Form by Anthem - Upcoming Architectural Modern Condos in South Granville Fairview


UPCOMING BUILDING SPOTLIGHT

FORM BY ANTHEM - ARCHITECTURUAL MODERN CONDOS IN SOUTH GRANVILLE

DESIGN BY OMB - OFFICE OF MCFARLANE BIGGAR

 

262727096 2

262729156 6

It is always my goal to only bring my clients and local design enthusiasts attention only to interesting architectural developments in Vancouver. The latest pre-sale offering known as “Form by Anthem” located in South Granville on West 6th Avenue caught my attention for a few reasons: 

1. The location - we have sold 15 condos and lofts on the same block on West 6th Ave, at 1529 W 6th Ave, known “South Granville Lofts” aka. “WSIXbuilding, also 1565 W 6th Ave, known as “Sixth + Fir”.  Both are great building and landmarks of their own kind: Ultimate industrial style lofts at 1529 W 6th, and a Modern Well Built designed modern condos at 1565 W 6th Ave, with architecture by Henriquez & Partners. 

302   1565 w 6th avenue print 01529 w 6th avenue web 2

2. The small number of units being offered in the building at “Form”, only a 51-storey development, many client prefer more privacy and a intimate/community feel within their building 

3. The architecture and interior design, both by OMB.  We have worked with other recent OMB modern projects, and the integration of timeless clean-line exterior design and subtle high-end contemporary / modern luxury interior are very well executed.  We have made sales in other OMB buildings: 1555 W 8th Ave, Shift by Aragon at 5089 Quebec St, Vancouver and at 3730 Edgemont Blvd, North Vancouver.  These projects in my opinion are truly beautiful and exceptionally design - dark exteriors that blend into the landscape and street scrape, plenty of exposed concrete work, bright open concept interiors, large windows, clean-lines, square layouts, integrated posts and structural beams with no pillars or odd-spaces, beautiful interior mill work and high-end selections of fixtures and appliances.  

 Take a moment and have a look at the details on this development, if you are thinking of making a move in or holding a high-end property in 2.5-3 years (the estimated time of completion) this building is worth your attention.  Pre-sales have begun.

Pauls Opinion:
"We have now sold three condos within this building, each buyer we worked with was looking for a unique modern feel home, and to have a sense of privacy. This tower only has 46 units, so it allows someone to live in a modern striking high-rise and still have privacy. The use of concrete, curved glass and horizontal planes make for an architectural feel and openess within the home.  Its located centrally near  South Granville Shopping district, along with easy access to Granville Island and West Fourth Shopping area, its convenient and central for an urban lifestyle."

For 2014 we have sold some beautiful modern houses, along with a few project homes that will go through amazing transformations.  Through our marketing efforts and international exposure we have been able to reach out to more buyers than ever before.  Our fantastic clients have referred to many new buyers of unique homes, and as usual we have also sourced many new clients through our powerful websites including, www.albrighton.ca. Owners of these unique properties have also found us based upon our portfolio and for offering upscale marketing and a our large network of design savvy clients and industry contacts. 

This year we were very fortunate to work with world class architectural properties designed by renowned architects and designers including Christopher Boyzk, LWPAC, Henry + Glegg Residential Design, and Arthur Erickson.  Most importantly we are grateful to our clients who present their homes to their best and who appreciate design and quality construction.  Below is a list of our 2014 modern home sales. 

At Albrighton Real Estate we believe “good architecture never expires”.  


2014 Modern Homes Sales: 

1770 29th st grid

West Vancouver Contemporary House
Custom built home designed by Christopher Boyzk of Christopher Boyzk Architects.  This home was originally designed as Boyzk's personal residence, as a result the build quality was fantastic and the dramatic architecture has a timeless fresh feel nestled in the woods and on the cliffside in the Altamont area of West Vancouver.  This inspiring contemporary design was designed 23 years ago and still feels ultra modern and in-line with current design trends. Many one-of-kind architectural details are found within this home including: square edges in all rooms, a curved glass walkway on the upper floor (shown in the photo above), double height windows in the main living areas, and cantilevered balconies coming out of the main living areas connecting the dweller to the outdoors and nearby trees.
