Raphael: Iconic Westside Living

It’s the perfect marriage of contemporary design and classic elegance, an exquisite collection of just 35 homes located in the heart of Vancouver’s prestigious Point Grey neighbourhood.

Say hello to Raphael, the first new condominium development in this area for a decade.

Located at 3668 West 10th Avenue (at Alma Street), this four-storey concrete building is inspired by the charm of a European village, yet there’s a distinctly West Coast vibe as well. From the street, marble-pattern modern classical columns frame expansive windows with contemporary black casings and mullions. Ground-level, boutique retail adds a lively, dynamic ambiance to the streetscape.

Interiors are unabashedly luxurious. Wide-plank engineered hardwood flooring, imported Italian cabinetry, top-of-the-line Subzero and Wolf appliances, marble countertops — every detail is thoughtfully crafted to provide an exceptional lifestyle.

Amenities You’ll Treasure

Amenities, too, are sure to satisfy the most discerning homeowner. A grand lobby welcomes residents and guests alike with soaring 12-foot ceiling and a curated collection of local art. There’s a fitness centre with state-of-the-art equipment, an outdoor lounge area, bike lockers, a secure parcel room, and each penthouse includes a spacious, private rooftop terrace with spectacular mountain and water views.

Welcome to the Neighbourhood

After living downtown on the Seawall for several years, Keith Jones and his wife, Heather, were clearly wowed by Raphael’s extensive outdoor spaces. “Our south facing terrace and rooftop garden area give us more space for our grandchildren to play, and the layout of our penthouse will be fantastic for entertaining friends and family. We’re also walking distance to the beach and the yacht club at the foot of Alma,” Heather says, adding that being close to the Endowment Lands was yet another enticement. “This is going to be a fantastic long-term residence for us as we retire.”

“We’ve received a tremendous amount of interest and support from the local community as well as realtors and buyers like Keith and Heather,” say Chris Boyd, Raphael’s sales manager. “They all tell us Raphael’s location, architecture, and high-level interior design sets this project apart from any others nearby.” No wonder he says over half the homes were sold within the first month of sales.

Raphael’s sales gallery is now open for private viewing appointments in Chateau Laurier, another residence developed and built by Landa Global Properties, located at 3855 Oak Street (at Laurier). Now selling two- and three-bedroom homes priced from $1,689,900 and starting at 1,081 square feet. For more information, visit RaphaelAtAlma.com or call 604.800.7888.
