A RURAL EXPERIENCE

Ocean bluffs with long vistas, protected meadows and sun-dappled woodlands set the stage for the idyllic Seabright Farm in Point Roberts, Washington.

The classic cottages perfectly suit the casual lifestyle embodied by this property, a hidden gem that offers a quiet rural experience only a 35 kilometre drive from downtown Vancouver. Although Point Roberts is only 12.7 square kilometres, it boasts a 900-slip marina, a championship golf course and great restaurants.

farm—cottage owners will have access to vegetables, fruit, berries and flowers. Onsite gardener George Wright brings over five decades of organic farming experience that will not only provide Seabright Farm with a local food source, but will teach the neighbourhood the importance of locally-grown produce.

The Cottages at Seabright Farm will be designed in harmony with the landscape; cottages will be grouped together while allowing for private space around them. This layout avoids the suburban tract feeling and instead brings to mind a cluster of farm dwellings, creating a sense of community.

Small and curving roads and paths give the overall effect of a small rural settlement that preserves the authentic landscape.

URBAN AND ISLAND LIVING

Ward Village is Honolulu’s newest coastal neighbourhood, located in the heart of the city between downtown and Waikiki.

Thoughtfully curated and developed by The Howard Hughes Corporation, Ward Village brings a fresh, modern attitude to a cosmopolitan setting embracing the spirit of Hawaii’s culture.

The popular Ward Centers is situated within Ward Village and features over 135 boutiques and eateries. Visitors can explore dining options, unique stores—many locally-owned—and the cinema complex.

Pedestrian walkways, outdoor gathering spaces and a 60-acre coastal address round out Ward Village’s offerings and provide the perfect mix of urban and island living.

Each new building in Ward Village is planned to meet LEED certification and all the latest standards of green development.

The complex will feature the Ward Village Green, a multi-purpose space for convening, socializing and enjoying cultural events.

The development of Ward Village begins in summer 2014 with Waiea and Anaha—two mixed-use residential towers—signaling a new level of luxury in Hawaii. Waiea is a stunning 36-storey tower designed by Vancouver-based architect James Cheng and acclaimed interior designer Tony Ingrao. Anaha will usher in a new tone of architecture in Honolulu with its design-forward tower by Solomon Cordwell Buenz. Both towers offer residences, townhouses and penthouses.

Over the next decade Ward Village will continue to evolve into a diverse centre of more than one million square feet of unique retail experiences and 4,000 high-rise residential opportunities in an environmentally sustainable, integrated community.
