About Shaw Tower

The first 16 or so floors are offices and the residences start on the 19th floor, with their own street entrance on Cordova. Brokerage profiles highlight fast elevators, a private screening room and limestone and granite finishes.

The building sits a block from the Coal Harbour seawall and Waterfront station, and a short walk from Canada Place and Stanley Park.

Some sources give a 2004 or 2010 completion; 2005 is the most common figure. The screening room and elevator details come from brokerage profiles.

Who Shaw Tower suits, and who should look elsewhere

A good fit for

Buyers who want a high-floor Coal Harbour home with views, a private lobby and concierge, and a short walk to the financial district and seawall.

Look elsewhere if you are

You prefer an all-residential building; you share the tower, if not the entrance, with a large office population.

Before you buy in any strata building, ask for the Form B information certificate, two years of strata council minutes and the depreciation report; together they show the strata’s finances, special levies and upcoming repairs. Use the condo fee calculator to check monthly costs and the property transfer tax calculator for closing.
