The art of downsizing

Downsizing is gaining popularity as empty nesters, Baby Boomers and single-person households are embracing the concept of moving to modern and streamlined residences tailored to their needs and changing lifestyles. With the help of Boffo Developments and their Ovation Award-winning project “Modello,” we’ll explore how downsizing can be a luxurious option.

LUXURY UNCOMPROMISED
When downsizing and moving into a new development, clients can have the colours, finishes and textures they’ve always wanted, creating a beautiful opportunity to blend treasured possessions and collections with contemporary pieces of furniture to breathe new life into your home. For example, all homes in Modello are designed to feel like a corner suite, with covered private outdoor living spaces and nine-ft. ceilings – indeed, Modello offers a lifestyle akin to single-family living.

When downsizing, it’s a good idea to look for a home that delivers generous proportions through versatile living areas and comfortable outdoor areas.

“Boffo strives to design amenity spaces that become extensions to the home,” explains Karen West, director of marketing and sales for Boffo Developments. “We want people who are downsizing from a single-family home to feel like they can entertain friends and family and have spaces for their children or grandchildren. The amenity area is perfect for larger gatherings, but it’s also a lovely space to relax in the sun or enjoy a glass of wine by the fire on a summer evening. It should feel like home.”

THE AMENITIES
When it comes to condo and highrise living, amenities help make your home that much more special. Whether it’s a designated space for fitness, unobstructed views of Burnaby’s skyline or full-service concierge amenities, highrise living can be as private, luxurious or cosy as you like it to be.

With 12,000 sq. ft. of indooroutdoor amenity space, Modello offers richly furnished hotelstyle lounges and terraced garden seating areas with several fireplaces, providing beautiful spaces for private or group socializing. The circular fire pit has a wonderful way of bringing people together – it’s essentially an urban campfire. There is also an outdoor jetted hot tub nestled within the landscaped gardens, and a children’s play area surrounded by greenspace.

What does this all mean? Look for a new space that reflects your essence and values – a home poised to meet your family’s needs.
