Win a day of work space at @TheNetworkHub campus #NewWest with @TheSalientGroup

It occurs to me that it’s almost been a year and a half since my friends at The Network Hub and I sat down to talk about The Network Hub expanding to New Westminster. We had been looking around and because of Mayor Wright’s and Mark Shieh’s invites, the decision to settle in New Westminster was taken. And it’s been a wonderful year.

Through a partnership with The Salient Group (who are promoting their neighbourhood residential complex, Trapp+Holbrook, which is literally 2 minutes away from where The Network Hub Campus New Westminster is) The Network Hub is offering one day of working space AND, all the participants who tweet from the T+H viewing show, one will be drawn for a contest for 3 months worth of work space at The Network Hub Campus New Westminster. Check out their contest.

Robert Fung’s Salient Group is merging the old and the new with Trapp+Holbrook, waterfront homes in the heart of rejuvenated downtown New Westminster.

The Edwardian facades of the Trapp and Holbrook buildings will be reconstructed to face Columbia Street for another hundred years. The new Trapp+Holbrook will stand 20 storeys with panoramic views of the Fraser River. In this evolving neighbourhood, buyers will find excellent value with new homes starting at $219,900, with 100 homes priced under $299,900. Trapp+Holbrook’s 196 homes offer a range of sizes from 500 to 1,261 square feet, most of them with view balconies.

Located on Columbia Street — formerly known as the Golden Mile for its reputation as the shopping centre for the Lower Mainland — and backing on to Front Street, Trapp+Holbrook is in the heart of New Westminster’s downtown, an area that is fast attracting hip new businesses as well as earning a reputation as a cultural centre.

A convenient transit hub, downtown New Westminster is located in the centre of Metro Vancouver, just blocks away from two SkyTrain stations and accessible to both the Millennium and Expo lines to downtown Vancouver, Burnaby and Surrey. Trapp + Holbrook homeowners will also be steps away from shops and amenities including the River Market, Westminster Pier Park, and the new civic centre.

Completing in 2014, Trapp+Holbrook reinforces Salient’s commitment to the restoration of vibrant, walkable communities where residents will also be one block from SkyTrain. Previews begin Saturday, April 28th, 2012.
