In the Vancouver Sun (April 13, 2012), journalist Randy Shore describes the recently opened UniverCity Childcare Centre as “more than just sustainable, [it] is poised to be a net contributor rather than a consumer of energy and precious resources.”

Dramatic architecture, breathtaking views of the North Shore and Indian Arm, lushly forested setting, and fresh air. Ah yes, welcome to life at the top. That would be life at the top of Burnaby Mountain.

Introducing Altitude: two sleek, sophisticated condominium towers plus six, exclusive townhomes located at the highest point to date of the UniverCity master planned community and just steps to SFU. Altitude is brought to you by the Hungerford Group, and you’d better believe it’s generating a flurry of activity in this already trendsetting neighbourhood.

Panoramic View
“This is a premium location and one of the last best view properties on Burnaby Mountain — no picture or words can express the views our owners will enjoy,” says Jason Dolker, Hungerford’s director of sales and marketing. “This is truly a rare opportunity to be part of a multiple award-winning community.”

Award-Winning Community
UniverCity itself, he adds, has garnered numerous environmental and sustainability awards while SFU has been ranked the number one university for comprehensive studies nine times by Maclean’s magazine. “As developers here, we’re building on our award-winning tradition of quality from MacPherson Walk.” He adds that when complete, Altitude’s top elevations will be higher than any other residential tower in Metro Vancouver. Inside, Altitude boasts all the attention to fine detail that helped MacPherson Walk achieve multiple awards at the provincial level including Best Multi-Family Low Rise in BC. “Everything about these homes sends a message of quality,” Jason explains. “Recessed lighting in the entryway, kitchen, and bathrooms to create a welcoming ambience plus frameless glass showers, engineered hardwood flooring in the main living areas, premium fixtures by Grohe, generous outdoor living spaces, roller shade blinds throughout — we think details like this should be standards not add-ons.”

Connected to Everywhere
With the many recreational offerings found at SFU itself, Altitude still has plenty to keep you happy and healthy at home — starting with more than 8,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor amenity space just for homeowners. Break a sweat at the state-of-the-art cardio centre where you’ll find premium machines equipped with personal TVs and iPod connections. When friends and family come calling, take advantage of the owners lounge with kitchen plus familystyle dining space or head outside to the covered barbeque terrace. Perhaps you’ll prefer to cozy down in front of the fireplace with a book or surf to your hearts content on your new iPad3 (go on admit it, you can’t wait to get your hands on one). There’s even a separate study area with workstations, power, and wi-fi connection. Want even more amenities? No problem. In addition to a smorgasbord of lively educational opportunities, a home at Altitude gives you access to SFU’s pools, gyms, and 12,000-sq.-ft., multi-level fitness facility. There’s also miles of trails to explore throughout the 1,400-acre park that’s part of your extended backyard. And, of course, the ever-popular Nester’s Market just down the street for everything from fresh flowers and veggies to homemade soups and sandwiches. Oh and here’s a cool extra. In addition to being only a block from current transit connections to the existing Millennium Line and future, recently approved Evergreen Line, a proposed gondola would whisk you down the mountain directly to the Millennium Line — making your commute to downtown Vancouver even faster and easier to access. “Altitude gives you that feeling of being a retreat from the city, without losing your sense of being connected to everything,” Jason says.

GREAT VALUE BY DESIGN
Jason also stresses that whether it’s a home for yourself, your kids, or your parents, Altitude makes sense as a long-term, personal wealth building strategy. We focused on creating a community that oers great value. With prices starting at $268,900, you won’t find a better value whether it’s to live or invest here. You have an award-winning home, a location in the award-winning master plan UniverCity community, and you’re on the doorstep of an award-winning University.” And here’s yet another piece of good news. “Because SFU is a three-semester university, it’s open 12 months a year meaning there are always student and faculty looking for quality places to rent year round,” Jason says. “For the pure investor buyer, it’s tough to go wrong when you have a student population base that’s typically grown consistently — both through economic upturns and downturns.” See for Yourself
