With BBQ season fast approaching we thought we would share some video and photos of the MASSIVE decks on the second floor at BELLA in Burnaby. Well maybe BBQ season isn’t that close, but we ARE getting very close to finishing the building, and thought we would take some shots on a nice sunny January afternoon. Can you imagine having 400 square feet of private outdoor space for entertaining? These decks are amazing, and the use of the cedar truly compliments the building’s design.

A quick update from the construction team is that we are on track to have occupancy permits in February, which means that our buyers will be moving in to their brand new homes very soon! There are still a number of great units available, please take a look at our floorplans page or contact the sales team for exact availability and pricing information. In the area? Come on down Sat/Sun from 12-5pm and take a look at our furnished 4th floor show suite – we would love to give you the tour. From Edmonds & Canada Way, have yourselves a BELLA day!

Just thought we would share this photo of the cement crew hard at work. January has been a wet month, so the crews were happy to take advantage of some sun to pour the concrete curbs on Edmonds St. in front of the building. From this angle you can also see the glass awnings that were recently installed over the retail units on the ground floor. Things are coming together quickly, and the next major step will be having the power turned on for the entire building. Look forward to another video blog once this has taken place and as always – feel free to pop by the show suite on the weekend, or contact a member of our sales teams to book your personal tour of the site.

As the construction begins to wrap up at the BELLA site, we thought that we would take a moment and introduce you to one of our favorite haunts in the community. The House of Wings is one of the many specialty restaurant within walking distance of BELLA. Located at #145 7155 Kingsway, this unique restaurant literally obliterates the traditional “wings and beer” so popular with Lower Mainland hockey fans.

This restaurant newly opened in May of 2009 offers comfortable large tables to fit those massive platters of wings that are quickly becoming an Edmonds Street and Highgate favourite. The menu features 26 different types of chicken wings from around the world including some really original flavours unseen anywhere else such as: zesty orange, coconut, Chipotle, Jalapeno, and Jamaican jerk just to name a few. For those keeping a close on eye on their pennies there are 37 cent wing specials everyday from 2 to 5pm and all day on Sunday, combined with drink specials everyday.

The House of Wings offers an excellent affordable way to socialize with friends and family. Open from 11am to 11pm on Sunday to Thursday and 11am to midnight on Friday and Saturday this new take on a classic has been creating quite a buzz with locals.

The house of wings is just one example of the many unique local businesses that make up the Edmonds Street neighborhood. In the area for wings on a Saturday or Sunday? Come on by the show suite and say hi to the team – we would love to show you what sets the condos BELLA apart from the other Burnaby area developments.

It has been a crazy week at Bella. For those who have been following our progress lately, they know that we have been working many long hours pulling together suite 404 as we prepare to welcome all of the area Realtors to the project. Thanks goes out to everyone who helped out with the project over the last few weeks, it has been a fantastic show of support from the Bella team from top to bottom. We think the results speak for themselves, here are some “sneak a peek” images from the soon-to-be unveiled show suite on the top floor at Bella.
