Büro Ole Scheeren's residential Fifteen Fifteen skyscraper in Vancouver, which will have a distinctive form with numerous stacked boxy volumes, has taken a step closer to reality as apartment pre-sales begin.
Sales will open in November 2021 for apartments in the proposed 42-storey Fifteen Fifteen residential tower at 1515 Alberni Street in the Coal Harbour neighbourhood.
The Fifteen Fifteen tower is planned for Vancouver's Coal Harbour neighbourhood
Developers Bosa Properties and Kingswood Properties first unveiled the design in 2015, planned for the same site but with the address 1500 West Georgia Street.
It was approved by the city council in 2018 and is set to start construction in 2022.
The project is not to be confused with a pair of similar towers designed by Büro Ole Scheeren for the city's West End, revealed in 2018 by the same developer but still in application review stage. Büro Ole Scheeren will also design the interiors to complement the architecture
Fifteen Fifteen will include 202 condominiums, ranging from studios to three-bedroom homes. Among these are 18 Observatory Residences located in the horizontally protruding portions of the building and four penthouse apartments.
The cantilevered sections of the Observatory Residences will be wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, intended to offer residents the sensation of floating above the city and landscape.
