Southeast False Creek’s Best Value
BEST ARCHITECTURE – Central will be the most architecturally significant residential building and a famous landmark in Vancouver. The unique skybridge is positioned to maximize mountain, city, and water views and is truly unlike anything else. Central’s unconventional design has been applauded by everyone from local investors and first-time buyers to international homebuyers.
BEST LOCATION – Central is only 60 seconds to the water’s edge and a 3 minute walk to the Skytrain.
BEST VALUE – Homes average $650/sq ft and offer premium Jenn Air appliances with double-door fridge, natural stone countertops, wide-plank oak flooring and forced air cooling.
Being Central means being conveniently connected to everything you love about Vancouver. Downtown, Kits, Main Street— you name it. Potential radiates in every direction. Central is the hub, heart and centre of Metro Vancouver. Looking for opportunities to work and play? Pick a direction and go.

Architecture
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.
“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
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.
SPACE 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.
