Bayview at Coal Harbour
Vancouver, B.C.




 
 
 

Located at 1529 West Pender in downtown Vancouver, Bayview at Coal Harbour is a mixed use project which includes a 30 storey rental residential tower, 11 live/ work townhouses, and 2,950 sm of strata commercial space.

The site is the sole connection between the water oriented Coal Harbour development and the Pender and Georgia Street corridor. The commercial component of the development and the entrance to the residential tower constitute the Pender Street edge of the site. The townhouses are orientated to Hastings Street, which is restricted to traffic on this block. The three main elements of the programme (commercial, strata townhouse, rental tower) have their own identity while sharing materials to create a unified project.

The rental residential tower has been oriented to maximize the number of units facing views. All upper units will have at least a partial view of water and mountains. Units will be predominantly small one bedroom suites with common laundry facilities on each floor.

Commercial uses include at grade retail space to the Pender Street front with office use above facing both Pender and Hastings Streets.

The Hastings Street townhouses will be live/work units incorporating a small office component (15.3 sm / suite) at entry level off Hastings Street, with two floors of living space above (2 bedroom units). The townhouses will have direct access from the underground parking below.

The tower facade is broken with vertical structural elements and a slight stepping of the facade emphasizing the height and slimness of the tower.
