Vancouver is a city with plenty to offer its residents, but unfortunately, up until now, affordable housing wasn’t on the list. With the advent of a new style of home construction, that’s all about to change.
Thousands of city planners, developers and builders were in town recently for the Urban Land Institute conference. Vancouver was lauded as being a great place to live, but also a very expensive place.
However, new ‘micro lofts’ may offer a solution.
They are very compact, and appeal to those who don’t own their own vehicle and don’t have a lot of household items to store.
These units have become so popular lately that people are willing to line up outdoors overnight just for the chance to purchase or rent one. Several new developments have been built, and they have proven to be hugely popular.
Most of these units tend to be around 265 square feet and offer no on-site parking. This makes them in inexpensive choice for developers and residents alike.
One of the main concepts of these lofts is that the surrounding neighborhood is treated as the main living space. This is excellent news for small businesses in the area, as the people who live in them tend to shop and socialize locally.
Brochure printers can help to build public interest and awareness of this latest concept in urban housing. They can create beautiful, full-color publications that demonstrate the benefits of living in a micro loft.
