The opportunity to own a luxury residence in Vancouver's exclusive Shaughnessy neighbourhood could become reality for one lucky winner in the 2025 Millionaire Lottery, which raises crucial funds for the VGH + UBC Hospital Foundation.
A Prestigious Address with Charitable Impact
This year's grand prize offers nine home options, including a stunning residence at The Whitford development located at Oak Street and 37th Avenue. Winning this lottery would provide not just entry into Vancouver's competitive real estate market, but access to one of the city's most sought-after west side communities.
Jennifer Chan, director of operations for Citimark, emphasizes the development's unique position: "What sets Whitford apart is that it is literally the only large townhome community on Vancouver's west side that is actually in Shaughnessy, right next to VanDusen Botanical Garden." The project is being developed in partnership with Grosvenor.
Architectural Excellence Blending Heritage and Modern Design
The architectural vision for The Whitford draws inspiration from Shaughnessy's heritage while incorporating sleek, modern Scandinavian elements. Distinctive features include peaked roofs and varied-sized, black-framed windows that create an elegant contrast against the monochromatic, light-hued brick and Hardie plank exterior cladding.
Privacy was a key consideration throughout the design process. "Something special that the team considered together with the architect throughout the design phase was actually making sure the homes felt secluded and private despite it being in an urban setting," Chan explains. "We used landscaping and building setbacks to create a natural buffer from the street." The architecture was handled by Formwerks Architecture.
Luxurious Interior Spaces and Outdoor Living
The prize home features the A-4E floorplan with three bedrooms plus flex space, facing a private, enclosed courtyard. The residence includes three separate outdoor living areas: two patios and a rooftop deck. All homes in the development boast generous outdoor spaces regardless of size.
Interior design by Ste Marie Studio creates a seamless blend of modern and classic elements that enhance the airy, spacious atmosphere. Oversized glass doors opening to the main level patio contribute to this open feeling. Premium finishes include Italian-made cabinetry throughout, warm-hued engineered hardwood floors, quartz composite slab backsplashes and countertops, and Miele appliances.
The ensuite bathrooms feature stylish floating vanities, underfloor heating, rain showers with niche shelves, and a soaker tub. The home can be accessed through its own entrance from the underground parkade, and the adjacent lane will be landscaped to activate the space and connect with the community.
By participating in the Millionaire Lottery, entrants not only get a chance to win this exceptional property but also support vital healthcare services through the VGH + UBC Hospital Foundation.
