Project Summary

The Shaw Tower, located in Vancouver’s Coal Harbour district of the downtown waterfront, consists of 24 floors of luxury live/work condominiums situated on top of a 16 storey, 298,000 ft² office tower. Several of the 130 residential units have been significantly customized and incorporate state of the art security, communication, and control systems.

The building’s anchor tenant, Shaw Communications, occupies 7 floors. One of the tallest buildings in Vancouver, the building incorporates amenities such as a fitness centre, daycare, and 5 levels of underground parking with separate entrances for Shaw, the residential units, and public areas of the building.

The office building incorporates a building automation control system which controls mechanical equipment as well as lighting systems.

In addition to the emergency generator for life safety, Shaw Communications has installed 2 – 1000 kW generators and a UPS system to provide stand-by power for their data centre and cable services.
