Get ready Burnaby. It’s almost time. On Saturday, May 13th, at noon sharp, Ledingham McAllister will unveil the first two phases in their much-anticipated master planned community, Brentwood Gate. Two fully furnished display homes, a sparkling new presentation centre, and a bubbling, contagious excitement, this is a not-to-be-missed event from a master builder with 100 years of excellence and expertise behind them.
“Brentwood Gate is about to bring heart and soul back to the neighbourhood,” says an obviously delighted Manuela Mirecki, vice president of sales and marketing. “It’s going to have a completely different feel than most of the newer areas of Brentwood because we are paying homage to the way Burnaby used to be - an established, intimate community where people know each other. We’re not trying to be Yaletown or Kitsilano: we recognize that this is a lifestyle choice in its own right.”
ARTISTIC INSPIRATION
A celebration of the philosophy that life follows art, Brentwood Gate draws its inspiration from the artistic genius of the world-renowned Group of Seven painters. “Master artists see the world differently,” Manuela says. “We took that visionary spirit and used it to define this neighbourhood.”
The result is a cluster of seven buildings - six four-storey residences and a single 27-storey high-rise tower - each a tribute to the individual member it is named after. Features are definitely going to be fabulous. Cozy electric fireplaces, wood grain cabinetry, soaker tubs, spacious decks and patios - these home are fully loaded with all the stylish finishing details you’ve come to expect from Ledingham MacAllister.
In keeping with the sweeping beauty of the natural landscapes made famous in the Group of Seven’s paintings, Brentwood Gate will also be a very pedestrian friendly, very green neighbourhood with many large tree retention areas. Walking paths dotted with park benches will wander throughout the community perfect for private moments of reflection on nature’s beauty.
Even better, the site’s sloped topography means many of these homes will enjoy spectacular views. MacDonald House, the first of the four-storey low-rises to be released, will back onto a preservation area that will be retained as permanent greenspace. Fitzgerald, the community’s only high-rise, will offer some truly breathtaking vistas of the North Shore mountains, Vancouver skyline, Metrotown, and even Mount Baker. No matter which home you choose, there’s going to be plenty to see and enjoy.
LIFE AT THE CENTRE
And just in case all this isn’t enough, Brentwood Gate offers convenience with a capital “C”. The SkyTrain is only a short walk away, access to Vancouver and the Fraser Valley is easy via the freeway or Lougheed Highway, shopping is right next door at Brentwood Town Centre and the Madison Centre, plus the choice of restaurants, recreational amenities, and cultural venues will keep the most active explorer entertained.
Fitzgerald, Brentwood Gate’s 27-storey concrete tower offers a selection of 1-bedroom with den and 2-bedroom homes priced from $249,900. MacDonald House, the first of Brentwood Gate’s six four-storey residences, offers 1-bedroom, 1-bedroom and den, and 2-bedroom homes starting at $199,900. Don’t miss this opportunity to be one of the first to see the presentation centre located at Lougheed and Beta.
