in Concord Pacific’s Spectrum 1 tower due to its proximity to Costco, T& T Supermarket and the Sky-Train station.
Also cited as a factor was the building’s amenities, which include a gym, indoor pool, hot tub, lounge and concierge. Rentals are allowed without any restrictions, so it also scored highly from an investment perspective. The interior has an open-concept living space, with dark laminate floors, a Europeanstyle kitchen with contemporary white cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, a glass backsplash, a built-in wine rack, and halogen lighting, and floor-to-ceiling windows that accentuate the home’s corner position and provide front-row views toward Rogers Arena, False Creek and Science World. The bathroom has a pocket door to make efficient use of the space. As well, there is a balcony off one of the bedrooms. The monthly maintenance fee is $364.31.
