The tower offers sweeping views of historic mansions and the picturesque Nelson Park, creating a blend of urban sophistication and natural beauty. Its prime location places residents just steps away from the luxury shopping of Robson and Alberni streets, as well as the vibrant dining scene of Davie Village. Moreover, CURV’s proximity to Vancouver's premier business district makes it an ideal residence for professionals and luxury seekers alike.

Architectural and Environmental Ambition

CURV stands as a testament to architectural innovation and environmental responsibility. Rising 60 storeys, this luxury Passive House tower combines high-end living with sustainable design principles.

Design Excellence

Renowned architect Tom Wright, famed for his iconic Burj Al Arab, brings his visionary expertise to CURV. Inspired by natural forms, Wright’s design features a flowing, organic structure that symbolizes a fresh green shoot, breaking through fertile earth.

Complementing Wright’s architecture, interior designer Andres Escobar focuses on elegance and durability, selecting materials that will appreciate in value over time. Together, they create an enduring aesthetic that enhances the living experience.
