Affinity flies high with style

People are attracted to brand names and designer quality for a reason. Whether it's for high style, status or a reliable reputation, Bosa enjoys the privileged label in real estate with its condo developments.

The 29-story second tower of Affinity is the latest addition to the Brentwood area in north Burnaby, a neighbourhood the Bosa family grew up in and envisioned to be an accessible urban community surrounded by nature.

Brentwood continues to see growth and expansion, and a vibrant retail and dining scene is starting to develop around the Sky- Train transportation hub.

“Affinity has been a breeze to market, as it possesses all of the key ingredients for a good investment including attractive price point, livable floor plans and the Bosa standard of quality,” says Cameron McNeill, president of MAC Marketing Solutions.

“The development's location really sells itself,” says McNeill. “The place is located smack in the middle of Brentwood, which means residents get to enjoy a whole range of urban living amenities without having to pay high prices.”

The Affinity development is located only 18 minutes away from downtown on the transit line making it a convenient option for commuters.

The tower offers plenty of choices to suit any lifestyle with units ranging from a 385 sq. ft. studio, one- and two-bedrooms with den options, to a twostory 1,800 sq. ft penthouse complete with an outdoor kitchen and fireplace on a rooftop deck.

Suites come in two colour schemes, wenge with a rich palette of chocolate, espresso and caramel, and graphite, a muted and modern look with subtle grey-toned cabinets and honey-coloured floors.

Glossy white accents stand out against the wood laminate floors and cabinetry, and the granitetopped island in the kitchen makes a modern breakfast bar or a perfect place to entertain guests.

Elegant finishing touches like glass mosaic tiles and sharp stainless steel appliances add to the minimalist style with its contemporary look and clean lines.

The open-concept living space has two dining areas where one can easily be used as a work den or a nook for reading. Affinity's Tower Two goes on sale Saturday and is scheduled for completion by June 2012.
