Introducing CURV – Vancouver’s tallest residential high-rise and the world’s tallest passive house. Located at the highest point of downtown Vancouver, this stunning architectural marvel reflects the dynamic energy of the surrounding Pacific Northwest environment. The project is being managed by Kheng Ly from Canada’s Brivia Group and designed by world-renowned architect Tom Wright, with interior design by Andres Escobar of Lemay & Escobar.

CURV is not just any ordinary residential high-rise; it represents a revolution in sustainable urban living. The building is constructed as a passive house, a concept that originated in Germany and has now become a global trend. The idea behind a passive house is to achieve maximum energy efficiency by minimizing the building’s energy consumption, with the aim of reducing carbon emissions and making the building more eco-friendly.

 

CURV’s passive house design means that the building is almost airtight, allowing for ultra-filtered air to circulate throughout the building, keeping the air inside the building clean and healthy. This feature is particularly important in today’s world, where air pollution has become a significant concern in many urban areas.

In addition to the ultra-filtered air, CURV also features soft-sound technology that provides a quieter and more peaceful environment. The building’s construction materials have been carefully selected to reduce sound transmission, which is essential in a busy city like Vancouver. Soft-sound technology, combined with ultra-filtered air, creates a serene and healthy living space for residents of CURV.

Another noteworthy feature of CURV is its energy recovery system. The building’s ventilation system is designed to recover heat from the exhaust air and reuse it to preheat the incoming fresh air. This technology helps to reduce the building’s energy consumption and, therefore, its carbon footprint.

CURV’s design is also intended to maximize natural light and views. The building’s curved shape allows for a more extensive range of views, while the floor-to-ceiling windows provide plenty of natural light, creating an open and inviting atmosphere.

CURV’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond the building’s design. The developers have also ensured that the construction process itself is eco-friendly. They have used locally sourced materials, minimized waste, and implemented recycling measures to reduce the environmental impact of the construction.

The 58-storey building will comprise a total of 358 units, ranging from one to three-bedroom units, with sizes ranging from 500 to 1,800 square feet. The building’s amenities are equally impressive, with a fitness center, a yoga studio, a steam room, a sauna, and a spa, among others. The building will also feature a rooftop terrace, complete with a barbecue area, a fire pit, and a hot tub, offering residents breathtaking views of Vancouver’s skyline.

CURV’s location at the highest point of downtown Vancouver means that residents will be within easy reach of everything the city has to offer. The building is within walking distance of some of the city’s best restaurants, bars, and shopping centers, making it an ideal choice for those who want to experience the best of city living.

CURV represents a new era in sustainable urban living. Its passive house design, soft-sound technology, and energy recovery system make it one of the most eco-friendly buildings in the world. Its commitment to sustainability extends beyond the building’s design, with environmentally friendly construction practices and a range of amenities that promote healthy living. The combination of its stunning design, prime location, and commitment to sustainability make CURV a unique and desirable place to call home.

While the blog has provided an overview of the stunning CURV development, there’s nothing quite like experiencing it in person. If you’re interested in learning more or arranging a private viewing, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 604 612 6392. I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have and help you discover the incredible living experience that CURV has to offer.

1515 Alberni

Alberni Street Vancouver is undergoing a radical renaissance of development.

Alberni Vancouver developments are booming, with multiple projects nearing completion while others are approved and ready to begin.

Alberni Street should be your destination if you want the finest in luxury living.

With a long list of new Alberni developments, the most challenging part might be choosing where to invest. Learn more about what’s happening in the Alberni Street area.

Alberni Street Developments, Vancouver

The neighbourhood is undergoing a tremendous transformation over the next 10 years. Over the past few years, the general area  has become a major cluster for high-calibre architecture by international design firms. Located only a few blocks from one of the best urban parks in the world, Stanley Park,  Alberni street is well situated to take advantage of the various amenities the area has to offer, including some of the best restaurants, waterfront, and sea wall. In just over the last decade, though, property on Alberni Street have been some of the hottest in the world.  As this development renaissance took on speed, it started with some high-end restaurants. Not long after, luxury retail brands set up flagship storefronts to make it destination shopping. Nearby luxury hotels were inviting for Asian tourists who appreciated the area’s luxury and high-end options. It wasn’t long after that the Alberni street developments for luxury downtown living followed.  In just over a decade, a frenzied development planning spree are drawing in the stars of  architecture and the development world, so every building has a way to stand out from the other.

Take a closer look at some of the developments in the works for Alberni Street.

1. Fifteen Fifteen

This new condo development, located at 1515 Alberni Street, Vancouver, is aptly named Fifteen Fifteen.

The Vancouver real estate luxury condos are being put together by developers Bosa Properties and Kingswood Properties.

The building is in the preconstruction stage of development. The builders of this project will be Bosa Properties and Kingswood Properties. Architects are from the firm Buro Ole Scheeren and Francl Architecture.

Upon completion of construction, interior design work will be done by Buro Ole Scheeren.

Amenities in all the Alberni Street developments are important. Fifteen Fifteen will include amenities :

  • Resident’s Lounge
  • Concierge
  • Fitness Studio
  • Valet Parking
  • Private Dining Room

 

Fifteen Fifteen is imagined and created by globally renowned architect Ole Scheeren. The building’s goal is to bring horizontality to urban living.

With a starting price of $900,000, there are 202 calibre studios up to three-bedroom units in the building.

Scheeren created glass-enclosed cantilevers intending to bring all that outside Vancouver has to offer inside. Units proudly boast 270-degree views from inside.

From inside, look towards the water, the mountains, and the city for the best of Vancouver living.

The estimated completion for Fifteen Fifteen is Winter and Spring of 2027.

2. 1550 Alberni Street

For those interested in discriminating Vancouver real estate, it’s time to look at 1550 Alberni Street.

Known simply by all who see it as Alberni, designed by renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma.

Even with all the luxury construction happening around it, Alberni is expected to be a landmark when it reaches completion in 2023.

The 43-storey residential tower works with a visionary conception and intricate design details to create a  world-class modern building.

What makes Alberni so unique? The facade of the building has a striking use of a striking combination of glass and polished anodized aluminum.

Described as ‘carved deductions’ on the building’s upper half of the southwest corner and lower half of the northeast corner. This helps to be visually inspired by nature and shaped by the environment to create the look that the building is almost turning and twisting.

Yet, those who invest in Alberni will get deep outdoor spaces with wood-featured deep terraces. These spaces are being touted as outdoor gardens as a part of your unit.

The building features a proposed 188 residential units. It will include retail space, a restaurant, and a highly unique ground-level Japanese moss garden.

3. 1640/1650 Alberni Street

 

In December of 2021, Vancouver City Council also approved an application for a 43-storey condominium and rental housing tower to be located at 1640-1650 Alberni Street.

The new building will be located near the prominent intersection of West Georgia Street and Cardero Street.

The new construction will replace the 15-storey tower with 66 rental homes and three levels of office located mid-block of this address.  The tower will feature 264 homes.

The homes will include 198 luxury condominium units in the upper levels and 66 one-for-one replacement secured rental units.

You might wonder about the 66 rental homes losing their place to live. Interestingly, at least 20% of the units\that’ll be available for rent will be at below-market rates. The displaced residents of the existing building will get the right of first refusal to return at 20% below-market rents.

San Francisco architects from Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) are leading this project. You might recognize them from their work on Dubai’s Burj Khalifa and New York City’s One World Trade Center (Freedom Tower).

The building has a series of stacked trays with a strategic spacing of continuous balconies optimized for winter solar heating. The building corners will feature three-storey sky gardens.

4. 1444 Alberni Street

1468

Currently, in predevelopment, 1400 Alberni is being developed by Landa Global Properties and Asia Standard Americas. Preconstruction work is being done at 1444 Alberni Street for a projected completion of 2024, with a construction date yet to be determined.

The units at 1444 Alberni Street will be condominiums. The builders on this project are Landa Global Properties and Asia Standard Americas, who will be working with architects from  Robert A. M. Stern Architects.

The 1444 Alberni Street development is touted as the tallest Passive House development in the world. It features the work of architect Robert A.M. Stern.

Stern has designed modernistic building with a nod to Vancouver’s rich architectural past; the two towers feature a modernist limestone facade with intricate detailing.

His other goal was to create a building with a rigorous energy efficiency standard and innovative sustainable design.

The twin towers are expected to hold up to 459 residential units. Developers  Asia Standard Americas expect to have preliminary unit floor plans soon.

5. 1818 Alberni Street

1818

1818 Alberni Street will offer 54 intimate luxury residences nearby Stanley Park. It’s a coveted address, nestled in an inviting downtown neighbourhood where dynamic Vancouver mingles with the wild, wondrous nature of world-renowned Stanley Park. Bask in spectacular city and ocean views, serene seawall strolls, and a lifestyle of comfort and convenience in the most livable city in the world. Cityside and parkside. Elegant and expansive. Striking and sophisticated. 1818 Alberni is a multilayered experience in elevated luxury living. The boutique collection seamlessly weaves iconic contemporary architecture, interior finishes of the highest quality and ingenious design details for harmonious living in perfect balance. The building’s distinct contemporary architecture and refined aesthetic are further evident throughout the interiors of every home. Premium materials and finishes of the highest quality adorn every space, while carefully planned layouts create exceptionally expansive living environments ideal for any occasion.

6. 1668/1684 Alberni Street

Vancouver City Council recently approved the rezoning application for the construction at 1668-1684 Alberni Street with a vote of seven to one.

This 40-storey luxury condominium tower expects to bring in $44 million in revenue for other projects for the city. Because of the approval, the municipal government is expected to receive a community amenity contribution (CAC) in cash totalling $37 million.

This is believed to be the largest ever CAC contribution in recent memory. It’s thought this donation will quickly get diverted towards the creation of a new replacement for the Vancouver Aquatic Centre.

This striking single tower project approved will be located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Alberni Street and Bidwell Street.

An interesting feature of this building’s 128 condominium units is that they’re getting billed as large enough for families. The condo units will be equally divided between only two-bedroom and three-bedroom units.

In addition to its unique soaring design, the building will also include an extensive water feature at the base of the building and the use of green roofs.

Architects from Revery Architecture describe the tower as a weave or exoskeleton, taking inspiration from the repetitive structures found in nature. This uniquely includes the shape of DNA, the cellular pattern of leaves, and a whale skeleton.

1668-1684 Alberni Street got permission for its building to achieve a height of 385 ft (117 metres),  the maximum height for the site under the city’s West End Community Plan.

It will also soar underground with 359 secured bike parking places and 167 vehicle parking stalls.

7. 1700 Alberni Street 

1700

1700 Alberni Street is in the development stage as two towers featuring encompassing outdoor spaces and 387 units.

UK-based architects at Heatherwick Studio are developing the space, which is their first building in Canada. Heatherwick Studio is working in partnership with Bosa Properties and Kingswood Properties.

Heatherwick Studio is well known for working on historical architectural projects. Currently, they have 35 projects going on in 10 countries. This includes the landmark tower at Hudson Yards in New York City.

This firm’s renowned for some of its more extravagant projects, including:

  • The London 2012 Olympic Cauldron
  • The new Routemaster double-decker bus for Transport For London
  • The Vessel in New York City

They are also developing new, high-profile offices for Google in California and London.

The plan for 1700 Alberni Street includes two towers, the East tower with 30 floors. The west tower will feature 39 floors.

Both towers sit atop a podium-like base for the building, which the towers grow out of.

The podium base will feature a destination restaurant and boutique retail spaces.

The original renderings submitted to Vancouver got, at best, mixed reviews. Since then, Heatherwick Studios has done more design work which was received with more enthusiasm.

The focus continues to be flowing spaces between indoor and outdoor living in the high-rise.

1515 Alberni is set for completion in 2027.

Development on Nearby Georgia Street

Development is not solely soaring on Alberni Street. Nearby Georgia Street is also seeing its fair share of new developments on the horizon.

As many as five different projects look to get added to Georgia Street. Not only is this good for the West End in Vancouver, but it’s especially good for the investor.

There’s a real estate option for anyone who’s in the market to buy in downtown Vancouver, whether that’s on Alberni Street or a block over on  Georgia Street.

The new development will be located in the 1400 block of Alberni and Nicola Street in Vancouver’s West End. The proposed design incorporates historical masonry, sculptural details, and iconic crowns over the two building towers.  The building will be the world’s biggest and tallest ultra-low energy building that requires little energy for space heating or cooling. Its unique design will integrate well in the West End neighbourhood. The developers, Landa Global Properties and Asia Standard Amercias proposal consist of 43 and 48-story towers.

1468 Alberni will provide 580 new homes to the urban neighbourhood.  The development will also incorporate family-oriented homes, a 10,000 square foot childcare facility, and a new park on Nicola Street.  The project is designed by New York-based Robert AM Stern Architects, with local firm MCM Partnership acting as the architect of record.

There will be a mix of market strata units and 129 market rental units, which is a replacement of the existing number of rental homes on the site. The unit mix includes 34 studio apartments, 167 one-bedroom apartments, 188 two-bedroom apartments, 34 three-bedroom apartments, 16 four-bedroom apartments, and four penthouse suites. The project’s entire floor area will span 647,000 sq. ft and have six levels of underground parking.

” The prosed design celebrates the diverse architectural styles in the city and provides a unique contrast to the Vancouverism style of glass towers,”  reads the architects’ design rationale.

” A key material element that is unique in contemporary Vancouver high-rise design is the use of limestone cladding on the whole project- providing a direct link between the proposal and the historic Vancouver icons from which it draws its inspiration. This material strategy of quality and authenticity is carried forward into other major materials such as granite accents, rubbed bronze spandrels, and steel details.”

It is anticipated that the superior building envelope, insulation, and a design that optimizes solar gain and shade will reduce the amount of energy required to heat and cool the towers by nearly 90%.

” Vancouver is famous for its concrete glass towers, a building model that has been exported around the world, but the buildings themselves aren’t good for the planet,” said Eesmyal Santos-Brault, a passive house consultant.

“If we can build a tower that still makes money and is good for the environment and doesn’t consume much energy or carbon, that’s a win-win for everybody.”

Vancouver’s zero-emissions plan

Vancouver’s city council adopted a zero-emissions building plan in 2017 that aims for the elimination of greenhouse gas emissions in all new construction by 2030.

Terrace House Development by Portliving

Award-winning real estate developer, PortLiving, and world-renowned Japanese architect, Shigeru Ban, are collaborating to develop one of the last available properties in Vancouver’s Coal Harbour neighbourhood. Terrace House will be Ban’s first development project in Canada and is slated to become the world’s tallest hybrid timber building.

Designed by Pritzker Prize winning architect Shigeru Ban, Terrace House represents the best in design, exclusivity and luxury urban living. Offering cutting edge design and material use, Terrace House will set a new precedent for architecture and innovation not only in Vancouver, but around the world.

The project consists of 20 private homes carefully assembled within an architectural masterpiece – a magnificent icon set in Vancouver’s Coal Harbour, adjacent to the landmark-listed Evergreen Building, designed by the late Arther Erickson.

The design of the ‘Terrace House’ pays tribute to its neighbour, adopting many of the architectural cues of the Evergreen.  Visually, the terraces on the ‘evergreen building’ continue almost seamlessly across ‘terrace house’ on every level, while triangular shapes, natural materials, and greenery have been used throughout both schemes. ‘Shigeru ban has tremendous respect for Arthur Erickson’s work,’ said Dean Maltz, managing partner at Shigeru Ban Architects Americas. ‘it was the opportunity to design a building next to one of Erickson’s masterpieces that initially drew him to this innovative project.’

Adjacent to the Evergreen Building

According to the design description, “meticulously engineered timber” will be used to create the building’s latticework frame, which will be interspersed with an abundance of greenery rising up from the ground floor. The proposed design will create not only the world’s largest timber hybrid structure, but will be a luminous icon for Vancouver’s growing cityscape

The project boasts an  impressive lineup of professionals working on this project – Shigeru Ban, mastercraftsman Hermann Blumer, landscape architect Cornelia Oberlande

According to the developers, the primary goal of the project is to make a statement of intent concerning vancouver’s commitment to sustainable design and advanced timber engineering and construction.

 ‘we have brought together the best of the best — a team of true experts in creative collaboration, working together for the first time ever on a single project. the result is truly a once-in-a-lifetime project setting new standards in design and construction’

“We are honoured to be working with Shigeru Ban and his team to bring a visionary design and new landmark to the City of Vancouver,” said Macario (Tobi) Reyes, founder and CEO of PortLiving. “We are extremely excited by Shigeru Ban’s decision to bring his craft to the Pacific Northwest, where we expect he will be embraced for his environmentally-sustainable approach, creative integration of outdoor living, and his leadership in innovation.”

Wood structural engineer Hermann Blumer, a long time collaborator of Ban, is also involved in the project. ‘every detail has been considered right down to the specific foliage on the terraces,’ says Macario Reyes, Founder and CEO of Portliving. ‘it only made sense to bring on Cornelia Oberlander to continue her vision and create continuity between the evergreen building by Arthur Erickson and terrace house by Shigeru Ban.’

The first 12 floors of Terrace House will be constructed of concrete and steel, expressed as an architectural finish to Erickson’s iconic work. Cornelia Hahn Oberlander, the original landscape architect for the Evergreen Building, will help ensure harmony between the two buildings. The upper portion of Terrace House will be a distinct, triangular, glass-clad mass timber structure utilizing local timber.

The project consists of a number of 2 bedroom units and three bedroom suites on the lower floors, as you ascend the tower there are only 2 suites per floor and higher up – single floor units crowned with the top 4 level penthouse.  The project is fifty per cent sold with the majority of the two bedrooms taken. There are still a number of full floor opportunities s along with three bedroom units.

The ground floor will have a public space with likely an Art gallery or  Japanese restaurant. The main residents’ entrance will be on the north side and include  full-service amenities: concierge, gym , yoga room, spa and event centre.

Development Highlights

ALBERNI by Kengo Kuma.

A uniquely shaped residential tower at 1550 Alberni designed by Kengo Kuma, a renowned Japanese architect, will be a new landmark in Vancouver when completed in 2021. Unlike any other classic Japanese shaped residential tower, this masterpiece is a world-class modern building with a visionary conception and intricate design details. The design was inspired by nature and shaped by the environment while respecting the Japanese spatial traditions. In particular the emphasis was set on the atmosphere rather than the object in order to create a serene visceral experience. The urban strategy aims to improve the city and its relation to nature. Developed by Westbank & Peterson Group this tower in Downtown’s Coal Harbour will visibly excite people from around the world.

1550 Alberni

Inspired by the environment, the organic shape of this challenging 43-storey tower was designed with special curved concrete in combination with diagonally symmetrical deductions to counterbalance the hanging volume above. The façade will be finished with a curtain wall clad in anodised aluminium. Architecturally, it creates a reflection effect of the sky, natural light and other buildings, a facade that disappears and reappears like clouds.

Two remarkable scoops carve the tower to form deep balconies furnished in wood. The recessed form of the building respects and optimizes neighbouring views. A concept of ‘carved deductions’ not only optimizes the views but also strengthens the relationship to the street, to its urban and geographic context. All 188 residents will have the feeling of being close to the ground and nature. While the story that lies behind these deductions is that it creates a symbolic entryway to the building and to downtown Vancouver with views along the street.

Coal Harbour Sub Penthouse

Kuma’s inspiration by nature is clearly reflected by the ground floor of the building, a Japanese moss garden under arching structures surrounding an amphitheatre shaped form. This ground level green space defines the entrance of the building and is a public amenity that connects nature with street-life. It can be used for various activities such as concerts, small parties or to enjoy a pause in the middle of the city.

Pool

Above this amphitheatre awaits a swimming pool: a strikingly layered wood standalone wall resembling the childhood game of pick-up sticks inside the concave space’s pool area will be landscaped with a Japanese moss garden.

Curved base

Kengo Kuma is an architect who values traditional Japanese wooden constructions and craftsmanship with a modern twist. His ample use of wood creates intimacy and warmth responds to the abundance of nature in Vancouver being close to Stanley Park. In fact wood disappeared from the city in the 20th century so Kuma wanted to revive the feeling of living with wood and the warmth of wood. However the tower rises at 135 meters (436 ft.), the ground level wooden timber constructions should give people a sense of craftsmanship. As such, it is a major emblematic element in Kengo Kuma’s architectural design and it is also frequently used in his previous works.
The mixed-use development features a wine tasting room, art gallery, music room, double-storey fitness centre, retail space and a unique Waketokuyama Japanese Restaurant. For the first time this restaurant will be based outside Japan. The Tokyo restaurant has two Michelin stars and is considered to be one of the best Kaiseiki restaurants in Japan. Furthermore this elegant project features six levels of underground parking resulting in 271 vehicles spots, 49 electric vehicle charging stations and 248 bicycle stalls .

Kengo Kuma Architects and Associates also took care of the interior design for the luxurious residential units in this building. All the units are finished using natural materials, craftsmanship and thoughtful detail such as the organic shape in the units, floor-to-ceiling glazing and open patios. The penthouse unit will have a terrace and swimming pool with magnificent views of English Bay. Some units will feature a Japanese soaking tub on the balcony, also known as a Furo used in a Japanese tea ceremony. By bringing together the Eastern and Western culture this unique project is a sort of cultural exchange. The city itself is multicultural so the details and materials coming from Japan and Asia are chosen carefully to match this cultural exchange. Using materials from other cultures can stimulate the city. 1150 Alberni is an overall experience defined by interwoven layers of textures and themes. The project clearly is prime contemporary real estate with a tribute to the Japanese culture.

Pricing

The typical home price will be approximately $2000 per square foot. Sales for available units range in price from $1,158,900 to over $19,989,900. The development has a total of 188 units. Private purchase appointments will be scheduled beginning early March at the “Teahouse by Kengo Kuma” sales centre. For further interest please contact me at 604 612 6392

West Vancouver has always been known for its West Coast Modernism. For many years, this area has been attracting families who want to live in a village atmosphere that embraces the natural landscape in a waterfront community and shopping neighbourhood. Stretching along the gentle shores of the Pacific inlet of West Vancouver, facing south, Ambleside is a unique residential haven that boasts excellent schools, waterside parks, swimming beaches and waterfront homes along one of the most breathtaking shorelines Vancouver has to offer.

New to the neighbourhood is Grosvenor Ambleside, the latest condo development currently in preconstruction at 1300 Ambleside Lane in West Vancouver.

Grosvenor Ambleside (Phase 2)

Designed by Architect James Cheng, Grovernor Ambleside embraces West Coast modernism with two terraced buildings that step-back from two storeys at the sidewalk, to six and seven storeys at the centre.  The new homes will sit above shops, cafes and restaurants at the street level. A large pedestrian galleria, open at both ends, will sit between the two buildings  creating a 650 square  metre  plaza with direct pedestrian access from Marine Drive to Bellevue and open views to the waterfront.

502692-architecture-herojpgarchitecture-hero

The final collection of 42 homes (phase 2) will continue to embrace the highest standards in West Coast design and waterfront living. The new development is very impressive with  amazing architectural, modern design and, of course, great views of West Vancouver’s waterfront and North Shore mountains.

The first building consists of 98 residences and the second building consists of 42 new residences. Two buildings will be connected to each other with glazed pedestrian galleria where people will be able to gather and enjoy music as well as artwork.

There is no doubt that buildings at Grosvenor Ambleside will provide their residents with the highest standards of living. The construction uses some of the most innovative technologies (developed by Millson) as well as locally sourced materials are used to for the two buildings.

Hundreds of West Coast residents helped Grovernor define the distinctive design through ‘ideas fairs’ and other public meetings with the architect and development team.

42 New Residences Coming Soon

Each of 42 new residences are uniquely designed and have both interior and outdoor living areas. Residences come with the most up-to-date facilities and offers fantastic views either on the ocean or on the mountains.

Grosvenor Ambleside

Grosvenor Ambleside

The first building at Grosvenor Ambleside has been very successful. The second building is expected to repeat its success. It’s important to point out that the first offerings were sold out very quickly, almost all residences of the first building are already sold. However, there is still a unique opportunity to buy a residence at Grosvenor Ambleside. The second and final building at Grosvenor Ambleside is under construction and the presentation center opening in early November.

Rare Opportunity to Own on West Vancouver’s Waterfront

17 new residences have unforgettable water views and 25 new residences have fantastic mountain views. The prices on new residences with water views start from $3,650,900 and the prices on new residences with mountain views start from $925,900.
