Solana

Solana is one of Metro Vancouver's top presale opportunities for 2024. Located in Willoughby, Langley—one of the region's strongest markets for new condos—it reinforces a solid investment thesis. With prices starting at levels comparable to newer resales in the market, this is a great chance to purchase at market-low prices, with the potential for appreciation by the time of completion in 2027.

My clients will receive priority access to the best priced and most efficient floorplans. As a former Zenterra employee and current investment condo owner, I can personally vouch for the quality and service Zenterra provides. 

Starting at $479,900, Solana offers the most affordable condo pricing in Metro Vancouver, without venturing east of Langley.

Attractive deposit structure: 5% due at signing and 5% due in September 2025

Located at the northwest corner of 200th Street and 76th Avenue, Solana is directly across from the growing Langley Event Centre. Upon completion, the master-planned community will consist of six buildings with over 850 new homes. This offers early buyers a valuable opportunity, as prices in future releases will likely be higher than the initial launch, helping to build equity in your presale investment.

The first building at Solana is a six-storey structure fronting 200th Street, with 118 homes. The community features nearly 90,000 square feet of recreational space, including pickleball courts, putting greens, outdoor BBQ areas, and playgrounds.

"Solana stretches out across a prime location in Willoughby, where integrated green spaces and proximity to amenities allow residents to experience the softer side of living. With easy access to the future SkyTrain, dining, shopping, and entertainment options, residents can relax, knowing that everything they need is right outside their door."

Zenterra Developments has priced units sharply in order for them to expediate its sales and construction process.

As such, this is a great opportunity for someone to take advantage of discounted prices (compared to market comparables), allowing their investment to grow over the next 2.5 years during the construction period, with the anticipation of interest rates to also normalize over this time period.

With respect to the overall market fundamentals of Willoughby, Langley, according to my latest New(er) Resale Report Willoughby, Langley is Metro Vancouver's only sellers market for one & two-bed condos, underscoring the strong presale investment opportunity in this neighbourhood:

"Let’s talk specifics. As an example of uncovering microtrends, I’ve developed a strong conviction that Willoughby, Langley stands out as one of the region's strongest areas for presale investment. Demand in the resale market outpaces supply, pushing prices up and making the pre-sale market an increasingly attractive alternative. With median resale prices for one-bedroom condos around $490,000 and two-bedrooms at $645,000, the pre-sale options are compellingly in line with current resale prices."

Willoughby is quickly becoming one of the region's most exciting places to build. Affordability, access to transit and the future SkyTrain, excellent schools, and its proximity to Highway 1 have all contributed to its recent popularity.

Some of the region's most popular restaurants are recognizing the immense growth in Willoughby, particularly among millennials across Metro Vancouver. Notable establishments that have opened or announced new locations include King's Tap (affiliated with Cactus Club), Tap & Barrel, Trattoria by Italian Kitchen, Sing Sing, and more.

Some of the region's largest developers have also taken notice of this community, with rumors of several highly-reputable Vancouver-based developers all seeking land in this area.
