Vancouver Condos

Posted Feb 21, 2008 @ 8:16 am, Viewed by 189 Visitors, Read 191 Times.

Concrete is the most popular style of  condos in Vancouver. Lowrise buildings are usually of frame construction and high-rise are of concrete. Most of the new construction downtown is concrete.

But in residential neighbourhoods where the condominiums blend with single family housing the construction is frame.

There is usually an underground parking space for each unit, there is a monthly maintenance charge to cover the management and upkeep of the common areas of the building. The maintenance charge is based on the "unit entitlement" or square footage of the suite.

As there is little snow removal or salt damage to common areas the monthly maintenance charges in Vancouver and Richmond are usually considerably less than they would be in Toronto for comparable accommodation.
