CENTRAL – BY ONNI GROUP OF COMPANIES – VANCOUVER NEW DEVELOPMENT AND PRESALE

CENTRAL – 1618 QUEBEC STREET – VANCOUVER V6A 2W5

AN ARCHITECTURAL EVOLUTION
Central is an architectural icon in a sea of sameness, where high design meets high value in Southeast False Creek. Nothing else looks or feels like this. Not now. Not ever. Central is a complete reinvention of the residential tower, where high design is both accessible and exceptional. The original Skybridge feature joins commercial to residential, rooted in place by a forest of stylized columns that ground and define the building. Structure becomes sculpture.

Central truly is a one-of-a-kind value that may never be seen again in Vancouver: a rare blend of distinctive architecture, radiant views and a central location in one of the city’s last up and coming waterfront communities. Central puts you close to everything, and especially close to Vancouver’s celebrated waterfront. Here, you are just steps away from the water’s edge – and the countless opportunities that come with it.

“So many of the new downtown towers have been built in a very short time, and so they have become a sea of sameness – with the design of Central, we wanted something that would rise above the too often dull waters of that sea.” – Bruce Haden, Central’s Architect

The project is scheduled for completion in 2014. Available condos start at $356,900 from 540 to 1600 square feet. The project has a total of 304 units and 22 storeys.

ARCHITECTURE
• DESIGN WELL
Central combines architectural inspiration with unprecedented value and location. This is high design without the high price.

• WATER WORKS
A shimmering, calm reflecting pool brightens the courtyard. The central floating island provides shelter, ambiance and a relaxing place to sit.

• PACE EFFECTS
The central courtyard serves as a private haven and a public space. It is a place of mingling. Communal thinking for a community feel.

THE VIEWS
The farther out you look, the better life gets. The views from Central are awe-inspiring any way you look at them.
