Who Mojave Is For

Buyers who want new construction with real outdoor living space

Mojave stands out among Osoyoos' new-construction options for the sheer scale of its outdoor space — a rooftop patio that Phase 1 marketing puts at 640+ sq ft (Phase II deck size is unconfirmed, see below), effectively doubling the usable living area beyond the interior square footage alone. That's a genuinely different proposition than a standard condo balcony, and it's central to the "resort-inspired" positioning the developer has used in marketing.

Unit plans have included three-bedroom, three-bathroom layouts with a rec room and double garage, and four-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom configurations — sized for families or buyers who want more than a typical two-bedroom condo but don't want the maintenance of a full detached home on a large lot.

Being new construction, buyers should treat this the same way as any presale or newly built purchase: review the disclosure statement, confirm the actual registered strata bylaws once established, and factor GST into the real total cost.

Presale Watch — Status as of October 10, 2026

What is still being built and sold at Mojave

🏘️ Size

Mojave is planned as 50 townhomes at 4601 97th Street, per developer marketing reported by presale listings and the news.

🏗️ Phase 2

A September 7, 2026 Castanet sponsored article says Phase 2 was launching in September 2026, with 8 homes expected to be finished by summer 2027, from $589,900 for a three-bedroom with about 1,459 sq ft of living space. An October 10, 2026 developer email to registrants says Phase II is offered in two layouts, both from $589,900 (see below).

🔎 Phase 1

Phase 1 homes are about 1,900 sq ft with 3 or 4 bedrooms and have been closing since 2024–2025. Resale listings are shown in the market data below.

Presale details change. Prices, floor plans, sizes and completion dates are developer-reported and not guaranteed. Read the disclosure statement and the contract of purchase and sale before committing, and confirm what applies to the specific unit.

Phase II — Two Layout Options

Ground-level living or upper-level living

Per the developer's October 10, 2026 email to registered buyers, Phase II is offered in two layouts. Both include a double garage and a private rooftop deck, and both are priced from $589,900. What differs is where the kitchen and living room sit. The buyer chooses the layout when reserving, and final layout availability is confirmed by home at reservation.

Option One: Ground-Level Living

Kitchen, dining and living on the entry floor beside the garage. Bedrooms, laundry and both full bathrooms are on the floor above. The developer describes a balcony off the primary bedroom and a powder room for guests on the main floor.

Developer's suggested fit: families and buyers who want the kitchen and living room on the entry floor with the bedrooms together upstairs.

Option Two: Upper-Level Living

A bedroom on the garage level, with the kitchen and living room lifted to the upper floor and opening onto a private balcony. A further bedroom or den is on that upper level, and the rooftop deck is one flight up.

Developer's suggested fit: buyers who want light and outlook from the main living space, plus a guest or office room away from it.

Timing: the developer says buyers who reserve before foundations go in this fall can customize further.

Conflict to confirm — rooftop deck size: the developer's October 10 email lists a 405 sq ft rooftop deck for Phase II. The Castanet sponsored article (September 2026) reports more than 640 sq ft per unit, and the developer's website lists 643 sq ft without naming a phase. These do not agree, so ask for the deck size on the specific Phase II plan, in writing, before relying on any figure.

The email does not state the bedroom count, interior square footage or deposit terms for each layout. Those details are not confirmed here. Pricing, incentives, features, plans and availability are subject to change, and only the developer's disclosure statement and the agreement of purchase and sale are binding.

Ask Pat which Phase II layout fits how you'd live

What Buyers Need to Know

Buying at Mojave — the important details

📄 New BC Depreciation Report Rule

Since July 1, 2024, a strata corporation with five or more lots (bare land stratas included) can no longer defer a depreciation report by a ¾ vote. Outside Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and the Capital Regional District, a strata with no report, or only one dated before December 31, 2020, has until July 1, 2027 to obtain one. See the full guide →

📄 Disclosure Statement

Review the developer's disclosure statement — projected strata fees, warranty coverage, and completion status for any remaining units.

💰 GST & New Home Programs

Confirm whether the BC Newly Built Home PTT exemption applies at the unit's price point, and how GST is calculated on the total purchase price.

🛡️ New Home Warranty

Confirm standard BC new home warranty coverage (2-5-10 year structure) applies and what's included.

🏗️ Rooftop Patio Maintenance

Large rooftop decks carry their own waterproofing and maintenance considerations — confirm what's covered under warranty versus owner responsibility long-term.

📜 Registered Bylaws

Get the final registered strata bylaws once the corporation is established, rather than relying solely on developer marketing materials.
