VANCOUVER EASTSIDE FRIDAY, MARCH 6, [email protected] • 604-435-7977
R E A L E S T A T E W E E K L Y
It’s been more than half a decade
since British Columbia gave the
green light for six-storey wood
frame construction. Although the new
building code raised plenty of eye-
brows – and even some ire – when
it was introduced in 2009, today an
increasing number of developers are
embracing the opportunities it cre-
ates.
One early adopter was Adera, a
Vancouver-based developer long
known for its commitment to cut-
ting-edge green building techniques.
Adera’s Sail at UBC was the fi rst true
six-storey wood frame residence on
campus. It was awarded gold for Best
Low-Rise Residential in Vancouver/
North Shore at the Urban Development
Institute’s 2014 Awards for Excellence
as well as Best Multi-Family Low-
Rise Development in BC at the 2013
Georgie Awards. The company’s new-
est UBC project, Prodigy, is well under
construction and sales are brisk.
More Bang for the BuckMore Bang for the BuckSo what’s the appeal of wood? For
most homebuyers, a prime consider-
ation is the aff ordability factor.
“A six-storey concrete building will
typically cost an additional $60 to
$70 per square foot when compared
to an equivalent suite in a wood-
frame building — which can add up
very quickly,” said Al Poettcker, CEO
and president of UBC Properties Trust
(UBCPT). “Wood frame is an excellent
way to gain 50 per cent more den-
sity without signifi cantly changing the
fi nal cost to the buyer.”
He added that wood frame build-
ings provide an interesting aesthetic
benefi t.
“Six-storey wood frame buildings
are not allowed to have any combus-
tible materials on the façades,” he
said. “So developers use materials
such as brick, metal or fi bre cement
siding like HardiPlank. Often when
people stand outside, they can’t tell
it’s a wood frame building.”
Quiet TimeQuiet Time“Because the weight of two extra
storeys requires more support, there
is a lot more wood mass in a six-sto-
rey wood frame,” Poettcker said. “So
these buildings tend to be quieter.”
Taking this concept a step further,
Adera’s newest six-storey wood frame
– The Shore in North Vancouver’s
Capilano neighbourhood – has intro-
duced advanced acoustic technology
to reduce sound transmission even
more.
“People often think a concrete
building is quieter than wood frame,”
said Eric Andreasen, Adera’s vice
president of marketing and sales. “In
fact, an independent sound engineer
conducted fi eld tests and confi rmed
this new system has made The Shore
the highest performing wood frame
building in the province – probably in
Canada – equal to or even better than
concrete.”
Safe and SustainableSafe and SustainableMichael Geller, architect, devel-
oper and well-known advocate for
innovation in housing, acknowledges
that when the legislation was fi rst
introduced, many had concerns about
wood’s shrinkage over time. “People
wondered if it would be exacerbated
by adding two extra fl oors,” he says.
“Now we’re seeing ever increasing
use of pre-fab joists and laminated
wood products, so it’s no longer an
issue.”
As a bonus, many of these products
also reduce waste because they are
made from young, renewable wood.
And here’s something many con-
sumers aren’t aware of – but should
be. A fi ve- or six-storey residential
building is subject to stricter fi re sup-
pression regulations than a building
of four storeys or less.
“Fires rarely happen during con-
struction,” Poettcker stressed. “But
developers have defi nitely responded
with stricter protocols to deal with
this outside possibility.”
Vision and HistoryVision and HistoryGeller said he’s thrilled with the
rapidly increasing number of six-
storey wood frame buildings now
found throughout the Lower Mainland.
“It is a testament to the legitimacy
of this construction approach that
Ontario has recently copied BC by
allowing six-storey wood frame
construction,” he said.
“People have forgotten that many
of Vancouver’s original buildings were
six-storey, heavy timber construction
– just walk through neighbourhoods
like Gastown and you’ll see them still
there. So you could say it’s like we’re
going back to the future.”

When Yaletown began it was just a few residential towers. Imagine if Urban Fare and Starbucks were there from the start. River District Town Centre will launch as a complete neighbourhood, with retail, restaurant, residences, parks and playgrounds. Now is your chance to become part of this new neighbourhood—built from the ground up on the last section of Vancouver’s waterfront.

Real estate in Vancouver’s tony
Westside is hard to come by. One of
the most exciting and luxurious Boutique
Developments to be built in the heart
of this prestigious neighbourhood is
Kerrisdale Gardens.
In one of the best postal codes on
Vancouver’s Westside, Kerrisdale Gardens
is an exquisite collection of 27 Designer
Residences, featuring two bedroom ter-
raced suites and one bedroom, den and
fl ex space condominiums. Behind the
Kerrisdale Gardens are the award-win-
ning European-infl uenced designers from
Riesco & Lapres. “For years, Riesco &
Lapres has been beautifying the homes
of Kerrisdale residents in ways that speak
directly to the heart,” says Charan Sidhu
of Otezs Project Marketing. “They know
the subtleties of what makes a home fi t in
this stunning neighbourhood.”
In addition to its prime location, you
couldn’t ask for fi ner fi nishes: nine foot
ceilings (10 foot in the penthouses), engi-
neered hardwood fl ooring, luxurious wool
blend carpeting, custom millwork, expan-
sive windows to bring lots of natural light
in, European-inspired epicurean kitchens
and Zen-inspired bathrooms. The kitch-
ens feature custom designed cabinetry,
top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances,
including a Fhiaba fully integrated refrig-
erator, marble countertops with ¾ edge
fi nish and under-the-cabinet puck light-
ing.
“While many people are currently
downsizing from their large single family
homes to more convenient one-level liv-
ing, the suites here have been designed
with that in mind,” Sidhu says. “We often
hear from downsizers that they don’t want
to compromise their lifestyle, especially
when guests are coming. Inviting people
for dinner, family and friends, many con-
dos lack a proper dining area. This feature
has been incorporated into many of the
homes without needing to entertain the
highest priced or largest unit.” One of
its most unique and sought-after features
are the gardens on the second fl oor. This
quiet and enchanting private oasis off ers
incredible outdoor space for the residenc-
es that face into this courtyard, of which
there are only two left. Truly, this is one of
the best outdoor havens you will fi nd in a
condominium building. The discriminat-
ing people who have already purchased a
home in Kerrisdale Gardens have boasted
about the access to some of the province’s
top schools, both public and private, the
walkability of the neighourhood and the
penthouses with private garages in the
underground.
Each homeowner can feel safe knowing
the four-storey building off ers two levels
of secure gated underground parking,
plenty of secured storage lockers and
ample bike storage. Convenience contin-
ues with two elevators for residents to
access their homes. As one of the oldest
and most distinguished neighbourhoods
in Vancouver you will fi nd plenty of ame-
nities including transit, top rated schools
and recreational opportunities, all within
easy walking or driving distance. Then
there’s high-fashion to patisseries, gour-
met cheeses to European décor, including
such popular spots as Secret Garden for
afternoon tea and neighbourhood favou-
rite, the Red Onion Neighbourhood Grill.
These elegant, single-family home
inspired residences must be seen to be
fully appreciated. The sales centre, locat-
ed at 2128 West 40th Ave., Vancouver, is
open by private appointment only. With
only 14 available, these condominiums
won’t last. Your brand new home will be
move-in ready in Spring 2015.
