For those who complain that Vancouver doesn't have enough interesting architecture, we can add another new building to our rebuttal (along with the Ritz Carlton, Jameson House, and Grace, among others).
Once it's completed in 2009, West Pender Place will be located a couple streets back from the waterfront, and a few blocks down from the Triangle West neighbourhood - a little closer to Stanley Park.
As for the details, the current proposal is for a taller building at 36 storeys high, and a shorter tower at 10 storeys. The buildings will consist of 145 residential units, with the middle section containing live-work townhouses.
Marketing for West Pender Place was rolled out this past September, with full page ads in the Vancouver Sun (link here, to pdf).
Surprisingly, the final plans haven't yet been approved - the building application won't be going before the Development Permit Board until December 17th of this year.
