Yarrow & Aster

Overview

Two Towers. One New Standard for Rental Housing

Developed by PCI, Yarrow and Aster are sister rental towers located at opposite ends of the same Hastings Street block. They were the first projects approved through Vancouver’s Moderate Income Rental Housing Pilot Program, with 20 percent of the homes reserved for moderate-income households.

  • Vancouver, BC
  • Completed in 2024
  • Mixed-Use
  • Each building rises 16 storeys above a narrow and steeply sloping site. A six-storey podium establishes a strong street presence, while ground-floor retail and lane-accessed parking respond to the practical demands of the urban setting.
  • Brick cladding gives the podiums a sense of permanence, with metal panel and window wall defining the towers above. Large framed portals at Levels 8 and 10 incorporate mature planting to soften the principal corners and bring greenery into the vertical composition.
  • Indoor and outdoor rooftop amenities provide residents with panoramic views across Vancouver. A VRF heating and cooling system supports efficient year-round comfort throughout both buildings.
