At the BELLA, we said enough is enough! For a limited time until August 9, 2010 the developers at the BELLA will pay the net HST for you! This means if you buy a one bedroom and den at the BELLA you will save over $15,000 in tax. If you buy a two bedroom you will save at least $26,000! Sound incredible? It is incredible, but remember it is only for a limited time until August 9, 2010.

Remember to check out our open house, Saturday & Sundays from 1-4pm. There are only a few units left, come by and take a peek!

In this video, Liana Yap discusses some of the amazing highlights of the beautiful BELLA building in Burnaby. Construction has now wrapped up and only a few units remain, so we thought that we would give you a peek at another one of the fantastic homes still for sale. Take advantage of the timing & beat the HST, these homes are brand new and completely move-in-ready.

The unit in this video is Unit 205, a 2 bedroom + den, 2 bathroom condominium with approximately 500 square feet of wraparound private patio space. This amount of outdoor living area is simply unheard of anywhere else in Burnaby. Perfect for the gardener, BBQ chef or simply a family looking for a bit of extra space to enjoy. You can take a look at the floorplan below, or come by and visit the sales team on the weekends. We are open Sat & Sun from 12-5 and would love to see you. From Edmonds St. and Canada way, have yourselves a BELLA day!

Over the past year, this medium of blogging, and also Twitter, has allowed us to meet a lot of like-minded people. Last year, when we wrecked a floor to test the quality of our own laminate flooring products, Bella Living was there in the form of Peter Kefalas, who attended our patio party and helped us wreck our floor – he’s the one who brought the pickaxe!

Watching us wreck our floor, and watching us make videos of us doing it ran parallel to Peter’s own efforts in video. His efforts of course have been more constructive, rather than destructive.

He and his team have showed you how the Bella Homes development went from a construction project to a finished project of beautiful homes. We were pleased to be involved, in our small way. And now that the project is completed, BuildDirect’s Marc McPherson took a stroll over to Bella to see what the results of our involvement are. We supplied laminate flooring, and sinks. Take a look at this video (where we don’t wreck anything – this time!)

Rob Jones is a marketer, blogger, and social media implementer at BuildDirect. He hasn’t knowingly wrecked a floor in months …

Welcome to unit 406 at the BELLA in Burnaby, BC. Take a look at the video, where Gerald Kelly of Sutton West Coast shows us through our last remaining 1 bedroom + den condo on the top floor. This particular unit has fantastic 11 foot ceilings, and an amazing view of the mountains to the north. This is one of our most popular plans, and this particular unit will not last for long. This particular unit has a very good sized den, with power & prewired for high-speed internet – the perfect home office, a rarity in today’s 1 bedroom condos.

With move-in dates staring next week, this could be your brand new home! Our sales team will be conducting tours of finished suites on Saturday & Sunday, from 12 – 5pm so please come on down, this could be one of your last chances to own such a spacious 1 bed + den condominium in Burnaby. Any questions, just send us a note at info@bellalivling.ca we would love to hear from you.

Cleaning is well underway as we get ready for the final touches at BELLA in Burnaby. There are still a few super-sweet deals to be had, with move-in dates in March 2010. As such, we thought we would take a moment and show off one of the units by giving you an exclusive video tour. Take a moment and let Gerald Kelly from our sales team show you around, or better yet come down and take a look for yourself.

Unit 304 is one of our third floor 2 bedroom + den units. At 1024 square feet, it is on of the largest 2 bedroom condos on the market in the area. The unit features 9′ ceilings, and fantastic mountain views. You can download the floorplan for this unit here.

We will be holding open houses this weekend and next, from 12-5 pm as we prepare to sell the remaining few units. Any questions, or to book an appointment, please feel free to contact our sales team. From Edmonds & Canada Way, have yourselves a Bella day!

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.

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.
