The Beasley Condos are Yaletown’s Finest in Downtown Vancouver

It’s the last new Yaletown address, a stylish testimonial to the visionary outlook that’s almost synonymous with the name Larry Beasley. Introducing Amacon’s The Beasley condominium suites in downtown Vancouver’s trendy Yaletown district.

Poised to transform the corner of Smithe and Homer Street, The Yaletown Beasley condominium residences will be a gleaming, 33-storey highrise condo tower that epitomizes the principles of sustainability its namesake believes it so passionately. “The Beasley incorporates all the elements Larry promoted: high-density living, heritage retention, mixed-use design, and reduced reliance on private automobiles,” says Richard Wittstock, vice president of real estate development at the Yaletown Beasley Condo tower. The result is, in a word, spectacular according to the author, Susan Boyce of the New Home Buyers Guide of Vancouver in February 2008.

Love the Lifestyle of Yaletown?
Long considered one of Vancouver’s most desirable neighbourhoods, Yaletown has a character of its own. And The Beasley Condos is a celebration of everything that says: Yaletown in downtown Vancouver. The look is sleek, modern, and stylishly rectilinear – cosmopolitan flair at its finest. Engineered hardwood flooring, the newest KtichenAid Architecture Series appliances in stainless steel, square soaker tubs where you can soak away the cares of the day, these Yaletown Beasley homes designed to satisfy the most discerning, city savvy home purchaser.

Perhaps one of The Beasley condos’ most unique features is the mews-style outdoor courtyard that provides residents with direct access to Yaletown Park and the Vancouver Public Library. “We like to say that at The Beasley, your front yard is Yaletown andyour backyard is Robson Street,” says Nic Jensen, Amacon’s manager of sales and marketing at the downtown Vancouver Beasley condo tower high-rise real estate project. For those who will call the Beasley condos home, it’s one of the many details that make the difference.

And here’s a Yaletown first. Part of the eighth floor garden terrace at the Beasley Condominiums in Yaletown will be a 60-foot dog run surrounded by park benches where home owners can hang out as their four footed companions romp and play together. You’ll find patios like this everywhere in New York and San Francisco,” Richard says. “We know how many people who live downtown own dogs, because we see them walking right outside our office – it’s part of the lifestyle sow we need to accommodate those lifestyle choices. This feature is indicative of downtown Vancouver’s success as a place to live.”

Vision Meets History at the Beasley Condos Yaletown
One intriguing part of The Beasley real estate development fresh outlook on Yaletown is actually steeped in history. The almost iconic Homer Building, where generations have met for coffee or a get-me-on-the-go lunch or breakfast in the Homer Café will soon enjoy a revitalized life. The heritage structure is being restored and will become home to a new breed of contemporary retail, commercial and service outlets at the Yaletown Beasley condominium tower. “We believe mixed-use buildings can create a synergy that’s exciting and environmentally friendly,” Richard says. He talks briefly about the way heat and cooling systems can run in conmplementary modes – the heat from air conditioning offices filled with computer equipment being recycled to supplement the heating needs of the residential suites at The Beasley Yaletown residences – and explains how there will be a green roof above the adjacent office building giving an even more visually appealing overlook of north-facing homes.

But most of all, both Nic and Richard stress The Beasley condos is the last chance to purchase a brand new Yaletown home with the prestige of a Homer Street address. “There is simply no more land available here,” nic says. No wonder he adds that the interest is running high as homebuyers eagerly register for this one, final opportunity of real estate in downtown Vancouver’s Yaletown district.

The Beasley will be located at Smithe and Homer and when complete, will introduce more than 200 homes ranging from one bedroom suites of 575 to 690 square feet to four levels of elegant penthouses and Beasley sub-penthouses boasting up to 1,200 square feet of luxurious living with only three homes per floor.

The Beasley: A Lifestyle Defining Location

An article published as an Advertising Feature in Metro Magazine and written by the trusted author A. King on May 14, 2008. As Vancouver real estate city’s planner, Larry Beasley transformed the city’s downtown core with his “Living First” strategy, people became attracted to an urban lifestyle, creating a more modern, stylish city, making it the premier real estate address it is today. Beasley’s focus on revitalizaing neighbourhoods and preserving the city’s heritage sites has led to a Yaletown residential real estate downtown Vancouver development being name after him. The Beasley Condos, Amacon real estate developer’s latest real estate project on the border of Yaletown and Downtown Vancouver, at the corner of Homer and Smithe, is a combination of modern and classic, inspired by Larry Beasley’s ideas along with features that even a dog will love. A staff member said let’s call it the Beasley,” said Amacon sales associate J. Graham of the developer’s decision to honour the former city planner. “From that they decided to approach hi, because he had just retired, and ask him if he would mind if they name the building after him, [and] that’s how it got started.” Staying true to Larry Beasley’s commitment to preserving the city’s heritage sites, accompanying the odern condo pre-sales tower at its base will be a restored three storey heritage building. Built in 1913, the downtown Yaletown building, once home to apartments and cafes and most recently Homer Café, is set to become a high-end restaurant with rental apartments above, separate from The Beasley pre-sales suites in Yaletown real estate. The Edwardian architecture of the classic downtown Vancouver real estate building will provide The Beasley condos with unmistakeable charm and character, setting it apart from other Yaletown real estate buildings. With prices starting at $400,000, and almost 70 per cent sold, the pre-construction Beasley residences range in size from 550 sq feet to 1300 sq feet for penthouse suites, the 33 storey condo tower is slated for completion in early 2011. For more information about the downtown Yaletown Beasley condominiums, please call Judy Graham, Amacon sales associate at 604.669.7343 or visit thebeasley.com.

The Beasley Condos Contemporary Living in Yaletown

From the REW magazine, Yaletown’s last residential real estate opportunity for homebuyers: The Beasley condos represnts the last chance to buy a brand new tower home in Yaletown. One of Yaletown’s final real estate development sites is being transformed into a tribute to urban excellence and vision. The Beasley, Amacon’s newest 34 storey hig-rise development epitmozes the principles of sustainability its namesake believes is in so passionately. The Beasley Yaletown condos is named after renowned Vancouver city planner, Larry Beasley. “It incorporates all the elements Beasley promoted: high-density living, heritage retention, mixed-use design, and reduced reliance on private automobiles,” said Richard Wittstock, vice president of the presales real estate Vancouver development. Perhaps one of The Beasley’s most unique features is the mews-style outdoor courtyard that provides residents with direct access to Yaletown in downtown Vancouver, the library and every downtown amenity. The Beasley preconstruction Vancouver condos also features a Yaletown first. Part of the eighth floor garden terrace will be a 60 foot long doggie run where home owners can walk their dog, play with their pets and mingle with other Beasley residents. “We know many people who live downtown owndogs, it’s part of the lifestyle we wanted to accommodate,” Richard says.

The look of the presales Yaletown Beasley condo tower is sleek, modern and stylishly rectilinear. Engineered hardwood flooring, the newest KitchenAid Architecture Series appliances in stainless steel, rectuangluar soaker tubs where you can soak away the cares of the day, thes are luxury condo homes designed to satisfy the most discerning, city savvy pre-cosntruction condo purchaser in Vancouver. Located at Smithe and Homer, the Beasley presales condos is the last chance to buy in Yaletown. “There have been no new residences with a Homer Street address in Yaletown for several years. Simply because no more land is available here for high-rise real estate preconstruction development” said Nic Jensen, manger of the Beasley Sales and marketing team. He adds that interest is running high as homebuyers eagerly register for this final Yaletown opportunity. The Beasley Yaletown presales Vancouver condominiums will introduce more than 200 homes ranging from one bedroom suites of 550 to 690 square feet to four levels of glamourous penthouses and sub-penthouses boasting up to 1300 square feet of luxurious living with only three homes per floor.

Yaletown Community Snapshot – There is only one original Yaletown

Published in Vancouver’s 24 Hours newspaper. It’s the neighbourhood others aspire to be, the one others across the Lower Mainaldn compare themselves to with the claim “We bring a touch of Yaletown to… “ Just fill in the blank with your choice of town or area. So what does it take to get the real thing, the real Yaletown? The short answer is money. The slightly longer version is lots of money and perhaps a little luck, because considering the sheer number of condominiums that now fill the Yaletown skyline, surprinsgly few come on the Yaletown real estate market – especially not in the heart of the community. Most are located on the periphery. Maybe people who live here just never leave. And make no mistake, living in Yaletown real estate means embracing the condo lifestyle. At press time, fewer than a dozen townhouses were listed in the Yaletown real estate market, and all were the gorund-oriented units found clustered at the base of most highrise towers – a Vancouver twist on traditional Georgian Brownstone homes. Prices start at $700,000 and quickly escalate to $900,000 for a typical three bedroom, three level unit. Two breezed past the benchmark $1 million, although one court-ordered sale of a 2,350 square foot unit for $1.2 million seemed significantly undervalued when its nearest competitor was asking $1.6 million for a mere 1,500 square foot Yaletown real estate townhome only a few blocks away. Condos in Yaletown provide a wider range of choice, just be prepared to think small unless you’re willing to part with $600,000 and up. Studio suites in Yaletown’s real estate market can be found for under $300,000, but at 400 to 450 square feet, be aware you’re spending $700 per square foot or more. For a one-bedroom Yaletown condo of 550 to 600 sq ft, expect to hand over a minimum of $400,000 and don’t be surprised if it’s $100,000 more than that. And if you want to own some of the most expensive real estate in Vancouver’s downtown, Yaletown is where you need to look. Of the 450 plus current local listings, almost all of the top 10 are penthouse units located in the heart of the real estate Yaletown property community proper. Several come with a price tag of $1.5 million. The two most expensive are approximately $2 million and $3 million for three or four bedrooms, a stellar address, and views of the Burrard Inlet and False Creek. Now almost built out, it appears unlikely Yaletown real estate is in danger of losing its cachet as a neighbourhood of choice. Surprisingly, despite its high density, there’s still an ambiance of urban village here. People actually talk to their neighbours, kids play in the parks, and dogs take their two footed companions on a stroll along the seawall. No wonder this once industrial area is now a model of the upscale urban lifestyle. Susan for 24 Hours.

Mahogany at Mill Lake Abbotsford Real Estate Development Update

An update from Quantum Properties, developer of the new Abbotsford Mahogany at Mill Lake real estate development site. In November 2009, we resubmitted our Mahogany at Mill Lake Abbotsford real estate development proposal to the City of Abbotsford. We made several modifications to the original proposal such as adding a geothermal heating and cooling system, increasing the ceiling heights to a minimum of nine feet, increasing the number of parking stalls, and reducing the total number of units in the Mahogany at Mill Lake Abbotsford condo project. On March 15th, 2010, Abbotsford City Council voted 5-4 in favour of receiving the revised Mahogany at Mill Lake Abbotsford real estate development proposal, thus setting the stage for it to now proceed to Public Hearing. The Mahogany at Mill Lake Public Hearing date will not be confirmed until the proposal has passed its first reading by council in mid-April, but the tentative date is April 26th, 2010. There is a long way to go before the new Abbotsford Mahogany at Mill Lake condo project will be able to evolve from vision to reality. We are very appreciative of our supporters and hope you will continue to stand with us as we attempt to move the Mahogany at Mill Lake condo project through the various stages of approval process successfully. We will provide further etails regarding the confirmed Abbotsford Mahogany at Mill Lake Public Hearing date once we have received the information and we sincerely hope to see you there to convey your support for this progressive and beautiful new Abbotsford condo proposal.

Greater Vancouver Presales Condos draw first-time homebuyers

Preference for urban lifestyle fuels boom. By Kristen for METRO and reposted here to promote METRO and Vancouver real estate.

The condo industry is booming in Vancouver thanks in part to young homebuyers unwilling to give up their urban lifestyle for the suburbs, according to RE/MAX report released yesterday. The Re/Max Condominium Report found that the condo in Vancouver lifestyle chalked up some of the most impressive gains in residential real estate in 2007, with condo values up across the country.

Lori Haggarty, a real estate agent for Coldwell Banker who specializes in condos and townhouses, said that the social aspect of Vancouver condos and pace of city living is a big draw for young, first-time homebuyers. “A lot of my clients are looking for more of a community environment and kind of want to run into their neighbours and be around like-minded people,” she said. Haggarty added that condos are also a more practical means of homeownership in a city where housing prices are the highest in the country.

“If you’re looking for a starter home in the $500,000 to $700,000 range, in a condo you can probably do a lot better,” she said. Haggarty said condos in Vancouver also offer little bells and whistles like granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances, which you don’t find in starter homes.
