Here is a building rendering of Liberty Homes' upcoming development for the Simon Fraser University area.

 

Impressed!  This looks to be one of the more esthetically pleasing building in the UniverCity area.  As reported in my blog post (Liberty Homes announces Highland House; latest SFU UniverCity Development) one of the unique features of Highland House is the terraced aspect of the building.  You will see from this rendering some units will enjoy expansive balconies.
