The 500 foot Skyscraper planned for 2000 3rd Ave will be built as condominiums according to the project developer, Westbank of Vancouver, British Columbia.

The lot is currently a surface parking lot and a sales center pavilion is being constructed on the site at this time.

Some of the buildings proposed highlights:

• 459 condominium units
• Cantilevered rooftop swimming pool
• Podium will have retail space
• 6 floors of office space
• 38 floors of residences
• 3 floors of amenity space
• Will be a luxury project

We will know more about this project once Marco returns from his trip this week to Vancouver to meet with the development and sales team and learn more about the developer, the architect and this new building, which will be called First Light.
