Walnut Ridge 2

We’ve gone to great lengths to create the best Condominium opportunity in Metro Vancouver.

Here are some quick links to specific topics:

Factor 1: Two Parking Spots

• At Yorkson Creek every suite has 2 secure underground parking spots!

Factor 2: Air Conditioning

• Our new air conditioning system is an adjustable multi-zone system for the ultimate in effective and efficient cooling
• High-efficiency ductless-split technology delivers cool air directly to each bedroom and the main living area

Factor 3: Large Secure Storage

Mini Garage for
Secure Storage

• At Yorkson Creek every suite has a large individual mini garage with 200+ cubic feet of storage
• Great location — mini garage is adjacent to one of the suite’s parking spots
• Mini garage is secure, built of concrete block and/or metal
• Power is available inside the mini garage

PLUS Power For
Your Electric Car

Factor 4:  Low Strata Fees

Our Monthly Strata fees are low and estimated at:

• $162 for the 1st year
• $167 for the 2nd year and
• $172 for the 3rd year

Strata Fees include:

• Shaw Cable with over 100 digital channels, including many in HD
  (pay per view, and specialty channels are extra if you want them)
• Shaw High-Speed internet with high-capacity fibre optic cable to every suite
• Fire/Water/Flood/Earthquake insurance that is required for your mortgage
• Hot water from high-efficiency condensing boilers
• Nicely equipped exercise room and meeting room (yours to enjoy)

Strata Rules:

• 2 pets allowed up to 15 kg each
• No age restrictions
• Renting permitted. A new BC Law (2010) does not permit strata councils to change rental status

Factor 5: Quieter Suites

Quieter Suites
With Our Acoustic Package

Older buildings are notorious for sound transmission between suites. Yorkson Creek goes many steps beyond what is required in the building code to design suites that are quieter.

Floors

• Floors are either solid concrete or acoustic isolated concrete
• The flooring underside assembly has steel-bracketed sound-dampening insulation

Walls

• Side-by-side suites each have their own separate wall
• Walls are insulated, and each side has 2 layers of 5/8” drywall

Finished Floors

• Acoustic wood-grained plank laminate
• Carpet is laid on 10 lb acoustic underlay

Ceilings

• Ceilings between suites have 2 layers of 5/8” drywall
• Ceiling drywall is mounted on sound-bar channel to block sound transmission

Other Acoustic Precautions

• Electrical receptacles are back-insulated on walls between suites
• Features that penetrate the sound barrier are avoided on surfaces between suites
• Vertical main plumbing lines are rubber mounted

Quiet is not silent
Even with this extra acoustic work, you will still be able to detect other people living in your building.
