The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) is presenting another popular consumer event this week. Open House: A Showcase of New Homes highlights the latest advancements in architecture, design, construction technology and energy efficiency.
Some of the region’s most prominent builders will feature 50 decorated and furnished showhomes at 22 home sites in Abbotsford, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Fort Langley, Langley, Maple Ridge, North Delta, North Vancouver and Surrey.
Participating builders are Adera, Azura, Boffo, Cressey, Domani, Foxridge, Legendary, Marathon, Marcon, Morningstar, Oakvale, ParkLane, Polygon, Portrait, Vesta and Wallmark.
The primary Open House sponsor is the Homeowner Protection Office, a branch of BC Housing and the provincial body responsible for licensing residential builders.
The four-day event, which began Thursday, offers a broad range of home types and prices, from a stylish Langley condo priced at $199,900 to a luxurious, custom-built Coquitlam home valued at more than $1 million.
People can also tour an 8,300 sq. ft. country house in an equestrian-themed community in rural Langley, where estate-sized building lots are offered for $529,900.
Features include sumptuous and spacious kitchens, lavish spa-like bathrooms, designer colours, vaulted ceilings, resort-style amenity facilities and a wealth of other creature comforts.
Open house hours are Thursday and Friday from 1 to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 12 to 5 p.m. Some showhomes may not be open Friday, so confirm with the builder before visiting.
A complimentary Open House magazine — with photos, descriptions and maps — will be published by this week in NewLocalHome, published in local Black Press community newspapers (including The Times).
A preview of all participants was published last week in NewLocalHome. Details are also posted at www.gvhba.org.
A lucky visitor to the homes will win a Utopia Indulgence Package, which consists of seven hours of luxurious heaven-on-Earth spa services at Spa Utopia.
