Township Commons

ownship Commons is a new condo and townhouse development by Kingdom currently in preconstruction at Willowbrook Connector, Langley Township. One of the great benefits of masterplanned village-style residential developments such as Township Commons by Kingdom Canada is that, if properly executed, they truly feel like selfcontained communities — a village within a village, so to speak. Township Commons consists of low-rise condominiums and townhouses combined with spacious three-level city homes, all grouped cozily together and providing a wonderful visual diversity of rooflines and architectural textures.The village theme of Township Commons also ensures plenty of people activity, thanks to commercial services located at street level fronting 66th Avenue, and a clubhouse called Town Hall, anchoring the eastern border of the community. Township Commons is literally across the road from the Township of Langley’s city hall complex and the local RCMP detachment, the epicentre of a community that has grown to exude a distinct urban vibe, but retains its rural appeal by being situated between acres of unspoiled farmland, stables and parks. Township Commons is also a quick walk away from one of Langley’s most popular shopping hubs: a concentration of big brands such as a Walmart Superstore, Save-OnFoods, London Drugs and Best Buy. “The location really is a key factor,” says Margot Jay, licensed sales manager at Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing Ltd.Of Township Commons’ 211 residences, 78 are traditional townhomes ranging from two to four bedrooms, while the 120 condominiums range from one- to three-bedroom units. Jay describes the city homes as “three-storey residences that each have their own private garage within the underground, yet have private direct access to their beautiful living spaces on all three floors, with the master bedroom occupying the entire third level, offering the ultimate retreat.”The diverse building types at Township Commons have been carefully arranged and oriented, with a stepped-back design in order for the decks to provide great views of the surrounding neighbourhood. Award-winning Portico Design Group is responsible for the interiors, which include a kitchen option that has never before been seen in the residential marketplace. “For those who choose, there is a new all-black kitchen with Shaker-style cabinets and quartz countertops,” says Jay. The Town Hall clubhouse “is a true gathering spot for residents,” says Jay. “In addition to a kitchen and fitness room, there are flex rooms and an entertainment area.” This degree of care in residential planning is typical of Kingdom, which has earned global respect for being a first-class community builder. Township Commons will appeal to a wide range of buyers, from firsttime homeowners to those wanting to downsize.© 2017 Postmedia Network Inc
