REW is always here as a guide to offer you insight, no matter where you're at on your journey. Whether you're purchasing a resale or pre-sale property, refinancing, selling or renting, we're here to help guide you through the process.
Vibrant, connected, inspiring interiors, design-forward architecture, an established developer, with world-class amenities at your doorstep. It’s no wonder Intracorp master planned community, Gardena, has already sold over 260 homes; making Gardena the fastest-selling community in Coquitlam.
For young families, Gardena is close to Mountain View Elementary School and a five-minute walk to the home of the new expansive YMCA. The homes are also within walking distance to the Burquitlam SkyTrain Station, a short drive to Simon Fraser University’s Burnaby campus, and close to Lougheed Town Centre.
Recently, developers have shifted amenities to focus more on active living and wellness components. Intracorp sets a new benchmark for design and programming with an outdoor rooftop movie theatre, spa with fire pits, barrel sauna, and an outdoor shower with a Nordic rainfall shower for cold water therapy.
Not your average fitness studio, Gardena’s Fitness Studio has a dedicated Crossfit Studio complete with battle ropes, a boxing bag, plyometric boxes, and a gym sled. For avid yogis, the yoga studio is outfitted with a barre space with Lululemon Studio Mirrors - to guide you through virtual exercises classes, while providing live feedback on your form. After your workout, enjoy a massage in the private treatment room.
But that's not all. Gardena is steps from the forested trails of Burnaby Mountain and, together with their best in-class team of experts, Intracorp has incorporated this connection to nature into a first-of-its-kind Secret Garden amenity, which will boast greenery climbing the walls with five-storey columns soaring above, a kitchen and lounge with an indoor-outdoor connection, and beautifully designed co-working spaces - and this is just a preview of an impressive list of luxurious amenities.
"Being a landscape architect is all about creating community, and we're able to do that on projects of this nature because it brings people together out of their units outdoors,” says Peter Kreuk, Principal Durante Kreuk (Landscaping).
Designed by renowned Ste. Marie Studio, the residences are just as impressive as Gardena’s amenities. Contemporary gourmet kitchens include a spacious island with a microwave, storage, and dining-style seating, engineered-stone countertops complementing the single-slab porcelain backsplash and a Bosch stainless steel appliance package; with wood-like laminate floors throughout.
Once complete, Gardena will feature four buildings, including two concrete condo towers. The first phase of Gardena – the 42-storey Lotus, is now selling and offers an excellent selection of 1 to 3-bedroom residences.
"What I'm particularly proud of about this project, is that it is one of our first major masterplan projects that we haven’t had an opportunity to create until now,” says Evan Allegretto, President, of Intracorp Homes BC.
With over four decades of experience, Intracorp is bringing their expertise to the desirable Burquitlam neighbourhood with Gardena. This coveted stretch of urban living has been undergoing a renaissance during the past few years, boasting big-city amenities with great walkability, cultural diversity and a wide range of shopping and dining opportunities. If you are an outdoor enthusiast, Burquitlam also has you covered with a great selection of parks, such as Mountain View Park, Burnaby Lake, Mundy Park, and Como Lake.
Be a part of the extraordinary success. Gardena’s Presentation Centre is open for tours, with two stunning display homes.
