Building on the overwhelming success of One River Park Place, Intracorp is now previewing homes in its latest offering in Richmond’s newest riverfront community.
“One River Park Place is completely sold out and so it’s not surprising that there is huge interest in RPP II, which will be located to its west,” says Barrett Sprowson, Intracorp’s vice-president of sales.
A collection of 129 homes, RPP II is a 14-storey structure designed by IBI Group Architects (Canada) Inc. The architects worked with Insight Design Group to give it a distinctly urban feel, letting in ample natural light in inventive new ways and celebratingthe natural beauty of the waterfront. Award-winning landscape architectural firm Durante Kreuk will ensure that the ground’s design strikes the balance between urban and natural.
Like its predecessor One River Park Place, RPP II is connected to and inspired by the liveliness and vibrancy of Richmond’ s Olympic Oval neighbourhood. Minutes away from a myriad of amenities, residents will enjoy riding their bikes to Steveston Farmer’s & Artisans Market to pick up produce and the fresh catch of the day. Other popular attractions include the Richmond Yacht Club,
McArthurGlen Designer Outlets and the notable “food street” – highlighted by food bloggers around the world.
Like the first tower, RPP II is drawing interest from a wide range of buyers, including young, first-timers, but also baby boomers and investors. “We’re also seeing a large percentage of Richmond locals,” adds Sprowson.
Among the numerous features in RPP II that set it apart from other projects in the area is a stunning glass-enclosed, state-ofthe-art amenities space. “This space will include the ‘ultimate game room’, with digital darts, a basketball court and mahjong table,” says Sprowson. “We expect it to be popular with both younger and older residents.” The amenity space also includes a contemporaryand comfortable large lounge and dining space with double-wall fireplace. The homes, which come in one-, two-, and three-bedroom-plus-den configurations, plus two-bedroom townhomes, reflect the design quality and level of finishes for which the Intracorp brand and reputation has become known. “As is the case with all Intracorp projects, we put much thought into the design of these homes to ensure that they not only met, but exceeded the expectations of its homeowners,” says Sprowson. “No small detail was overlooked and the utilization of space was thoughtfully considered.”
The result? Homes that feature chic, innovative design with a number of tasteful, luxurious touches. Kitchens come with high-end Bosch appliance packages and white polished quartz countertops with painted glass backsplashes. Easy-care laminate flooring is found throughout the main living areas and soft carpeting in all bedrooms. Bathrooms have white porcelain tile flooring and walls, and glass-encased showers with rainshower fixtures.
The homes are also ‘tech savvy and future proof.’ Each comeswith ahome-automation package developed by La Scala that includes Nest thermostats, Lutron dimming zones and LED lighting in the kitchens that will illuminate the backsplashes with a choice of 16 different hues. The technology works with your smart phone so you can pre-program tasks – from temperature control to lighting – before you arrive home.
The homes in RPP II range from 455 to 1,275 square feet and a starting price of $399,900. For more information, visit the R PP II Sales Centre at 7671 Al der bridge Way, which is open Saturday–Thursday, noon —5 p.m., or visit: www.riverparkplaceliving.ca
