  • We are deeply committed to providing solutions to the housing crisis. We'll be offering lots in the market at prices that are below the cost of other land available in Paradise Valley or Squamish.

    While we have set a maximum limit on housing size to maintain the community aesthetic and feel, we've consciously decided not to set a minimum limit. This approach enables potential homeowners to build according to their financial capabilities, making housing more accessible and affordable.

    Additionally, each property has the ability to include a secondary, legal income-producing suite. This not only makes homeownership more feasible for many but also fosters a diverse and vibrant community that includes renters.

    This sort of trespassing poses serious risks, and our plan aims to transform the area into a community with private lots, preserving both its natural beauty and ensuring safety.

  • We're actively collaborating with the executive of the Paradise Valley Community Association and the District to ensure that our project provides fire protection to the Paradise Trails community. There are plans for a volunteer fire hall, complete with a truck and equipment, as well as upgrades to the local bridge and road to improve emergency response time and access.
