Why this Metro Vancouver community is moving ahead when others aren’t

In today’s market, buyers have more leverage than they’ve had in years, and the smartest move is finding a project that’s actually being built.

Across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, new home projects are being delayed and cancelled as developers navigate tighter financing requirements and shifting market conditions. For buyers, this means a rare window to purchase a presale home at a competitive price, with the confidence of knowing construction has already begun.

Zenterra Developments is one such builder who has planned ahead, and it certainly shows.

The history of Atlin + Bute at Clayton Crest

Construction has begun at Atlin + Bute at Clayton Crest (Zenterra Developments)

Zenterra Developments is a long-trusted real estate development company that prides itself on overseeing every aspect of a project, from start to finish.

Locally owned and operated, Zenterra is one of the largest multi-family home builders south of the Fraser River. In April 2026, Zenterra was named Multi-Family Home Builder of the Year at the HAVAN Awards, a recognition the company has now received for 11 consecutive years.

That sort of long-term thinking is what makes Atlin + Bute at Clayton Crest such a compelling opportunity.

Zenterra originally acquired the land over 15 years ago — well before land costs reached today’s levels. The foresight means competitive pricing for buyers, without compromising on quality or finish.

The master-planned community features a total of seven buildings. Atlin + Bute are the first two buildings within the community and sold enough homes during their launch period for construction to begin. Zenterra has officially broken ground on Atlin + Bute, and construction is now underway. In an era defined by project cancellations, that’s a pretty big deal.

Inside Atlin + Bute

Zenterra Developments

Together, Atlin + Bute contains 198 homes across studio to three-bedroom layouts, boasting nine-foot ceilings, full-sized kitchen appliances, and built-in closet organizers. Amenities include rooftop patios, a fitness centre, a games room, a party lounge, an on-site daycare, and more.

The location is another major perk. Clayton Crest sits steps from the future Hillcrest 184th St. SkyTrain station, putting rapid transit access within easy reach and supporting both livability and long-term property value. The surrounding neighbourhood is also home to the new Cloverdale Hospital and BC Cancer Centre, École Salish Secondary, and the Clayton Community Centre.
