Vancouver’s New Urban Heritage: Modern Brownstone Living at King and Columbia

Nestled in the heart of Vancouver’s coveted Cambie Corridor, King and Columbia presents an exclusive collection of 30 sophisticated brownstone townhomes and city homes. This boutique development by Forme Development combines timeless architecture with contemporary urban living just two blocks from King Edward Station.

Location and Transit Excellence

The King Edward Canada Line Station sits just minutes away, offering rapid transit connections to downtown Vancouver, Richmond, and Vancouver International Airport. This transit-oriented location provides exceptional mobility options. Residents can reach downtown Vancouver in under 15 minutes or YVR Airport in approximately 20 minutes. Multiple bike routes surround the development, promoting active transportation throughout the city. Regular bus service adds another convenient transit option for residents.

A Vibrant Urban Community

The neighborhood surrounding King and Columbia offers an enviable mix of recreation, shopping, and dining options. Queen Elizabeth Park‘s stunning gardens and recreational facilities lie within easy walking distance. The park features serene walking paths, pitch and putt golf, and spectacular city views. Hillcrest Community Centre, just steps away, provides comprehensive fitness facilities including an aquatic center, gym, ice rink, and library. The beloved Nat Bailey Stadium hosts Vancouver Canadians baseball games and a popular weekly farmers market.

Main Street’s eclectic collection of independent shops, cafes, and restaurants is just four blocks east, offering some of Vancouver’s most diverse dining options and boutique shopping. The revitalized Oakridge Centre, Vancouver’s luxury shopping destination, is a short five-minute drive away. This prime location balances peaceful residential living with urban convenience, sitting on a quiet tree-lined street while maintaining easy access to city amenities.

Distinguished Design and Architecture

Yamamoto Architecture has created a sophisticated interpretation of brownstone architecture that honors the classic style while incorporating modern elements. The Mill Design Group‘s thoughtful interiors feature ceiling heights up to 10 feet, engineered hardwood flooring, and spa-inspired bathrooms. Distinguished kitchens showcase asymmetric islands with knife-edge detail, matte-finish accent cabinetry, and engineered stone counters. Select homes feature built-in wine fridges and premium Fisher & Paykel appliances.

Each home includes private outdoor space, with select units offering rooftop decks. The homes are notably wider than typical townhomes, creating bright, airy spaces ideal for both daily living and entertaining. Landscaping by Loci Landscape Architecture defines serene outdoor enclaves for residents.
