Flora and James discover Gilmore Place

For months, Flora and James had watched the signs announcing Gilmore Place. They loved the Brentwood location close to where Flora worked as a science lab assistant for the Burnaby School Board, and the SkyTrain Station to Vancouver; they just hadn’t considered downsizing from their 4,000-sq.-ft. house.

When the presentation centre opened, they thought, “Well, why not check it out?” That was when they fell in love.

The quality of the appliances, the views, the maintenance-free lock’n’go lifestyle— it just all added up to a change they could embrace.

Moving up

“We originally bought a home on the 58th floor, but then the top floor suites came on the market,” Flora says. “Onni worked with us so we could move up to a sub-penthouse without penalty. And we were also able to upgrade our flooring to wide-plank laminate throughout — which is going to be wonderful.”

Amenities for health

“We love how good Gilmore Place’s amenities are going to be,” Flora says. “We’ll have an indoor pool, an entertaining lounge with chef’s kitchen, and a guest suite — which will be great when we have family staying over.”

All this in addition to the area’s already robust amenities and services.

Although their move-in date is still awhile away, Flora says she and James are already thinking about a celebratory party with the kids and other family members. “This is going to be a whole new phase in our lives. It’s exciting, and we won’t have the upkeep on a big house.”

Gilmore Place is a master-planned, transit-oriented community located in Burnaby’s dynamic Brentwood neighbourhood. For more information, visit onni.com/gilmoreplace.
