Elegant luxury tower on the rise in Vancouver

- Contact:

Astriking, three-dimensiona­l residentia­l tower is rising in Vancouver. Fifteen Fifteen, located in the city’s exclusive Coal Harbour neighborho­od, will stand 42 stories tall and represents architect Ole Scheeren’s first architectu­ral project in North America.

The building’s defining features are a series of glass-enclosed cantilever­s that give the tower an angled physique.

“My vision for Fifteen Fifteen was to forge an immersive threedimen­sional connection between nature, urban living and personal space,” said Scheeren, who collaborat­ed with developers Bosa Properties and Kingswood Properties on the project. “The building actively positions the individual within its distinct community and embraces Vancouver’s breathtaki­ng landscape. I believe that the space of architectu­re can not only enrich our life, but also define us as human beings.”

A highlight of the building are the 18 Observator­y residences, which make use of the aforementi­oned glass cantilever­s to frame views of the water, mountains and cityscape.

There are also studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom units available, as well as a series of penthouses.

Scheeren was integral to the design process, selecting stylish fittings, high-end appliances and state-of-the-art audio/visual and home automation systems from manufactur­ers like Dada, Dornbracht, Miele and Bang & Olufsen.

Fifteen Fifteen is mere minutes from Stanley Park, the Pacific Ocean, the North Shore Mountains and a row of luxury boutiques along Alberni Street.

A total of 69 floor plans are available to choose from, and prices start at $900,000.

Luxury amenities at the tower aiming for LEED Gold Certificat­ion include a 24-hour auto valet and concierge service, a fitness studio and a yoga room with locker and towel service. The 29th and 30th floors are devoted to lounges with 270-degree views.

“We have partnered with one of the world’s most celebrated architects and a curated team of world-class collaborat­ors to set a new standard of luxury in Vancouver,” said Lorne Segal, founder and president of Kingswood Properties. “This is a project I am really proud to be bringing to life as it meets my philosophy of quality over quantity.”
