garden, and an outdoor barbeque and dinging area. There are also specially- designed and well-appointed rooms available for booking for family events. Outdoors, there are two playgrounds that offer children a safe place “to climb, run, and have fun.” Then there are the homes in the development, which Hardeep calls “stunning” – every single condo comes complete with Bosch appliances, spa-inspired bathrooms, complimentary air conditioning, and custom millwork. The living spaces are “sleek and comfortable, featuring designer colours and attention to detail.” The kitchens have quartz countertop islands, with wood grain lower and glossy upper cabinets. The bathrooms feature floor-to- ceiling tile and walk-in showers with hand-held faucets. Other special details include custom entryways with shelving to drop off keys and built-in closet organizers. “Amson Square offers comfort and relaxation in an affordable, well-connected area,” Hardeep says. “It’s the complete package at the right place, at the right time, at the right price.” Amson Square is also a project with some personal meaning for Amson Group. Hardeep and his family used to live only two blocks away, and they used to drive by the formerly-vacant site sometimes twice a day. “It was almost like a marsh,” Hardeep recalls. “There was nothing really happening there. We always thought that was a waste. We thought there was the potential to do something really special there.” With Amson Square, his family’s goal was to “uplift the neighbourhood,” which they grew up in and loved. They wanted to introduce commercial and retail elements that were previously missing in the area, and they also wanted offer more affordable housing options than the large- scale single-family homes that were previously standard. They believe that they have succeeded, as evidenced by the commercial response. JUNE 2021
