1408-1050 Burrard at Wall Centre..Originally part of the suite of dreams collection.

I am handing over the keys for the condo I sold at  1408-1050 Burrard St Wall Centre today. This suite was originally part of the Suite of Dreams Collection, when we sold Wall Centre back in 1996. We took the entire  14th floor at the wall Centre and redesigned every suite with well known designers of the time.  Mitchell Freedland was the designer of 1408-1050 Burrard. We were in a bit of a buyers market at the time and we needed a way to get people through our door to see what we had to offer. We charged a small fee to come to see the suites and gave all the money to Charity. It was a great success and Wall Centre sold well, considering the market trends of the time, similiar to todays market, in my opinion.

So back to the suite...Originally a two bedroom condo, Mitchell Freedland took out the second bedroom and the bathtub from the main bathroom, to open up the entire space. Hardwood floor runs on a diagonal through the space giving it great lines and making it the perfect entertainers suite. With floor to ceiling windows in all the rooms, the view is outstanding. Overlooking the gorgeous courtyard that the residence tower shares with the Sheraton Wall Centre hotel, and beyond to the two heritage churches on the corner of Nelson and Burrard. At 1006 square feet this executive one bedroom really has a personality. Not just another cookie cutter unit as we see so much in downtown Vancouver.

The master bedroom also enjoys this view and is so pretty at night, when all the twinkle lights are sparkling on the trees in the courtyard.
