Parker to rise in Surrey City Centre

At Parker, Mosaic Homes’ new development of apartments and townhomes in Surrey City Centre, residents will enjoy easy access to both nature and city life with a parkside setting at the edge of a growing metropolitan hub.
Parker consists of three four-storey buildings featuring one-, two-, and three-bedroom townhomes and condos at 105 A Avenue and 139th Street. In the first phase of development, with 218 units on the market, buyers can choose from four plans.
The development is set adjacent to seven and a half acres of green space at Forsyth Park, and an easy stroll or bike ride from Hawthorne Rotary Park.
While Parker’s location offers plenty of green space, it also promises the convenience of urban amenities. Parker is walking distance to Surrey Central SkyTrain Station and a wide range of shopping centres, restaurants and services.
“People are very excited about what is happening (at) Surrey City Centre in terms of the economic development and the jobs that are being added there,” says Mosaic’s senior vice-president of marketing, Geoff Duyker. “We’ve seen a lot of young people from the neighbourhood who have decided that they are ready to buy their first home. Parker’s been a great fit for them based on it being in a part of the city where they want to live and at a price point that they can afford.”
On the outside, Mosaic’s signature Georgian-style architectural elements are back – and better than ever. “We took the best and further refined it for Parker,” says Duyker. “It is an evolution of this style with even more rich details – like brick entries and colourful red doors on the ground-level townhomes.”
One of the distinguishing features of these new homes is the 10-foot-high ceilings. “This does two things,” says Duyker. “It gives it a lot of volume and storage space in the homes and it also allows for really big windows that will let in a lot of light.”
Buyers can choose from two colour palettes for their home: Oak or Walnut. The Oak palette features matte white-on-taupe cabinetry combined with classic herringbone patterned luxury vinyl oak-look flooring. And the Walnut palette offers the dramatic contrast of matte white cabinets with a dark walnut finish on the flooring.
The display home is the two-bedroom Hyde plan, where buyers can get a feel for the warm Oak palette. Flat-panel upper cabinets complement Shaker-style lower cabinets. The matte black lower cabinet hardware and faucet provide an elegant contrast to the white backsplash subway tiles. The butcher block harvest table is available as an optional upgrade.
“Parker has kitchens designed around a flexible harvest table that’s great for preparing, dining or working,” explains Stephanie Da Silva, director of interior design at Mosaic Homes.
Da Silva adds that the interior design of Parker is part of Mosaic’s signature interior design collection. “It’s a look and feel that is not classic versus contemporary, or less versus more. It’s both. It is a look that is modern while infused with tradition.”
