The wait is over! Welcome home to Affinity

Vancouver Sun - November 26 2011

Luxurious living features modern, aesthetically pleasing surroundings and state-of-the-art amenities in the nexus of the Lower Mainland

It's almost ready! For the past 20 months, Burnaby's Brentwood neighbourhood has been transformed by the sight of tower cranes swinging in the sky as Affinity nears completion.

Truly a landmark development in this vibrant, fast-growing neighbourhood, Affinity consists of two gleaming concrete towers, 24 and 28 storeys respectively — each with its own fitness facility social lounge complete with kitchen and entertainment space, and lushly landscaped roof top garden.

With Phase 1 slated for occupancy in January, Affinity's two towers have a combined total of 281 suites, three city homes and seven town houses, surrounded by almost an acre of tranquil garden and green space.

Education is at the forefront with both SFU & BCIT in the immediate vicinity, Brentwood has the youthful, creative energy and vitality that distinguishes it from other rapidly emerging communities. With nearby 8 Rinks, Confederation Park & Pool, and the natural asset of virtally endless green space, Brentwood breathes life into lifestyle. Accessible by SkyTrain for today's eco-conscious homeowners, Affinity is close to cycling and nature trails, Burnaby Lake and Burnaby Mountain, parkland that is replete with bike paths and nature trails. With tremendous shopping and a wide variety of services located in nearby Brentwood Mall, this is truly a community whose time has come.

Bosa Development Corporation has deep roots in the area. As a local family who grew up in Burnaby, and went on to build internationally as well as right here at home, Bosa Development was the first to envision Brentwood's growth potential and played a significant role in helping the community mature into the dynamic social, economic and entertainment centre it is today. And central is the key: Brentwood can truly be described as the Lower Mainland's nexus, a midpoint to virtually everywhere. Located just 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver by transit (or car), Brentwood has become home to many retail, entertainment, shopping and dining opportunities.

To two generations of Vancouverites — as well as homeowners in San Diego and San Francisco — Bosa Development is synonymous with premium quality homes that will provide enduring value. After all, this is the most important investment that most people will ever make.

"These are very affordable homes," says Bosa Development sales manager Lisa Murrell. "The Affinity project has been very popular from the start of pre-sales, but we still have some one bedroom and den, (prices starting from $367,400) and two bedroom, two bathroom homes (from $449,900) remaining. People can walk through the actual homes, purchase on-site, then move in early next year."

Affinity homes exude a modern, minimalist style, evoking value and distinction in each subtle detail. Homes come in one of two designer-selected colour schemes, wedge or graphite. These timeless hues were created for Bosa by renowned interior designer Cristina Oberti. Hard-wearing laminate wood flooring covers the living, dining, kitchen, den and entry and is offset with wooden baseboards. Bedrooms feature plush carpeting and flat panel interior doors open with chrome lever hardware. Each home comes equipped with a full size stacked washer and dryer combination, window blinds, and spacious balconies perfect for entertaining and enjoying expansive views.

For many homeowners, successful entertaining starts in the kitchen. Affinity boasts contemporary laminate cabinets with stainless steel hardware and under cabinet lighting. Elegant granite countertops, glass mosaic backsplash, and recessed pot lighting create a modern, contemporary ambience. Each home comes with a stainless steel appliance package that includes a Samsung refrigerator with bottom mount freezer, Maytag self-cleaning gas slide-in range, Maytag quiet series multi-cycle integrated panel dishwasher, Maytag built-in over-the-range microwave with built-in hood fan, and a garburator.

Bathrooms are equipped with premium quality Kohler faucets and fixtures and also boasts elegant granite countertops. Undermount sinks maximize counter space while laminate wood grain cabinets provide plenty of storage. Ceramic wall tiles are used in the main bathtub and shower area, with porcelain tile floors. A deep soaker tub invites long, luxurious relaxation.

There is, of course, more to creating a home than just four walls. Ownership in Affinity includes an exclusive amenity package. Each building has a fully equipped exercise facility with change rooms. There's a spacious, attractively appointed "social lounge" with a com- plate kitchen that is ideal for entertaining.

Between the towers, almost an acre of green space makes you feel like you're at the very centre of the entire Lower Mainland. The artfully designed Zen garden will also include a children's playground; the perfect spot for meeting other young families. The list of amenities is indeed impressive and includes a guest suite, caretaker suite, elegantly furnished entrance lobbies, secured underground parking for residents and visitors, a video entry-phone system, and restricted elevator access.

Bosa Development is renowned for the quality of its home construction. You can rest easy, knowing that each Affinity home comes with a full two-year warranty on workmanship and materials, a five-year building envelope warranty, and a 10-year major structural warranty.
