More than just a place to live
East Van Cohousing is a newly established cohousing community in Norquay Village neighbourhood.
Our project is in the planning and design phase, and we aim to move in by the summer of 2027.
We're open to new members who are looking to own a unit in our cohousing community.
Our project
Great location
Our cohousing community will be at 2728-2748 Duke Street, a quiet, green, residential street in East Van's beautiful Norquay neighbourhood.
The site is an 8-minute walk to 29th Ave Skytrain (on the Expo line), near multiple bus stops and dedicated bike paths.
Nearby we have John Norquay Elementary, Windermere Secondary, and Renfrew Community Centre and Library. We're close to three parks - Slocan, the Renfrew Ravine, and Norquay.
Shared amenities
East Van Cohousing will be built around a shared “common house” for socializing and community activities, including a large shared dining room and kitchen. (Each unit will also have it's own kitchen, dining area, lounge etc like any regular condo!)
We have also planned for a dedicated playroom, a guest suite, a co-working space, bike room, personal storage, car parking (likely with EV chargers), and a rooftop garden. And if we're lucky, maybe even a small sauna on the roof!
Expert guidance
While decisions about our project are guided by our community members, we hire high-quality expertise at every stage of the project.
Our community is proudly facilitated by the Amisto Cohousing Society. Our building design has been supported by distinguished architect and Cohousing expert, Charles Durrett, who has helped to design and build over 55 Cohousing communities in North America. His most recent book is “Cohousing Communities” if you're interested in reading more!
