Elevate Your Lifestyle

Imagine waking up to stunning mountain views, fresh alpine air, and the welcoming feel of a close-knit community. Just 25 minutes north of Whistler, Pemberton offers a unique lifestyle that combines nature, recreation, and small-town warmth—making it the perfect place to settle down, invest, or find your weekend escape. With a broad appeal that has drawn families, retirees, and outdoor enthusiasts alike, Pemberton is now one of BC’s most sought-after destinations for a lifestyle rooted in nature and community. With a new master-planned community, Elevate at Sunstone is at the heart of Pemberton’s residential offerings, thoughtfully designed to preserve the area’s natural beauty while offering modern, spacious, low-density housing.

Why People Are Choosing Pemberton

For those considering Pemberton as their next home or recreational retreat, the reasons are clear. Life here balances outdoor adventure and a peaceful community without sacrificing convenience or comfort. While Pemberton offers many of the outdoor draws of Whistler, it does so at a gentler pace—and without the premium price tag.

Residents appreciate that Pemberton “has a soul and immediately was the correct choice,” as one homeowner shared, describing how the town feels “so much further than 25 minutes from Whistler in vibe and culture.” This intentional lifestyle, evident in the community’s close connection to nature and farm-to-table practices, has made it a natural fit for those seeking a lifestyle that values preservation alongside progress. Another homeowner described it as “a slower paced, family-friendly environment, welcoming, friendly, and calm, with a heavy option for adventure,” capturing Pemberton’s unique balance of relaxation and excitement.

Small-Town Spirit and Vibrant Community

Pemberton has a long-established community where people know their neighbours, and residents care deeply about local culture and nature. Moving to Pemberton is like stepping into a different world, where local farms offer fresh produce year-round, neighbours gather at markets and events, and families feel at home. One resident shared “We are living an extremely active lifestyle here in Pemberton, and even though we have only been here two years, we very much feel a part of the community.” Local businesses and attractions, like North Arm Farm, provide fresh produce and community events, while places like The Beer Farmers brewery bring residents together for fresh craft brews and live music.

One Elevate homeowner shared that the local eateries in Pemberton “genuinely surpass what [they’ve] found anywhere across Toronto, Canada, and even in Paris.” From Blackbird Bakery to Pemberton Bread Co., the quality of food and community vibe is unmatched.

Another key amenity in Pemberton and in the Sunstone community is the Sunstone Golf Club. Owners of Elevate duplexes or single-family lots at Sunstone receive two Adult Golf Memberships for 2 years as part of their homeownership, adding tremendous value to the lifestyle offerings within the community. The golf club provides a scenic and social focal point for residents, and the purchase of the club by Sunstone developers further demonstrates their commitment to enhancing amenities for residents and visitors alike.

The Sunstone developers have also been active participants in the supportive and lively community in Pemberton by contributing to various local infrastructure projects like the new recreation site, the Friendship Trail and Sunstone to Lake Trail and their sponsorship of other recreational events including the Pemberton Barn Dance in 2023 and 2024.

Year-Round Outdoor Adventures

Pemberton is an outdoor lover’s paradise in the heart of BC’s natural beauty. Winter brings world-class skiing, snowboarding, and snowmobiling, all within minutes of your doorstep. As the snow melts, the landscape transforms into a haven for hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and paddling, with endless trails and lakeside activities.The fully funded Sunstone to Lake trail, a multi-use trail, marked with wayfinding signs, a gravel surface and some challenging gradients, running from Sunstone to Mosquito Lake was fully funded by the Sunstone developers, and is actively maintained by the Pemberton Valley Trails Association. The new 7km multi-use Friendship Trail also within the Sunstone community, connects the neighbourhood to Pemberton Village, and the Sunstone to Lake trail providing easy access to alpine lakes, giving outdoor enthusiasts the freedom to explore some of BC’s most scenic spots right from home.

One resident noted, “Our family loves to be outside! We frequent the pump track, soccer field, the local breweries, and many walking trails. Living in Elevate keeps us close to many of these attractions as some are within walking distance.” Another shared that “the mountain biking is incredible, and access at Elevate is ideal,” showcasing how the community’s layout and proximity to trails perfectly support an active, outdoor-focused lifestyle.

Sunstone: A Master-Planned Community that Fits the Landscape

Spanning multiple phases, Sunstone promises both current and future residents a variety of housing options that respect the landscape, with no high-rises and ample green space surrounding each home. Located on a south-facing slope that remains out of the flood plain, Sunstone is designed to maximize views while protecting the environment and the privacy of its residents.

For buyers looking for a quality-built home with an active mountain lifestyle, Elevate at Sunstone provides unparalleled value. One new resident shared “We weren’t sure how much we would like living in a duplex, coming from a single-family home in Whistler, but the design, quality, and floorplan work so well with our lifestyle.” With only six remaining units, these move-in-ready duplexes offer the space and features, and design of a single-family home. Thoughtfully built by TM Builders, Elevate showcases the finest in contemporary mountain living. Homeowners appreciated that the developer went “above and beyond” with high-end finishes and features like automated window coverings, provided at no extra cost. “Having owned a few new builds and a custom home over our lives, we were shocked by the level of included design and finish. The street looks fantastic and will stay that way.”

“The view is spectacular,” said another resident, “but we were equally drawn to the modern, custom-home-level design.” The homes’ expansive windows and integration with the community perfectly combine elegance with functionality. Another homeowner shared that “the windows and open views were one of the main attractants for us when searching for a home. Beyond that, the size was right for our growing family, and having a garage is obviously a huge bonus!” Families are excited about the area’s family-friendly environment and the opportunity to “raise our kids on this street.”

High-Quality Design and Mountain Views

Elevate has been designed to take full advantage of its stunning surroundings. Each home features large windows that frame mountain views, with open-concept living spaces inviting natural light and spectacular views with expansive decks. With over 2,200 square feet of space and 480+ square feet of outdoor living space, these duplexes feel more like single-family homes, offering the best value in Pemberton and making them an attractive alternative to Whistler’s far higher price points. An inspiring blend of modern design and style, this collection of contemporary duplexes is set to elevate your living.

Each duplex is built to accommodate active lifestyles, with ample storage for outdoor gear and large double-car garages designed for mountain bikes, skis, and more. “The garage is an excellent size”, one resident noted, saying “We are able to fit all our bikes, skis, snowmobile, canoe, and vehicle inside.” With optional upgrades like hot tubs, and roughed-in EV chargers, these homes prioritize comfort and sustainability.

“Whistler has become so highly-priced that homes of this size were well out of our price range,” said one Elevate homeowner. “Elevate offers a type of brightness and openness thanks to its location and big windows. The fact that it was a new-build was obviously an attraction as well, as many of the existing townhomes in both Whistler and Pemberton are in need of new windows and roofs.”

Another resident shared, “The amount of young families was such a nice surprise. We spend a lot of time on the street riding bikes and playing, and there are many awesome families out there doing it with us. It’s an amazing environment.”
