Kirkland Tower Impresses

Most people familiar with Kirkland Tower probably associate it with its waterfront location and amazing views of the mighty Columbia River. But Kirkland Tower does have many exceptional homes that do not face the river. The building was well designed to create Columbia River view corridors even for units facing away from the river. Unit 1000 is situated on the 10th floor on the north side of the building and has a sweeping cityscape view looking north towards Esther Short Park and Downtown. But the west side of the unit is angled to create a view of the Waterfront Park and the Columbia River as it flows towards the Pacific. It is a clever design and adds value to the less expensive north facing units. 

This unit offers 3+ bedrooms and 3.5 baths with 3056 square feet of living space. It resides on the 10th floor which in this building is the defect 11th floor. It is high enough to look right over the top of the 8 story apartment building across the street. This gives a fantastic view of the ever changing Vancouver skyline. From the balcony style patio a wonderful panoramic cityscape view awaits with both day and nighttime enjoyment.

This unit is currently listed at $3.3 million which is nearly a million dollars less than the comparable unit on the south side of the building that faces the river. Kirkland Tower is one of only two true lifestyle condominium developments in the metro area, the other is The Ritz Carlton in Portland. It is not a hard argument to make that Kirkland features the superior neighborhood and pricing at Kirkland is a bit favorable as well. 

For those of you unfamiliar with Kirkland Tower, it is located right on Vancouver's new Waterfront facing the river and the Waterfront Park. It is the fourth tallest building in Downtown Vancouver and is connected to the Indigo Hotel. Lifestyle developments offer much more than just property amenities, Kirkland has full concierge services, room service with the quality of El Gaucho, and yes the building amenities are pretty nice too. Kirkland Tower has an owner's community penthouse with a complete kitchen indoor and outdoor spaces that capitalize on the spectacular views from atop the 13 story tower. It also features Vancouver's highest workout space and rooftop community garden space.
