This unique community brings together so many elements; rich history of residents, farmland, industrial lands, master planned future communities, regional specialty shopping, community shopping, all surrounded by waterfront. The master planned community of Port Royal is the vision for most new neighbourhoods in Metro Vancouver due to its smaller single family lots, missing middle densification of 6-plexes and 8-plexes, gently mixed with mid-rise and high rise developments. QB is a very exciting, growing neighbourhood that provides suburban safety and a community with conveniences all within 5 min drive. Enjoy!
