Edmonton, AB and Pender Harbour, BC, Aug. 15, 2006 – Whittakers, a luxury oceanfront community on the Sunshine Coast, announced today results of its first sales event for its Pender Harbour community. 50% of the oceanfront homes and homesites in the architect-designed resort community are now sold, with one south west facing home going for $1.75 million. Waterfront homes sites start at $300,000. Architecturally inspired homes start at $875,000. Whittakers features low bank, southerly facing views in a protected bay - each with its own slip at the private deep-water marina. Whittakers is now selling the remaining properties in this exclusive community.
Edmonton businessman Jay Champigny was so taken with Whittakers he purchased one of the Oceanfront homes as a present for his wife. “This is a gift of love for my wife and our family. We were looking for a site with low banks and a view of the water. My wife is a writer and scuba diver and this place will inspire her. A resort home offers us a retreat from the hectic demands of today’s world and we liked sense of community with Whittakers.”
Whittakers has been conceived as a traditional waterfront community with the deep-water marina, and a slip for each home owner, providing a social gathering spot and access to the calm waters of Pender Harbour.
Peter Ruben, Whittakers partner and chair of Rockwater Properties, “For many Albertans the Sunshine Coast offers an intimate hideaway with a sense a community and true waterfront living. Whittakers does inspire those with a preference for a natural setting. Mr. Champigny and his wife can look forward to life at an oceanfront community while still living in the Prairies.”
Each home at Whittakers is custom designed by Drew Rose of Still Point Architecture to fit the area’s unique topography, maximize views, and follow two architectural design styles, West Coast Arts and Crafts and a more modern West Coast Contemporary design.
James Askew, President of rareEarth Project Marketing, who is managing the sales and marketing for Whittakers, says, “The successful sales-to-date at Whittakers is indicative of the spectacular nature of the location and the home designs. The Sunshine Coast continues to be a huge favourite for buyers from Vancouver, and now the Alberta market has its sights set firmly on it due to its easy access and pure natural beauty.”
Whittakers is located 2.5 hours away from Vancouver and the Calgary airport. 30 minutes north of Sechelt in Pender Harbour, Whittakers can be reached via a 40 minute Ferry from West Vancouver to Langdale and a 70 minute drive to the Whittakers’ site. Or by float plane, as regularly scheduled flights will fly from Vancouver to the Whittakers’ dock or to Rockwater Secret Cove.
Whittakers is situated on a peninsula with homes following an outer ridge of the shoreline to maximize over 14 acres and over 1000 feet of shoreline waterfront. Rigorous architectural planning ensures that the surrounding environment of each home will be left in its natural state.
Home owners will also have an un-paralleled service opportunity with Rockwater Concierge, an optional resort concierge service operated out of Rockwater Secret Cove Resort, that includes property management, rental management, security and service checks, house cleaning, and grocery, laundry, and catering services.
