ERA: Designing a signature residential development in Maple Ridge

In the downtown core of the Maple Ridge community, ERA is a seven-phase master-planned residential development featuring a village of condos, rental apartments, and retail spaces. It’s a legacy project for its owners (two business partners who have lived in the community for decades) and is the first of its kind in the area. Phase one features 143 Market and 49 Rental suites of various sizes with a strong connection to nature, and a relaxed, community-focused lifestyle.

Phase one comprises five wood-framed buildings offering a variety of unit mix with the tallest being six storeys, two townhome buildings of three storeys, and a mixed-use five-story building along one of the major roads in the City – Dewdney Trunk Road.

Completed in 2022, Phase one of the ERA project sets a precedent for zoning in Maple Ridge and is quickly drawing attention as a signature development in the area. All units in this phase sold out and demand continues to be strong.

The public plaza acts as a link into the future phases and will provide the opportunity to give a public space back to Maple Ridge. Surrounded by shops and amenities, people can gather at ERA with pride in their community, as this legacy project influences Maple Ridge for decades to come.

“This development will greatly enhance the center of Maple Ridge, creating a beautiful new focal point in the community. The first phase of ERA Maple Ridge is the first major step in actualizing the vision of the ownership group. The team at Kasian has helped make the vision a reality and they’re dedication and creativeness is greatly appreciated.” – Nadja Gehriger, Vice President at Swissreal
