LOWER Lonsdale is boom-
ing.

And tor good reason.

As the oldest neighborhood in
North Vancouver, it’s had a long and
varied history,

Beautiful heritage buildings grace
the steep Lonsdale streetscape and
the area has slowly become home to
plenty of eclectic and funky shops,
coffee houses, restaurantes and pubs,
and of course Lonsdale Quay — a
waterfront market brimming with
fresh fruits and vegetables, meat and
fish sellers and interesting vendors of
all kinds.

The only thing inissing? More
people ro really bring it to lite!

Not anymore.

Developers and realtors have seen
the incredible potential of Lower
Lonsdale and their work is evident
everywhere. .

A prime example of it is at 124
West 3rd, where construction has
begun on Vogue -— 40 one: and two-
bedroom residences, all with studics
and moase with decks and outdoor fiv-
ing areas.

Homeowners at Vogue can choose
from two muerior color schemes.

Special design features include a
natural gas fireplace and a spacious
kitchen with a breakfast bar.

The kitchen is also graced with
European-style cabinets with
brushed-chrome handles, hardwood
floors and halogen track lighting.

It also features a double sink with
an in-sink disposal and vegetable
sprayer. Step into the master bed-
room and you'll notice a walk-in clos-
et in most suites, and in the master
suite bathroom, a walk-in shower
with a glass enclosure.

Each suite also comes with extra
out-of: suite storage for your skis and
mountain bike — definite must-haves
for life on the North Shore.

Homes on the main floor are pre-
wired for an alarm system, cach suite
has a security viewer, and the secured
underground parking has a remote
control entry.

Suires are also pre-wired for high-
speed Internet access.
