Transit hub at the neighbourhood centre

Connaught Heights sits in the far west portion of the City of New Westminster on the hillside above the Fraser River, between the West End neighbourhood to the east and the Burnaby boundary to the west, organized around 22nd Street SkyTrain station on the Expo Line. The neighbourhood is bounded roughly by Tenth Avenue to the north, the Stewardson Way alignment to the south near the Fraser River, the West End to the east, and the Burnaby boundary at the Twenty Second Street area to the west. The neighbourhood is one of the established residential pockets in New Westminster. The 22nd Street SkyTrain station serves as a major transit anchor with mid rise residential strata buildings clustered around it.

The housing stock here is layered across 55 years of build out. 1925 through 1940 heritage homes on some streets with substantial architectural integrity from the era. 1950s through 1970s post war single family on the central residential blocks representing the bulk of the housing. 1970s and 1980s newer construction filling out the build out. 1990s through 2010s mid rise residential strata at the 22nd Street SkyTrain station and along certain corridors. The architectural character mixes established post war family detached, heritage character on certain streets, and mid rise strata densification at the transit station.

Roofing demand here is dominated by second cycle replacement on the 1950s through 1970s post war cohort which represents the bulk of the housing stock. Most original cedar shake installations were replaced with asphalt in the 1990s. That replacement cycle is now 25 to 35 years old and reaching end of life across many streets. Heritage character homes from the 1925 to 1940 era follow longer replacement cycles. Mid rise residential strata replacement on the 1990s through 2000s cohort at the SkyTrain station is at first cycle now.

Second cycle replacement at peak in Connaught Heights

The 1950s through 1970s Connaught Heights cohort represents the bulk of the housing stock and the peak of the second cycle replacement wave. Most original cedar shake installations were replaced with asphalt in the 1990s. That replacement cycle is now 25 to 35 years old and reaching end of life. The Connaught Heights projects tend to be simpler in scope than premium Tri-Cities slope neighbourhoods because of smaller average lot sizes and simpler post war architectural geometry. Most homes complete in 2 to 4 days. Standard architectural asphalt at $11,000 to $18,000 is mainstream. Premium architectural at $14,000 to $22,000 is increasingly common on second cycle work.

Mid rise strata work at the 22nd Street SkyTrain station

Connaught Heights has mid rise residential strata buildings clustered at the 22nd Street SkyTrain station from the 1990s through 2010s with some newer 2020s construction. Most carry 30 to 80 units per building across 4 to 8 storeys. Original installations on the 1990s cohort were typically modified bitumen SBS. Most are at first cycle replacement now. The 2000s and 2010s cohort is on TPO single ply or hot applied SBS systems and is at early life maintenance. We provide full strata depreciation report integration including council presentation materials, AGM coordination, current condition assessment, remaining useful life estimates, and phased project delivery options.
