Property Management in Vancouver

I thought it would be useful to repost this map of the locations of all the buildings, both current and upcoming, in the Coal Harbour neighbourhood. As we continue with our overview of new and upcoming buildings, this map gives a clear picture of where they are located, in relation to one another. The density of the luxury towers such as The Sapphire gives all suites close proximity to the waterfront, the marina, Stanley Park, downtown business core, and Robson Street shopping.

Luxury apartments with sweeping views like the suite we now have available in Cascina at Waterfront Place are for the discerning renter. In Vancouver’s Coal Harbour area, at West Pender and Broughton street, this residence is steps away from Robson Street, restaurants, shops, transit, Stanley Park, Canada Place and the Seawall. With a breathtaking view of Bayshore Marina and Stanley Park, it is possible to watch the cruise ships in Burrard Inlet, and to see the mountains of the North Shore. With many amenities, including a natural gas fireplace, the suite has a large outdoor balcony overlooking the water. The building offers a swimming pool, gym, whirlpool, sauna, library, billiards and a theatre room. Manicured grounds feature a private lagoon courtyard with extensive colourful landscaping and spectacular waterfalls. For more info, check our website.This is only one of the high-end luxury suites we manage. Owners of such distinctive properties in Coal Harbour, and other downtown locations, can be assured that we employ the highest standards in selecting renters, reflecting the value and prestige of the property.

Cascina

One of the most stunning new luxury residential developments in the works is the Laguna Parkside. Nested between Lost Lagoon and Coal Harbour, at the end of Alberni Street, it is in a highly-prized location.

Featuring visionary architecture, the Laguna Parkside is planned to be comprised of a Tower, a Mansion House and five exclusive 2-storey villas. At the ground level, all the condos and villas will be surrounded by lush landscaping, and the kind of innovative water features that have become a trademark of Coal Harbour development.

This still image from part of the 360 panorama on the Laguna website shows a remarkable overview of the spectacular views to be available from these luxury residences.

It will feature many amenities, such as a resort-style pool and fitness centre.

The anticipated Laguna Parkside will offer urban living at its finest.

(All the images included in this posting are from the Laguna Parkside site, which also features a 3D virtual aerial tour of the architecturally visionary complex, along with the 360 panorama. This is a must-see, but you’ll need Flash Player 6 and 1024 x 728 screen to view it.)

At Downtown Suites, our professional property management services extend beyond the downtown core, including Gastown, Coal Harbour, Yaletown and the West End. We also represent clients in Kitsilano and False Creek.

Right now we have a suite available in the Verona, located on West 7th Avenue and Granville Street. This is near both Granville Island and along South Granville, which is a centre in the city for culture, fine shopping and gourmet dining, with its charming streets, well-established art galleries, cafés and designer specialty shops.

We specialize in such urban locations, and find that the amenities in suites in buildings such as the Verona, are in demand by savvy Vancouver high-end renters. High-speed internet connection, and expanded recreation amenities including billiard room, fully equipped exercise room, spa, steamroom and sauna are very appealing, and renters appreciate the outdoor living spaces with tiled balconies and pavers on the roof deck. Secure bicycle storage is a must in urban Vancouver suites, as many residents make almost year-round use of the extensive civic bicycle paths for recreation and healthy energy-conscious transportation.

One of the most impressive structures to come along Coal Harbour will be the new Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre’s western expansion. Destined to be completed by late 2008, it will cover 1.2 million square feet, or 4 city blocks. A covered walkway will connect the original eastern section of the centre with the newly built addition.Its living roof is only one part of the environmental program of this expansion. Energy conservation, and innovative recycling, food and beverage management will combine with seawater heating and cooling and on-site water treatment to create a great example of green technology for the 21st century. Plans also include a fish habitat built into the foundation.

The expansion project will more than triple the current Convention Centre’s available space and will serve as the international broadcast centre for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

Their site features this illustration of how the Centre will look when completed.

A great example of the calibre of suites we manage can be found at the Marinaside Resort Residences by Concorde Pacific, in Vancouver’s Yaletown, sometimes called the best location on the waterfront. It’s close to the marina, the popular Roundhose community centre and Yaletown. Building amenities include a 24 hour concierge, swimming pool and exercise facilities, high-tech high-speed fibre-optic hook-ups for computers; in addition there are monitors that secure all entrances to building.

Right now we have a suite available at 193 Aquarius Mews. All suites in this development feature a great plan, and effective use of space. With sweeping panoramic views from a unique rounded living room, the suite looks west to the ocean, north to the mountains, east over the city and False Creek.
Features include hardwood floors, granite counters, and gas stove, insuite laundry and secured parking spot.
