The Butterfly

Westbank

Vancouver, BC

The Butterfly Tower development represents a harmonious blend of old and new. This mixed-use project, located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, features an eye-catching, continuously curving 57-storey luxury tower juxtaposed against the meticulous restoration of the historic First Baptist Church. With a strong commitment to community, the development offers affordable housing and public open spaces designed to foster a more vibrant, inclusive community in the downtown core.

At-grade, the Butterfly Plaza is a pocket park featuring curving forms that echo the architectural design through concrete seating elements, ribbons of paving, and lush native planting beds. Outdoor garden courtyards transform elevator lobbies into inviting public spaces where residents can gather, enjoy breathtaking views, and connect with their neighbours. Key aspects such as resilient site design, green mobility, water efficiency, and stormwater management underscore the project’s commitment to environmental stewardship and its pursuit of LEED Gold certification.
