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.

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.
