Laurel House
This was the first of three buildings here by Vancouver's Magusta Developments. The middle of the three, Laurel House was completed in 2000, followed by Trafalgar House to its east and finally by Morgan to its west. Oriented to young people because of their proximity to Mount Royal College immediately to the north, these buildings focused on affordable but very cute one-bedroom suites, but also offer spacious two-bedroom floor plans with large balconies or patios. Each building has a large landscaped courtyard atop its in-ground parking garage. The three buildings operate as separate condominium corporations. All three buildings are modern frame construction with overlay atop concrete in-ground parkades that have titled parking for every suite and some extra stalls, visitor parking and assigned common-property storage lockers for every suite, plus some bike storage spaces.
Each building is shaped roughly like a "c", giving an open-air access to and from each courtyard, with the party room and gym at grade across the courtyard from that. Each courtyard has a large brick-paved picnic area and a gazebo, so large functions have room to spill out of the social room and outdoor places to sit; 'nice. Half the suites face outward from each building, and others face inward. 'Kind of a European design repeated since then in nearby developments such as Gateway Garrison Woods and Gateway Garrison Green. Unit factors in each condo plan were assigned to suites in proportion to their sizes. In all three buildings exterior windows and doors are common property for maintenance and for eventual replacement.
Laurel House is three storeys, while its neighbours are of four floors each. This building has 120 suites starting at 603 sq. ft. although most are larger, and two-bedroom two-bathroom plans ranging up to 1,195 sq. ft. There are 135 titled parking stalls, so 15 suites own two, plus there's indoor visitor parking. Floor plans are all open and windows are large. Staggered exterior walls allow for many corner-set windows, even for suites that are not truly corner-located. Laurel House is actually shaped like two letters "c" facing each other, giving even more places for suites to be end units. I keep on file all original sales literature and floor plans, as well as the condo plan.
