Location

The Aspen Grove development is located just over a kilometer east of downtown Rossland. Rossland is a quaint, beautiful mountain-town, tucked high in the Monashee Mountains in beautiful British Columbia.

Nestled in a crater of an ancient volcano, this historic alpine city is one of Canada’s highest, providing world-class powder skiing with an annual snowfall of over seven metres. Though best known as a winter paradise, in the other three seasons, the surrounding mountains and valleys offer hundreds of kilometers of trails for both mountain bike, berry picking and hiking adventures – all accessible from Aspen Grove. The climate is gentle and idyllic: mild winters, little wind and over 2000 hours of sunshine annually.

Rossland defines the Kootenay lifestyle: It truly is the best place to live, work and play. Rest, recreate, retire!

The Project

Aspen Grove – an opportunity to develop 18 homes set on one and half acres with three and a half acres as designated park just below. The 5 contemporary buildings house two- or three-bedroom suites each with two and a half bathrooms, around 1600 ft² of interior living space and generous exterior sun decks.

The suites are a combination of two-level units and single-level condos, intelligently designed for privacy and convenience. Ample outdoor space provides for residents to create a community garden and other shared outdoor spaces to foster community. The site is pedestrian orientated with barrier free design and discrete parking complete with a ground level secure storage – perfect for housing your gear to enjoy the mountains with.
