349 WEST GEORGIA BY BENTALL KENNEDY

349-West-Georgia-Street-Vancouver-VIP-ACCESS

The City of Vancouver has received an application to rezone 349 West Georgia Street (former Post Office site) from Downtown (DD) District to Comprehensive Development (CD-1) District to allow for redevelopment retaining the existing Post Office building and adding two residential towers and one office tower above.

The proposal for 349 West Georgia includes:
· Retention of heritage building and its conversion into a seven-storey podium containing retail along all street frontages, housing, office, and parking
· Adding three towers above podium, including 17 storeys of office, and 18 and 20 storeys of residential
· 799 residential units (372 market condominium units and 427 market rental units)
· An overall floor space ratio of 12.9 FSR
· Six levels of parking, including 1,168 bicycle spaces
· A 49-space childcare facility

 

PROJECT SUMMARY OF 349 WEST GEORGIA
The Post on Georgia is a re-envisioning of an iconic, industrial building in downtown Vancouver. The project will be largest heritage revitalization in Vancouver’s history. The building will be repurposed into a multi-use destination incorporating a vibrant mix of retail, residential, office space, service, and amenity facilities.

The proposed project will be sustainably developed, incorporating environmental strategies at both the building and the neighbourhood scale with an overall goal of achieving Carbon Neutral operations. Post on Georgia is targeting to become Vancouver’s largest carbon neutral new development. The entire development will be targeting Gold certification with the LEED for Neighborhood Development rating system. The office and retail portions will target Platinum certification with the LEED for Core and Shell rating system providing future tenants with world-class, energy-efficient, leasable space. The rental housing is considering Passive House standards. The entire site is subject to City of Vancouver’s Large Site Rezoning Policy, and will incorporate necessary
strategies to meet and exceed the requirements.

SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES | LEED ND (V4)
The LEED ND sustainable neighbourhood strategy is focused on providing exceptional site design, quality green space and outstanding building energy and water performance. The site design starts with creating vibrant, walkable streets within a compact and mixed-use neighbourhood. This objective will be addressed by paying special attention to the pedestrian experience on-site, through ground-level engagement, indoor-outdoor visual connection and universal accessibility to the site. A series of rooftop
gardens and green roofs will be planted solely with native vegetation, reducing heat island effect and offering occupant amenity space. Building energy and water performance will be optimized across the site, achieving an average of 22.5% energy “cost-savings” improvement over ASHRAE 90.1-2010 and an overall average of 40% water use reduction.

LEED CORE + SHELL
In order to further support the development’s commitment to ongoing energy and GHG savings, the commercial spaces will implement a performance-based commissioning program for the life of the buildings that is expected to improve energy efficiency by 23% (based on energy cost savings). Other elements unique to the commercial space include the use of Life Cycle Impact assessments for both materials and systems selections, low VOC materials selection, and design that favours natural daylighting.

PASSIVE HOUSE
Bentall Kennedy is focused on not only environmental stewardship but also long-term energy savings and housing affordability. As a result, the market rental portion of the project is undergoing an assessment of whether it can economically be developed using the Passive House building design program. Under the Passive House design standard the rental portion of the project will target an annual thermal load of 15 kWh/m2 achieved mostly through the application of a well-insulated, air tight, and thermally broken building envelope. By minimizing the energy loads as much as possible, the applicant can consider affordably using electricity for all heating and cooling requirements. Separate sustainability measures may need to be explored for the loft style units because they are located within the existing heritage podium which may not be able suitable for the implementation of passive house standards.

CARBON NEUTRAL
Finally, in recognition of this project’s profile and importance within the Vancouver context, the proponents are seeking to make the entire project “Carbon Neutral” in its operations. Numerous strategies will support this objective. Energy savings measures include waste heat and energy sharing combined with a rational envelope that conserves energy. To “offset” any remaining emissions from building operations, there is a proposal to develop a program to implement building energy retrofit projects within Bentall Kennedy’s own portfolio, where the annual savings will equal the emissions from operation of the Post Office buildings. Taken in combination, this will allow the development to become Vancouver’s largest carbon neutral new development and the first privately developed project.

GREEN MOBILITY
The project site is located in a dense downtown urban core, with optimum connectivity to pedestrian, bicycle and public transit options. Alternative transportation strategies will be utilized at the Post on Georgia such as:
· Close proximity to various transit corridors – SkyTrain, bus, and downtown bike routes
· Car sharing systems with preferential parking and recharge stations for electric cars
· Secured bicycle parking and “end of trip facilities” for building occupants.

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
There will be a permeable approach to hard landscape features, ensuring lower maximum discharge levels and to purified water runoff. Green planters will be utilized over the majority of the roofscape at the podium and tower roof levels. A cistern (rainwater collection tank) will be considered to capture rainfall and discharge it to the city main storm system as per LEED guidelines, and also to store water for reuse within the irrigation system of the project

GREEN ROOFS
The roof gardens at the podium and roof levels of the Post will be a lush green retreat designed for tenant use and enjoyment. They are also designed to be visual and environmental amenities to the surrounding neighbourhood. The planted zones have a positive environmental effect due to their soft, cool, absorptive nature. Plants and soil slow, absorb, and filter rainwater – reducing both the velocity and quantity of runoff that enters the piped drain system. The planted areas aid in the project’s environmental agenda through evapotranspiration and shading, and also replace more heat absorptive pavers that add to the urban heat island. Irrigation throughout the project is minimized by the use of native, adapted and drought tolerant plantings, as well as the use of drip irrigation wherever possible, water sensors, and PRS for spray heads (Built in pressure regulating stem) which saves water by maintaining optimum water pressure and cancelling misting from excessively high water pressure. Storm water may be collected in a cistern for irrigation reuse, thus minimizing the use of potable water for plant irrigation.

BUILDING ENVELOPE OF 349 WEST GEORGIA
Design of a high performance building envelope can result in a reduction in the heating and cooling loads of a building, contributing the energy savings credits as part of meeting LEED targets. A high performance envelope like the one being investigated for the Post on Georgia can work in conjunction with the mechanical systems to provide significant comfort improvements.

The main south facing component of the project that would be subject to the most solar heat gain is the office building along W Georgia St. The office will utilize triple glazing on the entire building- in addition to a strategy for solar heat gain mitigation on the south façade- to minimize the impact of solar heat gain on the inhabitants. Consideration is being given to a double skin façade system or energy-efficient dynamic (electrochromic) glass on the W Georgia St office façade. Electrochromic glass can change its tint from clear to dark on demand, giving occupants and owners an unprecedented control over the amount of light and heat that enters a building. Additionally, because they also control glare, windows that use electrochromic glass do not need blinds, shades or window treatments, thus providing unobstructed views to the occupants. In a double skin façade system the building envelope is able to dynamically respond to ambient conditions, incorporating a range of integrated insulation, shading and ventilation devices. The air space between the layers of glass acts as insulation against temperature changes, wind and sound.

HEATING AND COOLING
As part of the integrated design process the following technologies are being integrated into the project:
· High Performance Building Envelope
· Rainwater harvesting
· Water efficient Landscaping
· Low consumption plumbing fixtures
· Exhaust air heat recovery
· Heat recovery and energy sharing between interior and exterior zones
· High efficiency mechanical equipment
· Reduced internal lighting loads below ASHRAE 90.1 2010 levels.

The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems will be designed to provide comfort and indoor air quality for the building occupants. High performance energy efficient systems will be designed for the project that are fully hydronic and will be compatible with City of Vancouver’s DES connectivity guidelines if they should be enforced in future.

In addition to a high efficiency envelope, the building will further reduce energy consumption through the following HVAC measures currently under investigation. The retail is proposed to be served by a four pipe fan coil system, the office component a closed loop hydronic system to provide radiant heating and cooling, and the residential is proposed to utilize a four pipe fan coil unit for heating and cooling. A heat recovery ventilation system will capture the heat energy from the exhaust air to pre-heat the outdoor air when the outside air requires heat.

Due to the diverse uses within the project there is a great opportunity for energy sharing utilizing a heat recovery chiller and heat pumps to recover heat energy from the building from rooms such as the electrical rooms, elevator machine rooms and interior commercial spaces that are constantly generating heat. Each system will be reviewed for benefits and impacts to achieve project energy targets and required indoor air quality. Though the exact systems of the building are yet to be determined, all considerations for both the envelope, mechanical, and electrical systems will be selected so as to minimize energy use and, by extension, carbon emissions.

LIGHTING
Sustainable lighting strategies will be employed within the building so that a minimum level of energy case for the building will be 15% to 20% less than ASHRAE 90.1 including:
· LED fixtures
· LED signs

A high level of lighting controls will be applied to the building, including:
· Daylight sensors in common areas
· Occupancy sensors in low occupancy areas
· Individual control of specific lighting elements

DESTINATION DISPATCH ELEVATORS FOR 349 WEST GEORGIA
To improve efficiency and the need for additional elevators, a destination dispatch system will be applied to the office component. A destination dispatch system is an optimization technique used for multi-elevator installations, which groups passengers for the same destinations into the same elevators, thereby reducing waiting and travel times. In a traditional approach, all passengers wishing to ascend or descend enter the same lift and then request their destination. Ultimately, destination dispatch improves efficiency which reduces elevator travel and the energy required for such travel.

PLUMBING
The plumbing system will include low flow fixtures throughout to reduce water consumption. A rain water harvesting system will supply the resources to flush toilets and urinals with future consideration and requirements to accommodate a possible on-site irrigation system. Flow sensors will also be utilized on common area faucets to ensure efficient use of water.

ADAPTIVE RE-USE OF THE EXISTING STRUCTURE
The project will incorporate many passive and active sustainability measures. The adaptive re-use of the full city block building is fundamentally sustainable in itself.

One of the key sustainability features comes from the reuse of the existing Post Office building, contributing significant savings in embodied energy. The energy that is saved is primarily embodied in the existing concrete and steel, additionally avoiding the energy costs and landfill implications of demolition. Approximately 24,800 Tonnes of Carbon will be saved by not demolishing and rebuilding the podium structure. Approximately 22,800 Tonnes of Carbon is saved from the existing concrete which is equivalent to taking 17,600 cars off the road for a year. Approximately 2,050 Tonnes of Carbon is saved from the existing steel which is roughly equivalent to carbon sequestered by 192,000 tree seedlings grown for 10 years.

Approximately 1,518,142.2ft3 (42 ,9 8 9m3) of waste is saved from not demolishing the Post Office, eliminating an estimated 7,027 round trips to the landfill. Overall the energy savings are generally equal to the amount needed to power all the proposed rental units in this project for 10 years.

FLEXIBLE PLANNING
The nature of the floor plan for this project in the commercial and office uses aims for highly adaptable and reusable floor plates. The office plate will be incorporate a rationalized structural elements for a clear span, which increases the flexibility and adaptability of the floor plates, and increases the probability of building adaptability and reuse in the future.

LOW EMITTING MATERIALS
Low emitting materials will be mandated on this project, including:
· Low VOC paints, adhesives and sealants
· Low VOC carpets and composite wood
· When in operation, the building will untilize green cleaning and service products.

PINNACLE ON THE PARK FALSE CREEK BY PINACLE INTERNATIONAL

pinnacle-on-the-park-false-creek-vip-access

There’s a beautiful new presale coming to False Creek – Pinnacle On The Park! Fresh of the heels of the wildly successful Pinnacle Living False Creek and 88 West First Avenue, Pinnacle International is proud to announce the newest addition to Vancouver’s False Creek community, Pinnacle on the Park!

Pinnacle On The Park, a proposed 18 storey building includes 2-storey ground-oriented townhouses as part of a podium providing a strong urban/pedestrian edge along Ontario Street and 1st Avenue. The 5 storey 1st Avenue podium faces north towards East Park, and south to a landscaped courtyard of the Lane. The northwest corner of the building has been setback from 1st Avenue more than the required minimum, to maintain the northern view corridor from 2nd Avenue and Ontario Street. The main entry is situated off Ontario Street.

Vehicular access from the Lane to the site, for loading and parking, is restricted to the south edge of the tower form. Underground parking is accessed by a ramp to a 4.5 level parkade for resident and visitor parking, along with bike and residential storage lockers. Parkade design anticipates future access and knock-out panel at the P1 east wall for vehicular access to the adjacent site, if required. Loading and waste storage with 3 waste streams is located within the building at grade, along the lane.

Pedestrian circulation includes direct outdoor access from ground floor units, including south-facing garden units in the east podium. Exit and access is provided between east podium and the Lane.

Vancouver4Presales offers VIP Access before the Public with Early Purchase Incentives

Pinnacle On The Park – Extraordinary, excellent residences!!

vancouver4life@gmail.com      TAC Real Estate Corp.      778.991.5881

 

BACKGROUND
Southeast False Creek is one of the earliest settled areas in the Vancouver area. Historically the area supported the province’s resource industry as a commercial and industrial area. Prior to warehouses and light industrial use, the area was cleared and settled with cabins and houses.

The design for 2-26 East 1st Avenue, Pinnacle On The Park responds to the City of Vancouver Official Development Plan By-Laws for South East False Creek, July 2005. Rezoning from M-2 Industrial District to CD-1 Comprehensive Development District was passed at a Public Hearing held on July 18th, 2006. The site is situated within the East ‘Railyard’ of the SEFC area.

A guiding principle to the overall Master Plan of the SEFC area is to provide a neighbourhood that benefits from public spaces that enhance the pedestrian and urban social experiences for residents and visitors to the area. This is supported by a scale of buildings in the development that work in parallel with an enhanced urban fabric based on sustainable living concepts. Priority has been given to incorporating into the overall design of the area generously landscaped pedestrian plazas, parks and courtyards, sidewalks, drop-off areas.

DESIGN APPROACH
The underlying approach to the tower design is to develop a simple but dynamic form, with vertical emphasis at the north edge, as a point of focus as viewed from the north, and as a modest counterpoint to the spherical Science Centre to the north across False Creek. The tower form is intended to stand apart from neighbouring buildings, as agreed-upon with City staff early in the design process. Material and colour selections will be developed during the preparation for development permit application, but current thought is to employ a relatively restrained approach, allowing the building form to do the bulk of the work

BUILDING MASS
The small site is positioned in a highly visible location within the neighbourhood, opposite the narrow south end of East Park. The tower form will serve as a visual termination for views south from the park and from the seawall north of the park. The tower shape is derived in part to respond to this contextual condition.

The tower is oriented on the north-south axis and the form is compressed towards the north edge, maximizing the potential for units to have sunlight and views north towards the water, future park and north-shore mountains. The narrowed north edge provides a profile of reduced width, as viewed from the north. The tower penthouse massing is configured to reinforce the narrow, vertical expression of the building’s north edge. Unit balconies are kept to the east and west sides of the tower form, in order to maintain a relatively unobstructed north facade. The proposed building height (174.6 feet) is the maximum allowable based on the zoning bylaw in addition to the proposed Additional Penthouse Storeys.

The 1st avenue podium is comprised of 2-storey townhomes, 2 levels above, and a setback penthouse floor. The Ontario street wall defines 2 levels at grade, and a 3rd floor massing setback to delineate the transition to
the tower form, above.

The projecting north facade form has a recessed counterpart on the Lane elevation, extending to the tower roof in a continuous plane.

The tower roof is subtly animated with a stair enclosure providing access to rooftop terraces. Roof forms are restricted to the central region, in order to minimize shadow and visual impact.

LANDSCAPE RATIONALE
Ground Level and Public Realm  |  The public realm design along 1st Avenue and Ontario Street reflect the SEFC design guidelines with granite sett boulevards, planting under street trees, planted bulges and and concrete sidewalks with sawcut pattern.

GROUND FLOOR COURTYARD
In keeping with the railyard precinct, much of the landscape design is linear and plays off the width of train track. To reinforce the site’s historic reference, use of salvage rails is a key site element. The courtyard’s main program is focused on more passive uses where one can sit on a bench and relax and enjoy the garden. The small lawn area, bordered with shrub planting along the laneway provides a space for lounging, ball play within a secure zone created by the planting buffer along the laneway. Two points of access and the green landscape buffer enhances the laneway edge and creates a more inviting laneway; ultimately encouraging pedestrians to use laneways as an extension of the pedestrian public realm.

Along both 1st Avenue and Ontario Street, private townhomes with raised patios, planters with low evergreen hedge create a sense of privacy and separation between the public and private zones. At the North-West corner a large outdoor amenity patio anchors the corner. Although being raised to provide separation with the public realm, the terrace with its open edge along the street, encourages interaction between residents and other neighbor’s walking along the street, building a strong sense of community.

ROOF GARDENS
Levels 6 – Amenities  |  Level 6 is one of the common outdoor amenities on this project. With its ideal siting for sun exposure and light, this roof is programmed as a more active hub for residents to socialize and built a sense of community.

Some of the main program includes urban agriculture plots complete with dwarf fruits trees, edible plants and all the support equipment to nourish a sustainable lifestyle. Additionally a small children’s play area, incorporating rubber mounds and forms allow for unstructured and dynamic play, while eing colourful to engage children. Ideally located near the urban agriculture and outdoor dining/lounge are for easy supervision.

Finally at the North-east corner is an outdoor kitchen with harvest style table, a great place for residents to have larger gathering an take in the mountain, future park views.

ROOFTOP
At the top floor has been programmed with two generous private terrace along the front to take advantage of mountain and city vistas. The balance of the roof is intended as an extensive green roof with contrasting colour bands, which make a suggestive reference to a series of train tracks.

LANDSCAPE SUSTAINABILITY
The majority of landscape will be vegetated with native or adaptive plant species to reduce water requirements, all while providing an aesthetically pleasing landscape year round. All non-accessible roofs will be planted with a mix of pollinator plants, sedums, perennials to enhance plant diversity, habitat and promote bee population.

Pinnacle International is one of Canada’s leading builders of exclusive luxury condominium residences, hotels, and commercial developments. Pinnacle International introduces Pinnacle On The Park. Pinnacle On The Park will be an 18 storey building with 137 units. Pinnacle On The Park will also include Townhomes.

The proposed development site encompasses a complete block bound by W 1st Ave to the north, W 2nd Ave to the south, Cook Street to the west and Columbia St to the East.

The site has been rezoned to allow a 75m high linear building with a predominantly east/west orientation along the Cook street edge. This creates an open wedge on the west side of the site, which becomes a natural extension to the “Hinge Park” to the north. The rezoning proposal was consistent with the SEFC master plan.

The new form presents a curving building rather than a linear one. The arc embraces the open space to the west and generates more waterfront views to the residents.

A large opening breaks down the building’s arched façade allowing pedestrian and visual connections to the waterfront from Cook Street.

The carving extends across the south west façade, separating the amenity uses on the ground floor from the residential component above. The recess creates a sheltered outdoor amenity space at the 3rd level which benefits from sun exposure and allows natural light into the corridors.The carving terminates at the south corner of the building emphasizing the prominent intersection of 2nd Ave and Columbia.

They have allowed for a mid-block pedestrian connection through the site by opening a 2 to 5 storey “portal” through the building. This links the east-west lane across from Cook Street to Columbia street and First Avenue. Statutory Right of Ways will ensure public use of these pedestrian rotes.

The building provides a large amount of amenity space for residents with approximately 3,400 SF of indoor amenity (10 SF per unit) and more than 28,000 SF of common outdoor amenity (113 SF per unit). This number does not include private outdoor spaces such as patios or balconies.

Common outdoor amenity spaces include: Child paly areas, urban agriculture, water features, walkways and lounge/BBQ areas on the ground floor; and a dog park plus an additional play area at the 3rd floor.

Indoor amenity rooms include: Fitness room and a multipurpose room with a full kitchen at the ground level; and a reading area at the 3rdlevel. All of these have direct access to an outdoor amenity space.

Both child play areas are directly connected to an indoor amenity for adult supervision.

The development provides a variety of unit types with 44% family units and 56% one bedrooms. Total number of units proposed is 247.

CHARACTER & EXPRESSION
The site’s proximity to the water will be celebrated through the extensive water features, including ponds, bridges and waterfalls. High quality decorative paving will be used in all areas of the project and Metal sculptural elements are proposed to reference the surrounding a rea’s rich industrial heritage. In keeping with sustainable initiatives of the SEFC neighborhood, the rooftops will feature intensive green roofs at the private units, and extensive green roofs at the inaccessible areas. Storm water will be collected in a cistern at the north end of the site, and used for irrigation.

PRIVATE YARDS
At the north side of the building, the landscaping at the building edge will be private, with small patios interfacing with the pond edge and ornamental planting provided for the private units. Private yards are provided for ground level units facing adjoining streets. The yard spaces facing the public realm provide interface between the public and private realm. Each yard provides entry to the unit, with usable paved terrace and planting.

PUBLIC AMENITY AREAS
At the northern precinct of the site, the landscape will become publicly accessible, with pedestrian connections to the large water feature and paths. These connections will facilitate circulation through the site, to adjacent roads, and to
the public parks to the north. The public street sidewalk areas will conform to the SEFC Design Guidelines.

PRIVATE AMENITY AREAS
At the ground level, an outdoor patio is provided for the building’s north side amenity room, with a bridge to an intimate outdoor seating area. At the south side of the building, outdoor access is provided from the amenity room to the barbecue and urban agriculture areas. The outdoor level 3 amenity area provides for a variety of uses in an experientially rich and aesthetically pleasing common space that also has strong visual interest when viewed from below. The covered outdoor space will incorporate three main programmes, a dog run, children’s play area, and an outdoor exercise area. Each area will be separated with low fencing and or planting, but are intended to encourage communal activities.

PLANT SELECTION
Plants have been selected to provide a variety of interest throughout the year and to serve a wide variety of functions such as screening and division between private residences. All plants have been chosen for their exemplary characteristics such as form, texture, flowers or fall colour. In general plants have been selected that are native or “low resource” adaptable plants i.e. requiring minimal irrigation or fertilizers once established.

KEY SUSTAINABILITY ELEMENTS
· The project will achieve the SEFC Green building Strategy and meet LEED Silver Canada Certified standard or equivalency.
· The project is targeting 6 energy points (33% better than the Model National Energy Code (MNECB)), which will be confirmed through a whole building energy model.

· The building envelope is designed with a passive approach to sunlight with a higher wall to window ratio on the south west elevations.
· Green roofs are provided on principal building roofs.

THE LEGACY OF STERLING AND MCKINNON
In 1905, this lush South Vancouver land was quickly developing as a desirable residential neighbourhood, and soon warranted a station on the interurban line. R.H Sterling, manager of the B.C. Electric Railway, asked resident Mrs. William McKinnon to name the stop. She chose “Kerry’s Dale” after her family home, Kerrydale in Scotland. Over the years through repeated use, “Kerry’s Dale” fortuitously combined to form what is now known as Kerrisdale.

Recognizing the neighbourhood’s significance – yesterday’s and today’s – Cressey adds McKinnon to its collection of Kerrisdale homes. Building on the richness of history and community, Cressey continues to honour the ideals amongst the one-of-a-kind boutiques, cafes, and restaurants found in Kerrisdale.

Cressey was drawn to Kerrisdale due to its rich history and community, and believes those characteristics will appeal to prospective buyers as well. The area has been a residential hub since the early 1900s, when BC Electric Railway built a station there, and today families and diverse businesses continue to thrive.

CARDERO BY BOSA PROPERTIES

Cardero stands out as one of our family’s proudest achievements in more than 50 years of creating homes in Metro Vancouver.

It symbolizes so much of what makes Vancouver spectacular, from it’s Coal Harbour location to the water and mountain views to the arresting architecture and innovative features.

Cardero is mere steps from the seawall that runs as a connective thread through our city, and is only a short walk to Stanley Park – so loved by Vancouverites and visitors alike. As a gateway to the downtown core’s most notable shopping, dining, and entertainment district, it defines cosmopolitan elegance – yet it’s nestled within a quiet residential neighbourhood.

We’re honoured that its design-forward form is the work of renowned local architect Gregory Henriques, and we’re excited about being part of this neighbourhood that is emerging as Vancouver’s architectural district. We’re also particularly proud of the homes themselves. Their innovative design and bespoke finishings put Cardero in the company of the world’s most refined residences.

Not only is Cardero a distinguished residential address, it is set to become an iconic landmark for downtown Vancouver. We look forward to welcoming the discerning buyers who will choose to call Cardero home. – Colin Bosa, CEO,  Bosa Properties

Bosa Properties is proud to announce an early introduction to Cardero. A boutique collection of 119 pure luxury residences connecting the Coal Harbour seawall, Stanley Park and downtown Vancouver.

This project offers an exclusive opportunity, bespoke imported finishes, and is destined to raise the bar for architecture and innovative design in Canada.

The dual form of the development at 1575 West Georgia responds to the unique shape of its site at the intersection of two city grids, and to the distinct character of the surrounding area. Adjacent to Vancouver’s waterfront Coal Harbour, the project is at the pivotal juncture where the West End neighbourhood flows into downtown. It is carefully sculpted to frame this urban transition and establish a gateway into the downtown core.

“A cornerstone connecting Coal Harbour’s seawall, Stanley Park, and the downtown core, Cardero is destined to raise the bar for architecture and innovative deign in Canada.”

This beautiful building, a slender 26-storey residential tower anchors the corner of Georgia and Cardero streets. Its distinctive screens provide shading and privacy for residents while reducing solar heat gain. A second 21-storey tower responds to the character of the residential towers along Pender Street. These dual aspects sit atop a four-storey podium offering retail at grade and 45,000 square feet of office space. The project is targeting LEED Gold certification and provides the opportunity to connect to a future neighbourhood district energy network.

The Bosa Properties project was designed by Henriquez Partners Architects and features triangular canopies over the residential unit balconies to provide the building, located at a highly prominent intersection, with an architecturally unique and scaly look.

Retail use is slated to occupy the ground floor while the first three floors above will be purposed for 45,346 square feet of office space. The remaining above ground floors are all residential, comprising of 184 market residential units, in addition to seven levels of underground parking for a total of 201 stalls.

Like you, Townline has a story. They started in 1981 with Rick Ilich building single-family homes.

Their portfolio is diverse. Over the past 30 years, their team has grown from one man to a team of real estate professionals supporting an organization that handles all aspects of Development, Construction, Finance, Marketing, Sales, Customer Service and City and Public Liaison. They stay hands-on for the entire life of a project and, with tighter controls and greater efficiency, they believe their process creates the kind of residential and commercial places people want as their own.

BELLEVUE BY CRESSEY

BELLEVUE_BY_CRESSEY

Located in West Vancouver’s Dundrave neighbourhood, Bellevue by Cressey is poised to be one of the most exclusive residential opportunities in Greater Vancouver. With only two to three homes per level, each of the 35 luxurious private residences offers endless ocean views, expansive outdoor terraces and direct access to West Vancouver’s seawall: this exclusive tower is set to be a Dundarave icon.

The building takes inspiration from the modernist buildings found in the area, with their strong rectilinear geometry and large balconies as defining features; but is also influenced by its west coast environment with the use of strong overhang at roof level, wood soffits and doors and a blurring of boundaries between inside and out through the use of large windows and wide (up to 15’) opening glass walls; and the introduction of a water feature that runs through the building cascading through a series of waterfalls and channels. Sustainability has also been considered with the large balconies and louvres shading the south, and a narrowing of many of the windows.

An artfully designed mansions in the sky, each offering its own soul stirring ocean views.

 

The project takes the simple form of four intersecting rectangles, rising above a base of three townhomes engaging with the natural slope of the site. The lowest two rectangles run east – west along Marine way, forming a 2-9 storey streetwall along this busy road. The remaining two rectangles run north-south slimming the tower and reducing its visual impact to viewers up the slope in the residential neighbourhoods north of the site. The groves of trees at the East and West are being retained and the tower has been positioned to be parallel with Marine Drive, slightly west of center providing opportunity to give the entire eastern half of the site to landscaping and a porte cochere for convenient passenger drop off and loading. The parking is all underground, taking advantage of the natural slope of the site to provide private garages and family rooms in areas that emerge from the ground.

Durable high quality materials will be used throughout the project with predominantly stone and glass cladding, A dark stone will be used for landscape elements and a light stone for tower and townhome cladding. Large opening glass walls are featured in the living/dining rooms and Master bedrooms with terraces on units at mass change points and roof.

CONTEXT AND SITE DESIGN
· By positioning the building on the western side of the site next to the large existing grove of trees and skewing it on axis with Marine drive, we reduce its visual impact on neighbours to the north, in fact views on streets further north of the site will for the most part see only existing trees.

THE CRESSEY PHILOSOPHY IS CENTRAL TO EVERYTHING THEY DO
After 40 years in the business, Cressey has evolved into a company that does more than construct buildings. We create homes – the kind of desirable places that people are proud to call their own.

Every Cressey project adheres to a set of specific and far-reaching standards. Homes must be well-located and near things that enrich your living experience – everything from good schools to convenient transit options. Interiors must be beautiful, flexible and able to withstand the rigors of day-to-day living.

The Cressey Kitchen is a prime example of this forward thinking design ethic, where our team continuously is rethinking the most important room in the house to bring even more utility and ease into people’s lives. Add that to the other Cressey features – easy-to-furnish floorplans, elegant lobbies, useful extras – and it’s easy to see why people look for us by name.

No two Cressey buildings will ever be the same, but the philosophy that guides them always is. It’s a mantra that first reminds us to choose a worthy site and to play to that neighbourhood’s natural strengths. Then it keeps us flexible and imaginative as our entire team searches for meaningful ways to improve the way you’ll live there – room by room, detail by detail, year after year.

1500 WEST GEORGIA BY BOSA PROPERTIES

1500-West-Georgia-Bosa-Properties-VIP-Sales

Thrilled to see such an amazing proposal for our city!! A project that our beautiful Vancouver really needs – 1500 West Georgia, an architectural sculpture, a waterfront skyline by Büro Ole Scheeren and Bosa Properties. So special and so different from most of the buildings in our city – crystal boxes with plain and poor aesthetics and not much innovation. Super excited to have such an extraordinary building coming to our beautiful Vancouver!

Expanding to North America, Büro Ole Scheeren presents 1500 West Georgia, a future vision for vertical living in one of the world’s most livable cities with a tower that reaches out horizontally to engage the space of the city and activate Vancouver’s waterfront skyline.

1500 West Georgia – Extraordinary, stunning, magnificent residences!!

vancouver4life@gmail.com      TAC Real Estate Corp.      778.991.5881

 

Vancouver, consistently ranked as one of the most livable cities, has much to offer: beyond a vibrant social environment, the “City of Glass” is known for its buildings of transparency and for its breathtaking surroundings of clear water and snow-covered mountains. But, like many cities today, its skyline is dominated by verticality – extrusions of generic towers that don’t engage their environment and create isolation rather than connection. Ole Scheeren’s design opens up the inert shaft of the tower to embrace both city and nature in a three-dimensional sculpture which projects the space of living outwards into the surrounding context.

Located on 1500 West Georgia Street, one of Vancouver’s main avenues, the tower to be developed by Bosa Properties stands as a new beacon at the entrance to Vancouver from the North Shore and Stanley Park and forms an urban pivot at the junction where the city’s grid splices and begins to expand.

A system of vertically shifted apartment modules enables dynamic yet rational and efficient layouts for residential units while the horizontal rotation of these modular elements projects living spaces outwards to introduce the concept of horizontal living in a slender high-rise. The resulting multiple terraces generated from these horizontal shifts create both physical and emotional connectivity between the indoor and outdoor environment.

“Vancouver possesses a unique balance of urban conditions surrounded by spectacular nature that provides fertile ground for envisioning new possibilities for future living in a cosmopolitan and environmentally-friendly city” says Ole Scheeren. “The design for this building exemplifies our ambition to reconnect architecture with the natural and civic environment and go beyond the hermetic confines of towers that increasingly inscribe our lives.”

The vertical offset of the apartment modules minimizes the footprint of the tower and liberates the ground to provide an open public plaza for residents and citizens alike. An amplified reinterpretation of the existing water cascade along West Georgia builds on the strong architectural heritage of the site, while multiple crossing paths ensure urban permeability.

Civic amenities are embedded around the central plaza and the extensive waterscape to engage the community and contribute to the network of downtown green and public space.

Büro Ole Scheeren, in collaboration with Francl Architecture, submitted the Letter of Inquiry today to the City of Vancouver outlining Bosa Properties’ plan to redevelop this important site at 1500 West Georgia Street.

“At Bosa Properties, we are always striving to innovate, and we’re excited to have found in Ole Scheeren an architect who shares this passion. With this project we’re hoping to introduce an entirely new form of vertical high-rise living, and a tower that forever changes the conventions of the aesthetics and performance of residential high-rise towers” says Colin Bosa, CEO of Bosa Properties.

“We’re excited to participate, along with our partners at Bosa, in a tower that seeks to redefine high-rise architecture and urban living. And to redefine it in a meaningful, provocative, and thoughtful way right here in Vancouver”, adds Lorne Segal, President of Kingswood Properties.

“This is a special place in the City for Vancouverites who have fond memories of Rhone and Iredale Architects’ much admired existing office building and water cascade. Both are being retained and enhanced by a design that respects the original character, while at the same time re-interpreting the space in a contemporary way, offering much improved public access and openness” says Stefan Aepli of Francl Architecture.

Sustainability strategies for passive and active energy savings are integrated with the architecture to target significant reductions in energy consumption and aspire to achieve LEED Platinum. Renewable energy sources at the top of the building’s sculpted crown generate 100% of the energy for the public amenities at the ground, creating a new model that visualizes sustainability and gives carbon-free space back to the public.

Commissioned in early 2015, 1500 West Georgia further expands Büro Ole Scheeren’s growing international portfolio. The practice is working on a range of city-defining structures and cultural projects, ranging from more intimate spaces to large-scale urban developments in several of Asia’s capitals, with Mahanakhon, to be completed in 2016 as Bangkok’s tallest tower; DUO, a mixed-use development in Singapore set for completion in 2017, and the Guardian Art Center near the Forbidden City in Beijing just having completed its steel structure and opening to the public next year.

Phase 1 of The Creek was Voda at The Creek and it was a total hit! All the units were sold out within a couple of weeks. We were lucky enough to secure few truly amazing units for some of our wonderful Clients.

Here are some details from Voda at The Creek Phase 1.

VODA AT THE CREEK CONCERT PROPERTIESVoda is a 16-storey residential tower where The Creek – a park side and waterfront community being built to LEED Gold standards – makes its debut. From its landscaped courtyard, to its generous balconies and terraces, to the stylish homes beyond, this is the Vancouver you’re proud to call home. Homes look out to views of the water, city and mountains. Contemporary architecture incorporates welcoming light boxes and industrial design elements in a subtle nod to the neighbourhood’s past. Residents join car share networks, there’s plenty of parking for bikes and electric vehicles and gardeners grow vegetables in rooftop plots.

Social in the sun – Work out in the fitness room, then chill out in a lounge. Soak up the sun, fire up the barbecue or cook up a storm in the party room’s kitchen. Gather friends to watch the game or screen movies on a rainy Saturday. Pop up to the rooftop garden plot to snip fresh herbs for dinner.

Our city of glass – Generous use of glass reflects the beauty of the surrounding water and sky. Glowing light boxes and a glass staircase make a rich contrast to the courtyard pond and heavy timber plaza. The mews is illuminated with a canopy of romantic lights and leads to a gracious, double-height lobby.

Park side on the seawall, with water, city, and mountain views. Walkable and cycle friendly. Everything that is quintessential Vancouver streams from The Creek, a waterfront neighbourhood in South East False Creek.

NELSON ON THE PARK BY WALL FINANCIAL

Nelson-on-the-Park-Wall-Financial-VIP-Sales

Designed by three architectural firms, Chris Doray, Nick Milkovich and IBI, Nelson On The Park meets almost all the plan criteria – it includes 25% of the space as non-market housing and the tower has a reasonably slender profile.

One issue with Nelson On The Park is that it seems to be proposed at 550 feet high plus a complicated solar panel array rooftop that looks to add another 50 feet. The reading of the plan for Nelson On The Park suggests that the tower can be as tall as 550′, but the added crown is quite a bit more than towers usually have, so either that feature will be reduced or the tower will shorten a bit.

1550 ALBERNI BY WESTBANK

1550-Alberni-Westbank-VIP-Sales

The design of 1550 Alberni is shaped by its environment. The 42-storey tower is carved by two emphatic scoops that form deep balconies furnished in wood. In both instances, the carvings create semi-enclosures that strengthen their relations to the street and to the views – to its urban and geographic context.

Because of the way the otherwise orthogonal tower is carved, its silhouette constantly changes, creating illusionary profiles of arching cantilevers. The reality is far more structured as the carved deductions are diagonally symmetrical, the lower portion helping to counterbalance the hanging volume above.

The tower meets the ground with two intersecting domes that embrace Alberni and Cardero Street. Under the arching structures, an extensive moss garden defines the entrance and flows to the swimming pool above. In keeping with Japanese spatial traditions, the emphasis is on the atmosphere rather than the object: without drawing attention to a particular point laden with meaning, the void elicits a serene visceral experience that could be shared by all.

1550 Alberni has been designed by a renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, which was purchased by Westbank at a cost of $47 million.

1550 Alberni – Extraordinary, magnificent residences!!

vancouver4life@gmail.com      TAC Real Estate Corp.      778.991.5881

 

A total of 188 residential units are proposed, with many units within the carved deductions possessing substantially sized patios or what project proponents have termed as ‘open gardens’. Interior materials will include the heavy use of wood and bamboo.

Retail space and a restaurant will be located at the tower’s foot, along with a highly unique public amenity – a ground-level Japanese moss garden within a hollowed section of the building, with water and natural features built along the face of an amphitheatre-like, cascading plateau.

The developer is behind a number of other major local projects including Shangri-La Vancouver, Shaw Tower, Fairmont Pacific Rim, Woodward’s, Telus Garden and the Oakridge Centre redevelopment.

At least three other architecturally unique towers are planned for the area near the intersection of West Georgia and Nicola streets.

Bosa Properties’ plans to construct two towers in the immediate vicinity: a 51-storey, 500-foot-tall Jenga-like residential tower at 1500 West Georgia Street and a scaly 26-storey tower at 1575 West Georgia Street.

According to Westbank, a 50-storey tower designed by local architect James Cheng is also planned for a flatiron-like development site at 1445 West Georgia Street. The design for this tower has not been revealed at this time.

A formal rezoning applicaiton has now been filed with the City, providing some more details on the project. The 20,698 SF site, currently zoned DD and improved with a lowrise office building, is being redeveloped with a 43-storey condo building with commercial uses at street level, including:

· a building height of 436 ft.;
· a total of 188 residential units;
· a density of 14.0 FSR;
· 272,262 SF;
· 271 underground parking spaces on six levels
