Stef – Happy home owner at Rainbow

http://www.rainbowatwhistler.ca/

This week the Rainbow Development in Whistler re-opened their doors and invited local Whistler residents to drop by…. As you are aware the real estate market in many places across North America has been less than cooperative.

“We were not expecting it to be a busy weekend…. so when over 30 locals came by to view pricing and plans we were pleasantly surprised and very happy” said Luis Garcia President of the Rainbow Joint Venture.

Whistler still has a pent up demand for affordable housing, but today the playing field has changed…. Buyers are more cautious, the fine details of financing seem to be much more important. Purchasing a home at Rainbow can be a little more complicated than a non-resident restricted property. At Rainbow you buy the land and then sign a separate construction contract with an approved builder. The sales team at Rainbow has dedicated themselves to walking purchasers through the process making it as understandable as possible.

The property where Rainbow is located was once a ski hill many years ago. It is situated between Alpine Meadows and Emerald overlooking the spectacular beauty of Green Lake and the surrounding mountain tops both Whistler and Blackcomb. Some of the views from Rainbow are the best in Whistler.

Rainbow is a master planned community with a 25,000 square foot commercial centre, condominiums, duplex, detached homes and both resident restricted and market lots. Affordability is the secret to Rainbow.

 Commercial

The commercial buildings at Rainbow will start to break ground early next year. A gas station, daycare and large grocery store are just a few of future buildings planned. This is one of the major features in making this new neighborhood a great place to call home.

At the present time there are over 100 families living at Rainbow and from speaking with many of them there is nothing better than owning their own piece of Whistler. When completed there will be just under 1000 residents calling Rainbow home.

Please take a look at the gallery of pictures below…Gorgeous!

Luis Garcia believes this is one of the most beautiful areas in Whistler. He is building a home at Rainbow himself. He has been so busy finishing roads, working with hydro and the many builders at Rainbow he has neglected to enjoy the other fabulous things Whistler offers… Like biking or hiking… Luis is dedicated to the success of Rainbow and you only need to speak with him to hear his passion.

How can I purchase a home in Rainbow?

To be eligible to purchase one of these homes you must have been qualified by the Whistler Housing Authority. You must be a Whistler resident, either employed here or retired. To understand this process in detail please refer to the Whistler Housing Authority directly.
