Highpointe by Concordia Properties in Maple Ridge

It’s one of the Lower Mainland’s up and coming locations: A city that blends the best of urban conveniences with a friendly, rural ambiance. And Highpointe is now poised to become Maple Ridge’s most exciting new community!

Located overlooking the Fraser River and adjacent to a seven-acre park, this collection of just 153 apartment residences brings a whole new level of sophistication and design to town. Offering an astonishing 39 floorplans that include family-friendly city homes at ground level and two-storey, sky loft penthouses with soaring 18-ft. ceilings in the living room, Highpointe is clearly wowing savvy homebuyers.

“We’ve sold more than 60 homes since opening at the beginning of the year,” says Wayne Lyle, sales and marketing director.

“That’s more than any other development in the area.”

Wayne credits Highpointe’s location and 100 per cent steel and concrete construction as part of the reason it’s being so well accepted. “This is simply a better, safer construction than wood frame. It’s fire resistant, there’s no shrinkage or warping, and both insulation and soundproofing values are superior. When I talk to parents who are helping their children get into the housing market, so many of them say they want that peace of mind for their kids.”

One couple, he adds, had planned to buy a one-bedroom home as an investment property.

“But when they saw the quality, design, and views of Mount Baker and the Fraser River, they were so impressed they decided to get a larger, two-bedroom corner suite and move into it themselves.”

Come celebrate

And here’s breaking news: To celebrate Highpointe’s resounding success to date, Concordia Homes is throwing a groundbreaking party on March 14 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“There will be local cheese samples, people from the local rec centre, a fly fishing expert, plus draws for prizes like a round of golf or an equestrian trail ride,” Wayne says. “Maple Ridge is full of amazing outdoor activities, so this is a way we can showcase the great outdoor lifestyle people who live here enjoy every day.”

Thoughtful style

Inside, Highpointe homes define thoughtfully appointed elegance: Nine-ft. ceilings, European-styled appliances including gas cooktop, climate control, and kitchens sure to get your culinary adventures ramped up.

Need another enticement? How about an innovation you simply won’t find elsewhere. Sundecks feature a combination of glass railings on the lower half and retractable Lumon brand windows on the upper. “So in winter, you have a fully enclosed solarium where you can still enjoy the feeling of being outside,” Wayne says. “Then in summer, just retract the glass and you’ve got an open, breezy balcony.” Brilliant.
