The OAK+52 Townhomes Team
Coromandel Properties
We are a Vancouver-based development company focused on creating liveable residential communities that add to the breadth and depth of this already great city.
For Coromandel, family, community and the environment are at the core of every successful home. We are a proud Chinese company, and it’s our heritage that inspires us to create spaces that bring together families of all kinds.
We wanted to make a memorable statement that reflects our Chinese heritage. So, we chose to make the front doors of the OAK+52 townhomes a bold yellow. Yellow is an imperial colour that represents power, royalty and prosperity. It also represents the earth in traditional Chinese symbolism.
This notion of the earth connects well to the retention of the American Elm on the site and our philosophy of it honouring our heritage and celebrating family – all in a great Westside location.
Jerry Zhong
CEO of Coromandel Properties
Our approach to the townhomes at OAK+52 Townhomes is best defined by our philosophy of restraint. The homes are genuine. They speak of quality and consideration in the details, the material choices, the window placements and the unifying palette.
While recognizing the individual homes, we worked to ensure the family-oriented function of the townhome community balanced by a modern and playful aesthetic expression.

Ross & Company interiors
Charyle Ross and the team have a love and passion for beautiful interiors and have been creating inspired designs for over 15 years. As specialists in residential and multi-family residential design Ross & Company Interiors work with residential clients and developers to create amazing interiors and spaces.
I think these homes are both beautiful and well-ordered. They have an air of refinement, but they are also perfect for a young, modern family. I love the chevron patterned hardwood floors. They give a West Coast sophistication to the townhomes at OAK+52 Townhomes that is warm and inviting – as well as practical. The bench seating at the entry, useful storage like a specific place for vacuum including a charging station, cubbies, a place for mops and brooms – all make the homes function extremely well and help maintain a sense of calm and comfort.
Charyle Ross
Founder/Principal of Ross & Company Interiors
There is a large American Elm on the site that was the inspiration for using the Chinese proverb: ‘One generation plants the tree, another gets the shade.’ This philosophy drove our approach to the landscape design. We wanted to create spaces that were playful and quiet, sunny and shaded, communal and private,
The site incorporates the five retained trees and adds 33 more. The overall palette blends flowering shrubs and evergreens with white, yellow, and purple foliage accentuating the modern design of the site.
