In the ever-evolving realm of real estate development, the masterplan community has emerged as a compelling concept that takes a holistic approach to urban living. Designed as fully thought-out neighborhoods, a masterplan community brings together all elements – residential, commercial, recreational, and green spaces – for greater community, comfort, and convenience. Here we highlight the top masterplan communities from across the Lower Mainland to discover how every project can appeal to different lifestyles and preferences by offering something unique. 
Century City at Holland Park
Downtown Surrey
Century City in the heart of Downtown Surrey was designed to offer its residents a parkside home rooted in nature. Designed to strike a balance between the natural world and the surrounding urban energy, the residential towers extend into Holland Park’s sweeping 25-acre grounds. A stroll outside involves weaving through the park’s gardens, sports fields, fountains, and grassy knolls. On-site, Century City is brimming with more nature-inspired spaces, including its greenhouse and apple orchard to incite more farm-to-table meals grown from home.
Inside, the homes exemplify the modern urban sanctuary while overlooking Holland Park. Each home has a family-sized kitchen with ample room for dining and entertaining, expansive windows to enjoy the urban vistas, and access to 40,000 sq ft of amenity spaces to explore.
