Wesgroup plans to hold a “grand opening” for the first public sales for residential units in New Westminster’s Brewery District — an area that already has 560,000 square feet of office space and 68,000 square feet of retail space.
VIP sales have already been conducted and it is unclear how many of the 115 homes in the yet-to-be-built, 15-storey Sapperton tower remain.
The site is steps from the Sapperton SkyTrain station and is in an area that was previously home to a Labatt brewery.
Amenities at the Sapperton tower are set to include party rooms, a roof deck and a 10,000 square foot premium fitness facility.
Well-lit green space is expected to surround the building.
The tower has 59 one-bedroom units. It also has townhomes, which is rare for New Westminster. Those units are start at 1,350 square feet on two levels.
Otherwise the building has two- and three-bedroom units, which also start at 1,350 square feet.
“There’s a real resurgence happening in this part of New West, fuelled by all the offices and shops,” said Wesgroup senior vice-president Beau Jarvis. “Buyers will be moving into a vibrant and super safe transit hub in a suburb that is seeing an influx of young people and cool new restaurants and stores.”
