Join us for a follow-up tour of Westbank's Vancouver House project in downtown Vancouver on Tuesday, March 26th!
Among the tallest buildings in the city, Vancouver House is one of the world's most anticipated real estate projects. The physical manifestation of a total work of art, the project includes a unique high rise typology and low rise structures designed to complement the infill zones of the Granville Street Bridge. The design of any building should be a function of the particular constraints and characteristics of each site. In the case of Vancouver House, the solution that Bjarke Ingels Group arrived at is a direct response to these conditions.
600,000 square foot in size, a slender base forms the nine-storey podium, ultimately widening into the 515-foot residential tower as it rises to meet the sky. The result is an entirely new building typology that will certainly create a more interesting skyline and set the standard as one of the most advanced developments in the city.
Please note: Full personal protective equipment (PPE) including CSA-approved safety boots, hard hat and high visibility vest are required in order to attend the tour. Anyone not in possession of these items will not be permitted to walk the site.
