Whistler’s Athletes Village becomes Resident Housing

Cheakamus Crossing is a unique and exceptional neighborhood designed with both the needs of the local community and the environment in mind. One of Whistler’s most talked-about Olympic legacies, the neighborhood is currently being built prior to the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games to house visiting athletes, and will be converted post-Games into a vibrant, local community with a diverse housing mix and front door access to countless recreational opportunities and neighborhood conveniences.

All the resident restricted properties at Cheakamus Crossing have been made available for sale beginning in the Fall of 2008. The Whistler Real Estate Company has been administering the sales for this project with Greg Ambrose and Frances Davis as the main point of contact. Prospective purchasers on the Whistler Housing Authority waitlist for Cheakamus Crossing are being given the opportunity to purchase a property based on individual waitlist priority order. The resident restricted properties are being well received with a mixed offering able to meet varying budgets and needs. To date, over half of the 221 resident restricted properties have been sold in a short 5 week period.

Stay tuned: Cheakamus Crossing has a number of market opportunities ranging from home sites to spacious 3 bedroom townhomes. These will be available for viewing in early 2009.
