The Alhamra United Church at 260 High Park Avenue was originally built in 1908 by architecture firm Burke, Horwood and White.

Remote work policies combined with low mortgage rates created more options for buyers to consider larger homes in the suburbs.

The project was completed in late 2020, and while many of the larger suites are already sold out, a collection of move-in ready, one-bedroom units are still available.

The proposal is being considered under the Cambie Corridor Plan, which enables the construction of new ground-oriented townhouses geared towards families.

Last year also saw the start of construction at The Saint as crews demolished the existing building on the lot in August.

To wrap up our series of new development construction updates in 2020, we’re taking a look back at eight noteworthy projects.

Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the interiors with bright natural light, complementing the seamless flow from room to room, while the 10-inch, wide plank Norwegian Oak hardwood floors give off a soothing Scandinavian vibe.

The first of several cantilevered design features is now visible on the west tower as the building shifts sideways, creating a staggered and stacked profile.

Priced at $3.3 million, The Ivy boasts similar square footage to a small suburban home with 1,496 square feet of living space.

The development application includes plans for a five-storey, mixed-use building comprising 51 rental apartments and four live-work units.
