Thank you for your interest in Qube. Located two blocks from the Coal Harbour waterfront, this uniquely engineered building was constructed in the late 1960’s as the head office of Westcoast Transmission. Duke Energy acquired Westcoast Transmission in 2002 and shortly thereafter Anthem Properties (as owners of the building) applied to the City of Vancouver to convert the office to condominium apartments.
Suspended from steel cables mounted on a central concrete core, this building is a Vancouver landmark. To maintain and enhance the historical value of this building, Anthem upgraded the strength of the original core structure and re-faced the exterior glass to provide opening windows while maintaining the original look and feel. Effectively, Anthem created a unique urban living experience, just blocks to the waterfront, the shopping mecca of Robson Street, and the downtown business core.

Located at the corner of Howe and Davie Streets in downtown Vancouver, Alto introduces the “Height of Living” with 110 condos with 10-foot ceilings. Combined with 5,000 square feet of retail space at street level and surrounded by dozens of great amenities, there is no surprise that Alto is already 90% sold and due to complete at the end of 2009.
