The architecture of the building that incorporates brick and wood panelling reflects the clean lines of West Coast-style, says Chroma spokesperson Michelle Des Rosiers, senior vice president of project operations for Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing, who adds the modern but timeless style is enhanced with details such as black framed windows and patio rails while the interiors will be a nod to the industrial heritage of Port Moody.
Chroma has a variety of floor plans, including one, two and three-bedroom homes ranging in size from 674 to 1,145 square feet. Buyers will enjoy stunning views of the North Shore Mountains, while those on the higher levels and facing north will appreciate peek-a-boo water views, adds Des Rosiers. The size of kitchens at Chroma in Port Moody varies, but quartz countertops, under-cabinet lighting and pullout under-cabinet pantries are a feature in all kitchens.While transit connections, proximity to the Burrard Inlet, nearby Rocky Point Park and walking trails like the Shoreline Trail, plus the many cafes, craft breweries and a farmer’s market, make it an attractive location, Des Rosiers notes many buyers are already residents in the city.
Amenities in the second storey courtyard, which connects to an indoor kitchen, include a barbecue, fire pit and a children’s play area.“The design of the units pulls in white textured brick paired with flat panel cabinetry in muted earth tones and contrasting rich black reminiscent of sun-bleached brick, forestry logs, and coal-stained machinery once found steps away in the nearby Burrard Inlet,” says McLeod.
Buyers can choose from two colour schemes – Naturally Urban, a light scheme with earthy tones, and Modern Industrial, a dark scheme with a more contemporary vibe featuring high contrast finishes .Article contentPhoto by SuppliedAlthough both schemes feature contrast in the finishes, they each present a design that will enable homebuyers to add their own style and flair to the space.
In both schemes, the handmade-style backsplash tiles are inspired by sun-bleached bricks from the old mill site. “We made it modern, but bring in the heritage detail,” says Russell.
