General parking information is available, but the legal stall designation, use rights and any allocation to a specific home must be confirmed. General storage information is available, but the locker designation and use rights must be confirmed.

Location and future change

The Embassy is grouped within Central Park / Kathleen-Mayberry, with Metrotown and Patterson stations providing the relevant transit context. Test the actual walking route at the times you expect to travel, and review nearby active or proposed development for potential changes to noise, access, outlook and construction activity.
