Just as every community imagined by Boffo Developments is built with a long-term legacy in mind, so too is the Northern Italian town Bassano del Grappa, where the Boffo family's roots run deep. As the town developed, it attracted skillful artisans, artists and creators, who left their masterpieces for future generations to enjoy.
Boffo's newest masterpiece, Bassano, a nod to their Italian heritage, is a four-tower Italian-inspired master-planned community, anchored by history, designed for the future. In collaboration with Arcadis Architecture, it sits on the fringe of sought-after Brentwood, a neighbourhood brimming with culture and conveniences, with proximity to Holdom SkyTrain, nature, retail and restaurants.
It's a fitting return to Burnaby for the developer, where it all began for the Boffo family more than 50 years ago. Bassano centres on a sense of belonging and connection to community, an intimate urban village grounded in family, togetherness and discovery.
"Bassano promises to forge a lasting legacy in Burnaby, for the region, the Boffo family and homeowners alike," says Karen West, vice-president, sales and marketing, Boffo Developments.
The first release is a 43-storey tower, featuring 318 one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, ranging from 649 to 2,144 square feet, boasting an impressive set of amenities that embody a boutique living experience.
Beautiful interiors, authentic Italian living
With exacting attention to detail, Trepp Design Inc. masterfully integrates each exceptionally designed home with materials and finishings imported directly from Italy. In a word—bellissima!
What's not to love about Italian-imported custom cabinetry, built-in wardrobe systems, Italian porcelain slab backsplashes, full-size integrated Bertazzoni appliances and Gessi kitchen and bathroom fixtures? It's clear: the value behind Bassano cannot be understated.
"We design and appeal to the owner-occupier, people that want more livable space, whether they're downsizing from their large single-family home, or starting a new family and this is an alternative to having a single-family house," explains West.
Take a break from your kitchen by visiting the Market Café at street level (along Springer), where an Italian passion for food is reflected in a convenient community hub that also provides the perfect stop for daily essentials.
Amenities that enhance social connection and wellness
With a meticulous approach, the Italian inspiration — designed not only to be seen, but to be felt — draws on the spirit of family gatherings and connectivity, as expressed in the multiple spaces that balance modern comfort — the grand and the intimate.
"We have intentionally programmed all of the spaces to extend your home beyond your personal space," says West.
Livability seamlessly transpires from indoors to out, with a pathway meandering around the lushly landscaped perimeter of the entire Bassano community, ideal for a stroll before a rest at the connecting 23,000-square-foot park that includes a bocce court, children's playground and dog run.
Transition indoors to the elegant and purposeful gathering spaces on the ground level, like the lobby lounge, which will have you feeling transported to another realm, where opulence and a professional concierge welcome you home.
Intentional amenities include a work-share lounge, with communal spaces to collaborate and soundproof pods for concentration, favoured for Zoom meets or a quiet phone call; a family lounge with catering kitchen and dining, extending to a covered outdoor expanse with barbeques; soft seating around fire pits, multi-purpose media room, plus games space — think billiards and designated children's play area.
Take advantage of two guest suites for your overnight visitors to have a little more space to themselves.
Workouts and wellness converge on the second level at the health club, with a fully-equipped gym, yoga and barre studio, steam room, infrared sauna and beautifully appointed change rooms with showers.
On the 43rd floor, unwind, converse and soak in sunsets on the rooftop lounge, including firepits, among the multiple terraces, where tranquility is backdropped by spectacular city to mountaintop panoramic views.
Don't miss this continuation of Boffo's legacy that builds on the enduring ambition to explore new ground, where you can rewrite your own story — every day.
"Bassano is a very special project that has been more than 20 years in the making," reveals West, "and it's very exciting that it's finally coming to fruition."
