When Intergulf first launched its Grand Central 1 tower adjacent to Coquitlam Centre in 2007, the comparison to New York City’s Grand Central Station was perhaps a bit premature. Utilizing a glamorous marketing campaign that was perhaps more Fifth Avenue than Northern Avenue, Grand Central has definitely changed the way that people view Coquitlam. Five years later and two highly successful sell-outs later, Grand Central 3 is coming onto the market—and there will be some subtle changes, according to Macartney Greenfield, Project Manager for Rennie Marketing Systems.
“People who are thinking about buying into Grand Central 3 are definitely going to be part of a complete community that has really evolved since we started with Grand Central 1,” she says. “The whole vibe out here has changed, with world class brands like Lululemon and The Apple Store now opening at Coquitlam Centre.”
From the authentic sushi joint on Glen Drive to the aroma of fresh baked goods at the Persian bakery – Urban Gate has truly become a family oriented and eclectic neighbourhood. These highrises are close to established neighbourhoods and malls that have been re-imagined and re-purposed to suit contemporary lifestyles.
Grand Central 3 is Intergulf’s final tower in Coquitlam and the last chance to purchase either a home or an investment in a high value, premium amenity concrete highrise. “We’ve looked at the unit mix and are offering more of the smaller homes in this phase,” she explains. “Our one and dens really flew off the shelves in the first two phases, and so you’ll see more of those in Grand Central 3. We’ll also offer 100 homes priced under $299,000, which represents tremendous value in a transit-oriented community. We’re steps from Coquitlam Centre and endless shops, services and restaurants, and we’ll be just a three-minute walk from the future Evergreen Line when it’s completed in 2016.”
Grand Central appeals to buyers wanting to get in on the Lower Mainland’s hottest real estate market and “get into an evolving community,” Greenfield says. “Grand Central 3 appeals to the empty nesters that are looking to downsize from their single-family homes; young couples looking to start a family, and first-time home buyers looking for value and convenience.” For the latter group, especially, it’s a great way to put down some roots and enter the market.
The striking 37-storey concrete and glass Grand Central 3 has been designed by the award-winning IBI Group. Luxury starts in the lobby, with a soaring double-height designer entrance with contemporary interior design by Lot 30 Design Inc. Spacious terraces and balconies enhance outdoor living, while the expansive windows optimize natural light and city and mountain views.
Interiors offer a choice of two contemporary colour schemes: ebony and rosewood, with laminate wood flooring throughout living and dining rooms and cozy wall-to-wall nylon carpeting throughout bedrooms. Smart horizontal blinds offer both shade and privacy
In the kitchen, choose from contemporary wood veneer cabinetry in ebony or rosewood. Quartz countertops are complemented by elegant marble or limestone tile backsplash. Top quality stainless steel appliances by KitchenAid include a 24-inch dishwasher, 30-inch gas range cooktop and self-cleaning electric oven, over-the-range integrated microwave/hood fan and integrated or full size refrigerator depending on your home.
Bathrooms feature quartz countertops, a stylish soaker tub and undermount counter sink, modern Moen faucets and fixtures, a slim profile dual flush toilet and quality porcelain tile floor. Laundry rooms have matching full-size appliances by Whirlpool—a 5-cycle front load washer and 5.7 cu.ft. front load capacity dryer.
“Grand Central’s amenity package matches its incredible location,” Greenfield enthuses. Homeowners can take advantage of over 1.4 acres of exterior space including the outdoor swimming pool, hot tub and his and hers change rooms. The lushly landscaped grounds are complemented by a formal garden and community garden plots, and an outdoor children’s play area. A 2500 square foot fully-equipped fitness facility features yoga and stretching rooms. After your workout, relax in the Grand Central lounge and bar with its multi-media room, party room and kitchen facility.
Safety and security are also top of mind when it comes to living at Grand Central 3, with a resident caretaker and 24-hour property management always on-call. A video intercom in the entrance and secured residential access to each floor limits access, while common areas protected by priority lock system and gated underground parking is accessed via remote control.
A trusted developer, a transit hot-spot, and a transformed community. The Grand Central vision has become a reality in Coquitlam city centre.
