Chorus
UNITI developed Chorus, the first purpose-built rental apartment in Surrey in over 30 years, in 2016.
Overview
The Chorus Apartment
Chorus is a 71-unit inclusive apartment complex that serves South Surrey families, seniors, people with developmental disabilities, essential workers, and students.
The inclusive nature of Chorus means that the tenant mix reflects the community, including those who are being priced out of their neighbourhood or who have historically not been included, such as people with developmental disabilities. Chorus has proven a great success in the seven years it has existed, and the community is healthier and stronger because of its presence.
