Four months since our last update, and progress at the site of Alfa in central Richmond has been moving along swiftly. The 15-storey, 109-unit residential high-rise by Andrew Cheung Architects Inc. now stands at least 4 levels above grade, its large podium now close to full height.
Located at 8151 Anderson Rd, near the intersection of No. 3 Rd and Granville Ave, Alfa will place residents within close proximity to the Brighouse SkyTrain station, in addition to the many restaurants and big box stores that line the ever-popular CF Richmond Centre nearby. Well-situated close to transit and local services, Alfa will be a popular address for those looking for a mix of high-rise living and suburban convenience.
Encompassing a multi-level parking garage and a single row of ground-floor retail, the podium base will support the entirety of the attached multi-volume residential tower. For its part, the tower will be arranged in layers, thus allowing for the eventual placement of multiple rooftop terraces and gardens.
Once complete, Alfa will be a fine addition to Richmond, the Vancouver suburb quickly transforming to meet the demands of a growing city.
