The preliminary designs for the proposed tower on a highly publicized West End/Coal Harbour site have been unveiled by developer Anthem Properties.

The spring 2017 deal for the Chevron gas station site at West Georgia and Bidwell made headlines for its astronomical purchase price of $72 million.

The 16,369-square-foot site was the second-last remaining Vancouver gas station, as similar lots around the region are rapidly being gobbled up by land-hungry developers.

In its spring newsletter, Anthem Properties published a preliminary design rendering of the luxury tower that it proposes to build on the site, in partnership with New York architectural firm Kohn Pederson Fox.

The tower looks to be about 35 storeys tall, and the write-up that accompanies the rendering says that it will contain “120 spectacular homes with sweeping views.” That would equate to approximately four homes per floor, if a few floors were taken up with common spaces and amenities, and the top floors had just one or two units. The building narrows in several stages towards the top, which would create penthouses and sub-penthouses with large roof terraces.

The West End/Coal HarbourCommunity Plan allows for a 385-foot residential tower on the property, which is roughly a 35-storey building.
