About the Building
Monaco stands out in a market where much of the condo inventory dates back a decade or more. As a 2023-built concrete highrise, it offers modern construction standards and contemporary finishes that older buildings simply can't match. Key facts at a glance:
- Address: 1350 & 1342 Johnston Road, White Rock
- Developer: Solterra Development Corp
- Year built: 2023
- Type: Highrise, 12 storeys
- Total homes: 97 condominiums and penthouses
- Suite sizes: approximately 755 to 2,110 sq. ft.
- Street-level retail: 10,000 sq. ft. of commercial space
Interior Design and Finishes
The Monaco name is reflected in the suite interiors, which lean into a European aesthetic. Homes feature custom Italian cabinetry, integrated premium appliances, and engineered hardwood flooring throughout. The integrated appliance packages give kitchens a clean, seamless look, which is a significant upgrade over the standard stainless-steel packages found in many older White Rock buildings.
With suites ranging from 755 square feet up to 2,110 square feet, the building covers a wide spectrum of buyers, from first-time purchasers and downsizers looking for a manageable footprint to those seeking a spacious penthouse-style home with room to entertain.
Views of Semiahmoo Bay
One of Monaco's biggest draws is its elevation. At 12 storeys, the upper floors enjoy expansive views of Semiahmoo Bay and the coastline, which is a premium feature in a city where ocean views drive value. Generally, higher floors and west-facing exposures command the strongest interest, so it's worth walking through a few different floor plans before deciding.
Location: Johnston Road Convenience
Monaco sits on Johnston Road, the commercial spine of White Rock, so everyday errands rarely require a car. The building is close to Semiahmoo Shopping Centre for groceries and services, and Peace Portal Golf Club is nearby for golfers. The 10,000 square feet of street-level retail within the building itself adds to the walkable, urban feel.
Beyond the immediate block, you're a short trip from the White Rock waterfront, the pier, and the promenade. To explore the broader neighbourhood, see our White Rock area guide, or use the interactive map to see how Monaco sits relative to the beach, transit, and amenities.
How Monaco Fits the White Rock Market
White Rock currently has 327 active listings with an average price of roughly $1.56 million, though that figure is pulled upward by detached homes. Condos in the area generally price well below that, which is why newer apartment-style buildings like Monaco appeal to buyers who want a modern, low-maintenance home near the water without a single-family price tag.
For context, nearby Crescent Beach / Ocean Park averages around $2.44 million across 124 active listings, and Grandview averages about $1.64 million. A new-build highrise in White Rock's walkable core offers a different value proposition: newer construction, central location, and ocean-adjacent living at a more accessible entry point.
Who Is Monaco a Good Fit For?
- Downsizers: Lock-and-leave convenience with high-end finishes and a walkable neighbourhood.
- First-time buyers: Smaller 755 sq. ft. suites offer a way into a new building.
- Move-up buyers: Larger suites and penthouses provide near-house living space.
- Investors and second-home buyers: A 2023 build near the waterfront with retail on the ground floor offers strong lifestyle appeal.
Tips for Buying at Monaco
- Review the strata documents: Check the depreciation report, meeting minutes, and any contingency reserve fund details for the building.
- Compare floor plans: With sizes ranging from 755 to 2,110 sq. ft., layouts vary significantly. Prioritize light, view orientation, and storage.
- Confirm parking and storage: Verify what's included with each unit before making an offer.
- Look at comparable sales: Recent resale activity in Monaco and similar newer White Rock buildings will help you price your offer accurately.
