Mike Stewart’s Sales at 1480 Howe Street
We helped a client sell 3602-1480 Howe Street during the preconstruction phase as an assignment of contract.
Architecture
1480 Howe Street was originally marketed during the pre-construction with some of the most innovative sales campaign in Vancouver’s history.
1480 Howe Street has set the architecture and design world abuzz with its utterly original twisted, tapered and textured bottom that expands into a grander profile as it rises above the Granville Street Bridge.
The 150-metre-high skyscraper is only the most visible component of what is certain to be a vibrant condominium and retail development positioned on both sides of the bridge.
Architectural renderings from Danish Architects BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group) depict a tower primed to become a coveted destination for architectural tourists and a Vancouver talking point for years to come.
The Vancouver buzz over this condominium development is sure to translate into enormous buying attention.

Inspired Condominium Development and Plaza Design
The innovative tower is not only eye-catching, but its tapered profile ensures that none of the condominiums will look out over the Granville Street Bridge.
Instead, residents will look down onto the proposed grass roofs of the development’s retail components on either side of the bridge.
As part of the public plazas, Westbank has created a stunning outdoor art gallery to add to the creative energy of the development.
Development Team
Westbank is a Vancouver condo leader and one of Canada’s premier real estate developers.
They are also responsible for the popular 60 West Cordova apartment project, the Fairmont Pacific Rim, the redevelopment of the former Woodward’s site, and Shangri-la Vancouver.
Most recently, Westbank completed 1033 Nelson Street, the Butterfly Vancouver tower on Nelson and Burrard and 188 Keefer Street in Chinatown.
Bjark Ingels Group BIG
Global superstar architect (Starchitect!) Bjarks Engels of BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group) is the Copenhagen-based architectural masterminds behind this new condo tower.
Their approach speaks for itself: “By hitting the fertile overlap between pragmatic and utopia, we architects once again find the freedom to change the surface of our planet, to better fit contemporary life forms.”
The huge number of architectural and design projects BIG has undertaken in the last decade—each of which is jaw-droppingly original—are evidence of the power of their vision.
Dialog, Cobalt Engineering, Phillips Farevaag Smallenberg Urban Design, Buro Happold, Glotman Simpson, and James KM Cheng Architects have also provided key input.
