What our property management clients in New Westminster are saying

"The Palisades, a twin tower 272 unit condominium, has been managed by FirstService Residential since it was opened in 1996. Their property management team has been an invaluable asset to council by providing sound professional management advice over the years. As a result, we enjoy residing in extremely well-maintained buildings, pay reasonable strata fees and have a very healthy contingency reserve fund. As a member of our strata council since its inception, I do not hesitate in providing FirstService Residential with the highest possible recommendations."
