Monashee Apartments
Award-winning purpose-built rental construction in Fairfield: 42 rental homes across five storeys at 1120 Burdett Avenue.
As general contractor for Empresa Properties, we built Monashee, a five-storey, 42-unit purpose-built rental building completed in 2024. Cascadia Architects designed it with curved infill forms and a terraced street face, and wrapped it around a south-facing courtyard in the tradition of classic U-shaped apartment buildings. Warm vertical batten siding softens the facade and helps the building sit comfortably in the established Fairfield neighbourhood. Monashee is now managed by Devon Properties.
Monashee received the Award of Excellence for Outstanding Purpose-Built Rental at the 2025 Vancouver Island Building Industry Awards, and was also recognized with the Purpose-Built Rental Award of Excellence at the 2024 Capital Region Commercial Building Awards.
