Lakewood’s future-built homes offer contemporary European design in Vancouver’s Commercial Drive neighbourhood

Designed for those who value the future of our environment as much as present day aesthetics, Lakewood is a collection of 24 contemporary homes located just three blocks from The Drive. Developed by DIMEX Group, these three-bedroom-plus-flex townhomes are now selling from $1,180,000, and are being built to Passive House standards in an effort to prioritize indoor comfort and exceed energy efficiency standards.

Lakewood’s European-inspired homes are positioned around a landscaped courtyard to encourage interactions between neighbours and provide verdant views. Envisioned by Cornerstone Architects, the distinctive exterior is characterized by dark-trim windows and a thoughtful combination of exterior treatments to create geometric accents.

Prospective buyers are invited to choose from an assortment of functionally-designed floorplans, with three-bedroom floorplans ranging from 1,140 to 1,325 square feet in size. The stylish interiors are appointed with luxury vinyl plank flooring, LED pot lighting, tilt-and-turn triple-glazed windows, and the buyer’s choice of two designer-curated colour schemes.

Ideal for everyday living and entertaining, the gourmet kitchens are equipped with Moen fixtures in black and chrome finishes, two-toned, soft-close cabinetry, integrated cabinet organizers, quartz countertops with matching full-height backsplashes, LED undercounter pot lights, and stainless steel appliances from trusted brands like Fisher & Paykel and Bosch.

The spa-like ensuite bathrooms showcase modern vanities with sensored, undermount night lights, durable quartz countertops that extend to the backsplash, and sleek undermount sinks. Frameless glass showers with built-in niches for toiletries are complemented by porcelain tile flooring and shower surrounds, as well as Moen plumbing fixtures in matte black or chrome finishes.

Every floorplan includes an enclosed flex space that could be fitted for a home office, artist’s studio or quiet space for homework. Private, courtyard-facing outdoor space is provided in the form of a spacious patio, porch or balcony, creating opportunities for alfresco dining or simply enjoying a cup of coffee away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Other notable highlights include large bedrooms, wall-to-wall closets, AC rough-ins with upgrade options, full-sized 24-inch Samsung front load washers and dryers, and one free year of Telus high speed internet for your home office.

For added peace of mind, Lakewood offers secure EV-ready underground parking, security system rough-ins for all homes, and 2-5-10 warranty coverage. Three-bedroom townhomes include parking, while all homes benefit from bike and storage lockers and a car wash area.

Located at 2075 East 1st Avenue, Lakewood is steps away from Commercial Drive, a bustling thoroughfare lined with restaurants, supermarkets, clothing boutiques, coffee shops, bookstores and more. The Drive is a foodie hotspot that’s home to must-try restaurants like Marcello Ristorante & Pizzeria, La Mezcaleria, Havana Restaurant and Memphis Blues Barbeque House.

Getting around the city is a breeze with easy access to Highway 1 and nearby bus routes that connect riders to surrounding SkyTrain stations. Reach downtown Vancouver in only 10 minutes by car or hop on the Expo Line at Commercial-Broadway Station, just a 10-minute walk from Lakewood.
