West Pender Place is looking to be one of the last Coal Harbour developments for the foreseeable future. Why is that? Simply there won’t be anymore developable sites left after this one. As it is, they will be knocking down a few low rise commercial spots to build it. And what a terrific location it will be. Right at the end of Pender almost as it joins Georgia and next to the established and desirable Bayshore area, even in the near future it will be tough to find a better location.

From West Coast Homes and Design:

Through the past several decades the face of Coal Harbour has changed dramatically, from a low profile, industrial area to a bold collection of highrises with enchanting mountain and water views. In the midst of this reconfigured landscape some buildings stand taller than others, their landmark architecture a significant legacy. The latest addition to the Coal Harbour neighbourhood – West Pender Place – represents such an achievement through its clean and pure contemporary modernism.

In the words of the architect, James Hancock, “The site challenged us through its large and unconventional shape and we wanted to make a significant contribution to the architecture of Coal Harbour, a totem. It’s geometry is simple and sculptural, yet like a prism, its cantilevered, sloping sides creating drama and intrigue, the crisp pleat in the tower glass creating an ever-shifting silhouette.”

Developed by Reliance Properties (Coal Harbour) Ltd., this brilliant architectural composition comprises of three linked buildings: a 36-storey tower to the west, a mid-rise to the east and a central five-level podium building, 144 residences at West Pender Place in all, ranging in size from 600 to 2,300 square feet, penthouses up to 3,700 square feet with equally spectacular roof decks looking out to the marina.

The highrise tower at Pender and Nicola at West Pender Place condominiums faces northweast, 90 suites offering spectacular vistas, tow homes per floor from the 25th floor on up, then ingenious designed 1,000 square foot two level urban West Pender Place lofts, with two entrances, one on each floor from the seventh to 24th floor with delightful views to the southeast and southwest.

The 10-floor mid rise building at Broughton and Pender at West Pender Place in Coal Harbour downtown Vancouver faces northeast, while the central five-level podium building, with its lush rooftop gardens, assures an oasis of peace and tranquility. All amenities, which are housed in the large tower at West Pender Place living, from the lounge, pool, roof terrace, and full-sized gym to the guest and caretaker’s suite, match any of those found at a five-star resort.

“These are high-end buildings,” says marketing director Lily Korstanje, of Platinum Project Marketing. “Each one is its own little boutique happening, like a private club, meeting the internationally accepted standards of exclusivity. There’s no fighting to get in and out of the parkade or to line up for the swimming pool.”

Living up to these exceptional standards, interior features, throughout all the West Pender Place condo homes include exclusive Gaggenau appliances in Italian Dada kitchens, hardwood flooring, marble slab and glass walls in bathrooms and full-height glass sliding closet doors and partitions. All West Pender Place Coal Harbour floorplans have been rigorously engineered to enhance space, removing walls and opening up fabulous views. “We want to create a light, transparent, fluid feeling,” Korstanje says.

It’s going to be gorgeous, for sure.
