Modello By Boffo ~ Five-star living at its best

By Diane Duflot

Following on the success of Jewel I and II, recipient of the CHBA National SAM awards for Best Multi-Family Project in Canada, Boffo raises the bar again with Modello, their latest Burnaby development. For over 40 years, Boffo has established a reputation as one of BC’s boutique homebuilders, offering elegant, luxury living, with what Alexa Paukkunen, sales and marketing director for Magnum Projects, calls an “obsession for detail.” This is certainly true of Modello, a 37 storey mixed-use tower offering spacious one-, two- and three-bedroom homes with distinct character for the discerning buyer.

“What are upgrades elsewhere are standard features here,” says Paukkunen, “Every suite is an executive suite. This is five star living at its best.” Among the luxury features included are air-conditioning, nine-foot ceilings, custom millwork, recessed LED lighting, marble backsplashes in both kitchens and bathrooms, wide-plank hardwood floors throughout main living areas and heated marble floors in bathrooms.

The Miele appliance package reads like a designer’s wish list: stainless steel gas cooktop, wall oven, fully integrated dishwasher and 36” fridge with integrated custom panel finish and separate wine fridge. With features like these, these kitchens are sure to be a dream to cook in.

Environmentally conscious buyers will be pleased that the building uses state-of-the-art geothermal heating and cooling technology to keep them at the right temperature year round.

“All homes also have large terraces,” says Paukkunen, “allowing for expansive indoor and outdoor living.” And she assures that “no matter where you are located in the building the views here will be incredible.”

Depending on where their home is situated, lucky residents will have views of Central Park, the North Shore mountains or downtown with mountains in the background. The rooftop amenity space, which features a full fitness center, whirlpool, private dining area, lounge with a catering kitchen, as well as landscaped rooftop terrace is the perfect vantage from which to soak it all in.

Modello’s location in Burnaby offers the best of all worlds: at Beresford and Willingdon, Modello provides easy access to the shopping at Metrotown, while allowing its residents to dwell in a more tranquil setting near Central Park. Plans for neighbourhood improvement are in the works: The City of Burnaby’s proposed Beresford art walk will convert Beresford into an expanded pedestrian walkway with street level art, cafes, dining and entertainment.

Previews begin October 19th.
