550 EB Studio Apartments

550 East Broadway is a 4-storey mass timber development located just east of Main Street in Vancouver, BC. This exceptional infill project includes 25 highly efficient studio and one-bedroom rental apartments that benefit from extensive sustainability strategies, a thoughtful, minimalist design, and locally sourced materials.

Sustainable living is at the heart of the project, from the mass timber structural system, green roof, and shared urban agriculture to the highly efficient waste recovery heating + cooling system and passive solar design. Exposed natural timber inside the building creates a feeling of warmth and supports the health and well-being of residents, while from the street, the building’s perforated facade offers privacy and solar protection and creates a warm, glowing building at night.

Each self-contained apartment includes in-suite laundry, bulk storage, and direct access to its own private outdoor balcony or terrace space, along with a shared bike workshop and an amenity room connecting to an internal courtyard on the 4th floor, which has a staircase to the beautiful rooftop gardens. Generous bicycle storage amenities and a transit-oriented neighbourhood also allow residents several options for low carbon transportation.

This building 550 East Broadway creates sustainable, beautiful, and livable spaces that support residents and contribute to the local neighbourhood and community.
