Four months since we last checked in at the site of Cardero, and the 26- and 21-storey high-rise duo by Bosa Properties has been rising fast. Having now risen more than 2/3 of its final height, the conjoined towers have taken up a commanding presence from their post at the corner of Cardero and W Gerogia.

As viewed below, the conjoined towers follow the curve of W Georgia and W Pender Streets, along which the front of the development faces. Split thus into two distinct volumes, both the towers and podiums of each section have been angled to fit into the street grid.

The 119-unit Cardero sits atop a multi-storey commercial podium base, which will contain 45,000 square feet of office space within the top three floors, while the ground level will be host to retail. As the future home for more than 200 new residents, to say nothing of the dozens of office and retail workers that will daily occupy the site, Cardero will bring a lively mix of residents and workers to the heart of Coal Harbour.

Cardero will also come with a full range of finishes, including wide-plank oak floors, honed limestone tile flooring, quartz countertops, and BOSAspace built-in furniture to maximize space. As for amenities, Cardero will include a lounge, fitness centre, and sixth floor rooftop deck with BBQs and an outdoor terrace.
