Archetype: A New Model for Mixed-Use Development in Vancouver

Innovative Integration of Living and Working Spaces

Archetype is a pioneering mixed-use development located at East 1st Avenue and Main Street in Vancouver's False Creek Flats. This project uniquely combines over 200 rental homes with creative industrial and AAA office spaces, fostering a dynamic environment for residents and businesses alike. The development is anchored by two mid-rise towers connected by an eight-storey residential building, all unified by ground-level industrial spaces that wrap around the entire complex.

Prime Location with Unmatched Connectivity

Situated in the heart of Vancouver's tech, arts, and creative communities, Archetype boasts exceptional proximity to major transit lines, including the Expo Line, Canada Line, and Millennium Line. Residents and tenants will benefit from a 98 Walk Score, 96 Bike Score, and 93 Transit Score, ensuring easy access to the city's amenities and services.

Thoughtfully Designed Residences

The residential component of Archetype offers over 200 rental homes, featuring spacious studio, one, two, and three-bedroom layouts designed for comfort and style. Residents will enjoy access to a private rooftop garden and interiors with top-grade finishes, creating an enriched living experience. Pre-leasing for these amenity-rich homes is set to begin in 2025.

Archetype provides 69,000 square feet of AAA office space, characterized by 11-foot-high ceilings and designed to LEED® Gold Core and Shell specifications. The office tower's striking architectural design includes vertical metal louvers, creating a sense of verticality and rhythm. Additionally, the development offers over 35,000 square feet of creative industrial space, ideal for designers and manufacturers seeking to engage with the surrounding community.
