Located at 82 1st Street, First & Royal is a sophisticated addition to New Westminster’s historic landscape. Developed by Areva Living, this project seamlessly blends the city’s rich heritage with modern urban living, offering a collection of condos and townhomes designed for the next generation of residents.
The Building: Modern Comfort Meets Heritage Design
First & Royal stands as a tribute to New Westminster’s past while looking toward the future. The architecture takes inspiration from the surrounding historic neighborhood, featuring wood and stucco exteriors that echo the aesthetic of the nearby 1890s EMN Woods Cottage.
Inside, the residences are designed for maximum functionality and style. The building offers "attainable luxury" with a focus on family-sized living, including air conditioning, secure parking, and storage for all homes. One of the standout features is the extensive amenity package, highlighted by what is arguably the best rooftop in the city.
The Neighborhood: The Heart of New Westminster
Situated in "The Original Downtown," First & Royal puts you in the center of a community known for its authenticity and craftsmanship. The location offers the perfect balance of quiet residential charm and vibrant urban energy.
Parks and Recreation: Just steps away is the iconic 75-acre Queen’s Park, home to mature trails, sports fields, a rose garden, and a petting zoo. A short walk south leads to the rejuvenated Westminster Pier Park and the scenic Fraser River waterfront.
Culinary and Culture: The neighborhood is a hub for independent businesses and "foodie" favorites. Residents are minutes away from the River Market, Steel & Oak Brewing Co., and local staples like PIVA Modern Italian and Great Wall Tea Co.
Connectivity: Living here means "all the cool without the big city prices." The Columbia SkyTrain Station is within walking distance, providing a bridge-free commute to Burnaby, Coquitlam, and downtown Vancouver. Educational institutions like Douglas College and various elementary and middle schools are also nearby, making it an ideal spot for growing families.
First & Royal offers a rare opportunity to live in a community that honors its history while providing all the modern conveniences of a premium Metro Vancouver development.
