Realtor Notes: This architecturally pleasing development should only help an area struggling in transition (much like Gastown/Hastings & Main). Vancouver planners along with developers have a mid-long term objective of moving this community to a safe, secure ‘residential’ destination for young, upwardly mobile professionals looking for affordable downtown living alternatives. Prospective owners will need to appreciate a ‘living on the edge’ type of lifestyle for several years to come and the development and area will likely attract an ‘Artsy’ , young, starter (first-time buyer) resident plus investors looking for a central, concrete value investment. Solterra has been an established quality ‘Boutique Builder’ since the late 1990’s. Working extensively throughout the Lower Mainland while achieving/maintaining a good level of customer satisfaction.
