A View to Thrill
Perched high above Vancouver’s streets, TELUS Garden isn’t just another glass tower in the city’s skyline – it’s a $750-million statement on how architecture can be both cutting-edge and eco-friendly. This impressive redevelopment project, consisting of a 44-story residential tower and a 22-story office building, takes the idea of a “Smart Building” to new heights.
With its arsenal of high-efficiency heat pumps, waste heat recovery systems, and radiant heating and cooling, TELUS Garden practically writes the book on energy efficiency. Throw in demand-controlled ventilation, LED lighting, and over 10,000 square feet of green roofs, and you’ve got a sustainable civic icon that’s as smart as it is stylish.
With the bustling Port of Vancouver in the distance, you can’t help but appreciate the seamless blend of advanced design and environmental stewardship that this project represents. It’s proof that in Vancouver, you can have your green roof and live under it, too.
