Cadillac Fairview unveils The Crystal at Waterfront Square
C
adillac Fairview (CF) is pleased to announce it has submitted a development permit application for its proposed office tower, The Crystal at Waterfront Square, which will be located at 555 West Cordova.
At the core of the new design is the reconfiguration of the building, which minimally touches the overall footprint of the current site. The reconfiguration allows for 85 per cent of the current surface parking lot to be repurposed as an open civic square, enabling the community to enjoy unimpeded harbour and mountain views.
With best-in-class employers seeking prime urban locations, efficient design and environmental efficiency, The Crystal at Waterfront Square has been carefully designed to meet these expectations and set a new bar in sustainable office design. Sustainable features include
Carbon neutral operating systems
Zero new parking stalls created for this project
Direct connectivity to the largest multi-modal transit hub in Vancouver (Waterfront Station)
Significant bicycle storage units with shower/change rooms and onsite maintenance facilities
WELL and LEED Platinum certifications
This exciting news follows just weeks after the company announced its intention to introduce a world-leading, luxury lifestyle hotel brand to downtown Vancouver's CF Pacific Centre. Including today's announcement and the concurrent redevelopment of the mall's rotunda (located at West Georgia and Howe Streets), CF is investing over $600 million in the city of Vancouver for employment and commercial purposes.
The Crystal at Waterfront Square is another example of Cadillac Fairview's commitment to designing and operating a world-class building that contributes to a vibrant and sustainable city, said Tom Knoepfel, Senior Vice President Western Portfolio, Cadillac Fairview. Cadillac Fairview is and has been a long-standing developer, owner, and manager of both retail and office properties in Vancouver and we're proud to be carrying on that tradition with this landmark development that will bring to market much needed class A office and commercial space in downtown Vancouver, furthered Mr. Knoepfel.
Subject to municipal approvals, CF hopes to commence construction in 2020 and looks forward to working with the City through the application process for The Crystal at Waterfront Square, and sharing updates as these projects progress through key milestones.
