Spectacular views, flexible form of housing in the British Properties
Semi-detached executive residences designed to appeal to a range of occupants
For generations, the British Properties has been regarded as Metro Vancouver’s ultimate address, an exclusive community where homes are built on terraced sites on the side of the North Shore slopes, featuring jaw-dropping panoramic views of the city skyline and English Bay.
But now, the company that developed the British Properties is building new residences in the community in a substantially different fashion, as evidenced in Mulgrave Park, a new release of six semi-detached executive homes with expansive south-facing terraces, ranging in size from 2,850 to 2,935 square feet.
Mulgrave Park is part of British Pacific Properties’ commitment to develop homes with a smaller footprint and to retain more green space. “With this latest edition of homes at Mulgrave Park, we’re offering all of the value of our past communities – the views, the spacious interiors, the top-quality finishes – in a semidetached format,” says British Pacific Properties’ president Geoff Croll. “I like to think of them as British Properties homes at Lower Lonsdale prices.”
Mulgrave Park is a private enclave nestled in over 10 acres of parkland. A pedestrian path connects to Mulgrave School, considered one of the finest learning institutions in B.C.
And of course, the proximity of British Properties to the Upper Levels Highway offers surprising convenience, whether it is via the direct conduit to Whistler and other ski destinations or Vancouver’s downtown core. “You are literally 12 minutes to the ski hills and 12 minutes to the beach or shopping – whatever your preference,” says Croll.
British Pacific Properties designed the Mulgrave Park community with a variety of housing types to accommodate many lifestyles — some homes with empty-nesters and downsizers in mind, and some for young families. Indeed, these new semidetached homes with their private elevators, rooftop patios, small yards and other features are ideal for the empty-nester/downsizer demographic.
But Croll and his team soon realized the flexibility of this latest release would attract other buyers too: “For example, you can convert one level to a lock-off suite for rental, extended family or caregiver purposes, plus the threelevel residences mean families can let their children play on one level while they enjoy peace on another floor, making them attractive for young families as well.”
No attention to detail or quality is being spared in the construction of Mulgrave Park. The homes feature Miele appliances in the kitchens; stone-tile floors, walls and mosaics in the bathrooms; and luxurious carpets and large dressing rooms in the master bedrooms.
The decks and terraces feature low-maintenance concrete pavers and decorative lighting, and every home is outfitted with extensive safety and security systems.
Croll regards Mulgrave Park as an exciting new evolution of the British Properties. “We anticipate that construction on this latest collection of homes will begin in early 2018 with a move-in date targeted for spring of 2019,” he says.
