Daily Hive: Now you can buy your Metro Vancouver dream home from $299,900
f you’re in your 20s or 30s, there’s one thing that’s always on your mind – real estate.
Paying rent every month and still not owning your home is getting old. You’re taking this whole adulting thing seriously and you know that Metro Vancouver is where you want to stay.
But you don’t want to compromise your lifestyle just because you’re buying your first home. You still want to be able to order avocado toast at brunch, enjoy social activities with your friends, and buy the latest clothing.
Luckily, you can find the perfect dream home that fits into your lifestyle at the brand new 434-home King George Hub development in Surrey City Centre that’s officially unveiling this month. Here, you’ll be able to enjoy luxuries similar to that of a downtown condo – but at affordable starting prices.
“Over the next decade, King George Hub will play a key role in transforming Surrey City Centre into North America’s next metropolitan centre. From its modern and innovative design, with city and mountain views, to a range of top amenities, and retail and dining options, King George Hub will be the ideal place to live,” Jack Bernard, project sales director of Rennie Group told Daily Hive.
To help you see why King George Hub could be perfect for your future, we’ve compiled a list of six benefits that come with living there.
Transit options
A lot of people wish for greater access to transit in their neighbourhood. Luckily, you’ll get exactly this at the King George Hub as the 434-home development will be located at the intersection of King George Boulevard and Fraser Highway – right next to the Expo Line King George SkyTrain Station.
For you, this means easy access to downtown Vancouver and all the cities in between. There’s also two additional transit lines being planned that will connect you to Newton, Guildford Mall, and Langley. That’s a total of three skytrain stops at your doorstep along with multiple bus exchanges – so there are plenty of transit options available.
Affordability
This factor is a key component that can make or break your decision when it comes to buying your own place. King George Hub locks in concrete value for real estate in Metro Vancouver as you can invest in a one or two bedroom apartment from 443 to 809 sq. ft., starting at $299,900.
Design
Living at King George Hub means you’ll be part of a complex with two brand new 39-storey residential towers defined by modern architecture and well-planned interiors.
Designed by the architects at Musson Cattell Mackey Partnership, the building features a trellis-like ribbon that wraps vertically around the building. The development is surrounded by the iconic Coast Capital Savings Help Headquarters to the north, which was also the first phase of PCI’s project.
Did we mention sleek interiors by BYU Design and enviable views?
Amenities
There will be no need to leave your local area for your shopping needs because there’s going to be 100,000 sq. ft. of retail shops and a public plaza at the King George Hub. Each building will have its own separate amenities including: roof top lounges, a gym/yoga studio, games room (pool table/foosball), meetings/recreation rooms, and an onsite manager. Oh, did we mention there will be an outdoor play area on the second floor, too?
Education
Whether you have a family right now or if you’re planning to start one in the near future, it’s good to know that there are 99 elementary schools, 25 secondary schools, and two post-secondary schools in the local area.
Development
The City of Surrey has some aggressive plans in place to revitalize Surrey’s City Centre. This includes new universities which will be built in the area, just blocks away from King George Hub. An SFU campus expansion for its Energy Systems and Environmental Engineering program is expected to be built by 2018, and Kwantlen Polytechnic University will be opening a 30,000 sq. ft. campus here. As a result, this ‘hub’ of activity will have everything anyone would ever need.
