A closer look to the amazing The Butterfly luxury suites and interiors.
Situated in the intersection of Burrard and Nelson Streets, The Butterfly creates a gateway into Vancouver’s West End, efficiently changing from the primarily commercial nature of the Downtown District into one of the most comfortable residential neighbourhoods.
The Butterfly tower shape refers to the historical use of this place by taking on the form of a group of abstracted church organ pipes.
The West End has the rich landscape traditions, trees and gardens play a vital role in the project design, surrounding the podium and extending up the tower.
The top of the tower will have green spaces and landscaping, that will create a popular vantage point in the city skyline. A wide, two-lane swimming pool and gym will be built on the third floor of the tower.
The proposed development will include the following approximate gross areas
- 80,000 square feet of community uses, social programs and church activities;
- 50,000 square feet of rental housing including affordable and senior’s housing;
- 460,000 square feet of market condominiums, comprising approximately 294 units, ranging from 1 bedroom to large 3 bedroom and den unit types;
- 1-3 bedroom homes, 6 sub penthouses, 2 penthouses;
- Homes from 612 sq/ft to 5,163 sq/ft;
- Maintenance fees estimated at $0.65/sqft;
- 3,300 square feet of commercial retail space (CRU) at the ground level of the condo tower and heritage building;
- Six stories of underground parkade and mezzanine, comprising approximately 497 total parking stalls.
