Continuing its progress along the shores of False Creek, Concord Pacific's latest venture is called the Coopers Quay neighborhood. (Click image for a larger picture).
Located between the Cambie Street Bridge and the west side of the Plaza of Nations, the entire project won't be finished until 2008, when a total of 600 apartment units will be built, bringing about 1,000 new residents to the area, according to this article from the Yaletown View.
Phase one of the development, called Coopers Lookout, will combine a 30-storey (270 feet) building with a smaller, 10-storey building. The design is supposed to look like a ship that faces the water.
Excavation has already begun at the site, and construction is scheduled for completion by 2007. In all, 221 condo units will be have been built once phase I is complete.
One of the best features of the new Coopers Quay development - free kayaks for all the residents (or, at least they'll get to use them for free). There's also a rumour that a bowling alley will be going into the area too.
