Marlow.

Overview

Marlow is a 50-home wood-frame development at 2433 Shaughnessy Street, Port Coquitlam, BC V3C 3E6, in Port Coquitlam, south of Lougheed. Homes run 443 to 1,288 sq. ft. Blended pricing is around $855 per sq. ft. Estimated completion is 2026.

Plans start at 443 sq. ft., so the release spans studios through to 1,288 sq. ft. family plans, worth knowing that the per-foot average below blends two quite different products.

Location

This is downtown Port Coquitlam: Shaughnessy Street, Leigh Square, the PoCo recreation complex, and the Traboulay PoCo Trail looping the city. The West Coast Express station gets commuters to downtown Vancouver in roughly 45 minutes, though it runs on a weekday schedule rather than all day. There is no SkyTrain here, and that absence is most of the reason the neighbourhood still prices below Coquitlam Centre.

How the pricing compares

Measured against 32 other Coquitlam wood-frame projects in my database, the median blended price is $931 per sq. ft. Marlow at $855 sits about 8% below that. A discount that size is usually paying you to accept something, a longer commute, a smaller lender pool, an earlier phase, or a less established neighbourhood. It is worth naming which one before treating it as a bargain.

Direct comparables

Priced under it: One Shaughnessy at $669, The POCO at $815, Hawthorne at $840 per sq. ft. Priced over it: Two Shaughnessy at $883, Luxora at $890, Livy at $925 per sq. ft. That group is the real competitive set for this address.

Narrowed to Port Coquitlam, south of Lougheed specifically (7 comparable projects), the local median is $883, putting Marlow roughly 3% below its immediate neighbours.

What I would check before you sign

1. Whether the date holds. A near-term completion on a project still pre-launch or mid-construction is tight. Ask what the outside completion date in the disclosure statement says. That is the date that binds you, not the one in the marketing.
2. The deposit milestones, and whether your funds are committed elsewhere at those dates.
3. Assignment rights and fees, which matter more the longer the build runs.
4. GST and the first-time buyer rebate. In this price band the rebate changes the arithmetic materially. Worth running the numbers before you commit.
5. Which homes are still available, and ask directly why those ones are.
6. The projected strata budget, which is usually optimistic at launch.

Happy to give you a straight read on whether Marlow fits what you are actually trying to do, including the cases where the answer is no. Contact me for plans and current pricing.
