At the prestigious corner of Marine Drive and 22nd Street in West Vancouver, Westerleigh PARC represents the pinnacle of sustainable luxury living for seniors. Developed by Parc Retirement Living under the visionary leadership of Rainer Müller, originally from West Germany with a home in Männedorf near Zurich, this remarkable retirement community has established itself among at least six exceptional residences that redefine senior living.

Life at Westerleigh PARC feels like a natural continuation of the lifestyle residents have always enjoyed at home—possibly even better. The community sits within a well-cultured hub alongside recreational and social pursuits, boutiques, and coffee shops, with convenient access to the West Vancouver Seawall, Dundarave, and Ambleside Village.

Environmental responsibility takes center stage at this LEED Gold certified residence, proudly designed and built with sustainability in mind. Müller's latest environmental initiative has residents buzzing with excitement through a partnership with "Bringing Back the Bees," an organization dedicated to reintegrating honeybees into urban environments. The community now hosts its own beehives, and by the end of August, residents will harvest six jars of honey produced by their adopted bees.

Sponsor a Hive Program Includes:
1. Early Spring Pollination ( early April to end of Aug. )
*1 to 2 hives ( depending on lot size )
*biweekly maintenance visits
*learn about honeybees
*6 jars honey ( 375 ml. ) from your neighborhood

Dining excellence defines the Westerleigh PARC experience under Executive Chef Allen Hsu, who brings over 19 years of culinary expertise from high-end hotels and restaurants. His passion for food and hospitality shines through daily breakfast buffets and full lunch and dinner service with elegant table service in the refined dining room. You might even find fresh honey on the menu at some point!

The residence maintains an active lifestyle through premium indoor amenities including a fitness center, fireside lounge, lively games room, and library. The exceptionally-maintained landscaped grounds feature a specially-designed greenhouse with raised garden beds, making it easier for residents to tend colorful flowers, herbs, and plants alongside their beekeeping project.

Westerleigh PARC exemplifies how modern retirement living can seamlessly blend luxury, environmental stewardship, and community engagement, creating a seaside oasis where residents don't simply retire—they thrive.
