ONCE again the waterfront is becom-
ing the hub of North Vancouver.

Un addition ta the Quay, ma
residential developments have
into Lower Lonsdaie.

_ Phe area is shaping up to be t
ofthe nerth, with trendy cates, boutiques and gal-

y commercial and
jected new life

hase one of The Vi
St., enhanced the talization of Lower
Lonsdale. Ht added a fresh face while remaining
faithful to the rich heritage of the area, using time-
less materials and adding Craftsman/Tudor
details.

Phase two will add 72 new suntes of the-same
quality, designed by Graham Crockart Architects
and built by Ledingham Mcallister. One bed-
room, one bedroom: plus den and two bedroons
suites, many with solariums, are availabie starting
at $145,900.

The building’s exterior features solid wood
brackets and shingles, stone facing and sloped
roofs. Inside, details such as wood-framed bay
windows and arched openings give a vintage look.

The design of The Vista may take its cucs from
the past, but it also boasts the latest in comfort,
convenience and technology. All homes have heat
efficient gas fireplaces controlled by wall-mounted
thermostats, state-of-the-art appliances and cner-
gy-efficient halogen lighting in the kitchen. On
the outside, new “Rain Screen Cavity” technology
provides a layer of protection, keeping the exteri-
or walls dry.

The Vista is located off the hustle and bustle of
Lonsdale Avenue, but within walking distance of
the Quay, restaurants, shops, theatres and the old
Versatile Pacific Shipyards. Plans for the historic
site include increased waterfront access for the
public and exciting new cultural developments.
Across the stsect is Hamersiey Park, whose serene
setting offers a place for a quiet stroll.

A new display suite has just been. completed in
a Roots/Upcouniry theme, complementing the
three other furnished show suites. All are open
noon to 5 p.m. every day except Friday. Call 980-
0050 for more information.
