Forget the museum, because today’s art is taking to the street. From articulated steel
salmon “swimming” up a water wall to a tractor that transforms into giant fl ower garden over the course of a year, art is everywhere – and espe-cially, increasingly, in the grounds and plazas of new residential devel-opments.
One such development is The Shore in North Vancouver. A long-time leader in the quest to bring art into the public realm, Adera Development Corporation’s most recent achieve-ment is the unveiling of The Shore Art Walk (pictured) – four newly commis-sioned local art pieces located at the new development.
“Over 50 artists from around the world responded to our initial pub-lic art call, but the fi nal selections were all local, BC artists: Michael Vandermeer based on Granville
Island, Coastal Salish carver John Marston, and Coast Salish artist Jody Broomfi eld,” says Norm Couttie, president of Adera. “The art walk sums up Adera’s ‘Live West Coast’ philosophy and allows us to share our appreciation of local artists while helping create a new and vibrant west coast community.”
Changing Face of ArtThere’s a good reason that devel-
opers are increasingly adopting pub-lic art into their public spaces.
“Art adds a diff erent dimension, a unique and distinct vibe, to com-munity spaces because people tend to slow down and linger,” says Don Forsgren, president and CEO of development group Intracorp. Ultimately, that’s got to be good for sales, with even non-residents engaging in the public spaces cre-ated by a new development. Today’s
public art draws in passers-by, encourages conversation or debate, and often sends an open invitation to touch or even sit and climb on it.
“For example, at Metro Place in Burnaby, we commissioned two chrome art pieces – Shed One and Shed Two – that appear to be antlers ‘shed’ by a deer,” Forsgren says. “One faces up so people can sit on it – and they do – the other has the points down so it becomes a shelter.”
He’s also delighted by the prog-ress being made on an Intracorp-commissioned Douglas Coupland sculpture – a gold-coloured replica of the famous Hollow Tree in Stanley Park – that will defi ne the northeast corner of Marine Drive and Cambie Street in Vancouver. “When we commissioned this piece, we want-ed something that would become a landmark, a place where people
might meet before going to the the-atre or out for dinner.” It will also preserve a beloved piece of the city’s history that would otherwise eventu-ally rot away.
Conversation and EngagementEarlier this year, Wesgroup cre-
ated a fl urry of discussion and a few raised eyebrows when they installed a 133-foot neon sign stating “The Sappers Were Here” in their Brewery District master-planned community. Beau Jarvis, senior vice-president of development, notes that while most people now equate Sapperton with a New Westminster SkyTrain station, “sappers” – the engineering division of the British Military – were instru-mental in settling much of the area.
In Surrey, Rize Alliance recently became the fi rst developer to incor-porate a commissioned art piece into a residential community in the
emerging Surrey City Centre neigh-bourhood. Nautilus, by Doug R Yaylor, is an abstract interpretation of the moonshell crab found through-out local waters and the mathemati-cal perfection of the Golden Spiral (Fibonacci).
Challenges of CurationBarbara Cole, an art consultant
and curator, adds that large master-planned communities pose a special challenge. “When you’re looking at multi-phased communities like The Shore that unfold over time, you’re really building an art collection — meaning you need to decide what type of collection you want and what sort of thematic connection the piec-es will have.”
For most though, public art doesn’t need to be complicated… it just need to be something wondrous, inspiring and accessible.

For those who are considering purchasing a home in Morgan Crossing now is the time to do it.
In the heart of South Surrey, in a master planned community off ering a unique blend of urban appeal and rural charm, Hyde Park is a townhome community sitting on more than 10 acres; with three acres of private forested parkland featuring several walking trails.
“The fi rst phase is 95 per cent sold and we are now releasing most of the homes in Phase two, consisting of 40 townhomes,” says Donna Dalkie, Sales Manager, Zenterra Developments.
“We also just released four of our park side units with walkout south facing backyards.” These transitional Arts and Crafts designed homes, with brick and cedar shake accents, feature an eclectic colour palette which has never been seen in the area. Inside, the West coast contemporary residences, ranging from 1300 to 2800 square feet, off er a selection of three and four bedroom homes.
“Two of our signature plans include one with a master on the main and the other an open family plan, which is a generous 2,800 square foot home,” adds Dalkie.
The extra-spacious interiors are distinguished by engineered laminate wide plank fl ooring throughout the
main, sprawling windows to bring the outdoors in and luxurious master ensuites with tile surround. The gour-met kitchens include your choice of Shaker-style or Italian two-toned con-temporary cabinetry, islands, quartz countertops, single slab quartz back-splash and a stainless steel appliance package.
Hyde Park will feature Zenterra’s Signature Entertainment Wall, which was so well received in Zen. This custom-built wall is distinguished by a fully integrated wire management system and accentuated by a custom designed modern elongated electric fi replace.
Residents will enjoy exclusive entry into the private Lancaster Club - a 5500 square foot two-level clubhouse featuring a a lounge area with fully equipped kitchen, gym, media room, games room, multi-purpose sports room and a fully landscaped outdoor patio with barbecue and seating area to encourage a sense of community.
Hyde Park is minutes away from White Rock, with its sandy beaches, fi ne dining, prized golf courses and its famous promenade seaside board-walk. In addition, it is close to public transit, fi tness facilities, community amenities, as well as Highway 99 and the US border.
Hyde Park is yet another example of the quality that Zenterra Developments is well known for; they are the stan-dards the company delivered in its last two hugely successful projects – Zen and Boardwalk. The award-winning developer won two GVHBA awards for Best Interior Design Display Suite and Best Marketing Campaign for Hyde Park.
The uncommon elegance and high-end features appointed in every suite make these truly beautiful homes. This is a wonderful opportunity to be part of a scenic and lively neighbourhood minutes from great schools, parks, beaches, shopping, culture, and enter-tainment.
With prices starting at $489,990 (including GST) discover why Hyde Park is selling so well. The Grand Opening of its three new showhomes and presentation centre happens Saturday, Nov. 14 from noon to 5 p.m. The presentation centre is now located at 2853 Helc Place in South Surrey which will be open daily from noon to 5 p.m.
For more information, call 604-506-1852, email [email protected] or visit www.hydeparkliving.ca. Occupancy starts as early as November 2015 for master on the main and spring 2016 for phase 2 homes.
