Why choose a concrete home?

Vancouver Oakridge Ashleigh Condo - Alma building

When you are searching for a new home in Vancouver, one of the most important—and often overlooked—decisions is the type of building construction. While wood frame condos are more common in boutique projects, concrete homes offer a level of comfort, durability, and long-term value that is hard to beat.

At Ashleigh, a boutique 4-storey community in Oakridge, every home is built with solid concrete construction. And with construction already underway, homebuyers can look forward to moving into a residence designed for today’s lifestyle and tomorrow’s investment value.

Built to last—the enduring strength of concrete

Concrete is known for its durability. It stands the test of time, resisting wear, weather, and structural shifts better than wood. In a city like Vancouver, where rain and moisture are part of everyday life, concrete’s resilience adds peace of mind.

For homeowners, that means a stronger, longer-lasting building with fewer long-term maintenance concerns. At Ashleigh, this translates into a community that will maintain its structural integrity and curb appeal for generations.

Designed for serenity—quieter living

One of the most noticeable lifestyle benefits of concrete construction is quiet living. Concrete naturally dampens sound transmission, helping to block noise better between suites and floors.

In urban settings, that makes all the difference—whether it’s muffling street traffic or simply enjoying privacy from neighbours. At Ashleigh, residents can retreat to homes designed for tranquillity, while still being steps from the energy of Oakridge.

Comfort all year—energy efficiency in action

Concrete construction also contributes to energy efficiency. Its thermal mass helps regulate indoor temperatures by absorbing and slowly releasing heat. That means your home stays warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, with less reliance on heating and cooling systems.

Combined with Ashleigh’s modern windows, energy-efficient systems, and thoughtful design, residents can expect year-round comfort while lowering environmental impact.

Built-in value—a smarter long term investment

For homeowners thinking about long-term value, concrete homes are a proven investment. They typically retain their appeal longer, command higher resale values, and are increasingly in demand as buyers become more discerning about build quality.

Located in the heart of Vancouver’s Oakridge neighbourhood, Ashleigh combines concrete construction with a location poised for transformation. With the redevelopment of Oakridge Centre and rapid transit at your doorstep, a home here is designed to appreciate in more ways than one. And because Ashleigh is already under construction, purchasers can feel confident that this vision is well underway.

Boutique by design—small scale, big advantages

Unlike many large concrete towers in Vancouver, Ashleigh is a boutique community of just four storeys. That means residents enjoy the solidity and soundproofing of concrete, without the overwhelming scale of a high-rise. It is the best of both worlds—the strength of solid construction in an intimate, neighbourly setting.

More than strong—what sets Ashleigh apart

Concrete construction is just the foundation of what makes Ashleigh special. Inside, every home is finished with refined details—from Miele appliances to natural stone finishes—and designed for modern living with efficient layouts and generous storage. Amenities such as rooftop lounges and a well-equipped fitness studio further elevate the experience.

When you combine the durability and comfort of concrete with Ashleigh’s boutique design, prime West Side location, and the reassurance of active construction progress, the choice becomes clear—Ashleigh is not just a home built to last, it is a community built to thrive.

Choosing a concrete home is about more than materials—it is about the lifestyle, comfort, and peace of mind that comes with superior construction. In Vancouver’s competitive real estate market, quality stands out.

At Ashleigh, every detail has been considered to ensure your home is not only solid in structure but also rich in design, location, and everyday livability. With construction already in motion, Ashleigh offers the rare chance to secure a home that is both enduring in build and exceptional in experience.
