Atrium At The Pier Condos - Lower Lonsdale, North Vancouver, B.C.

Atrium at the Pier is one of the latest condo developments in Lower Lonsdale, North Vancouver.  What's so exciting about this new complex?  Why, the location, of course!

Atrium at the Pier is situated right down by the ocean in Lower Lonsdale, where the former Burrard Dry Docks used to be located.  Established in 1905, this is where ship building once took place, including war ships built and refitted during the First & Second World Wars.  The land has since been reclaimed, and is being developped for locals and visitors alike to enjoy.  This is where urban meets industrial chic.  An old ship's hull acts as a sculpture and reminder of this land's former industrial and industrious use.  You can also find a giant ship's propellor. 

Atrium at the Pier is actually two towers, located at 162 and 172 Victory Ship Way.  Don't you love that street name?!  They are referred to as low-mid highrises, as the towers are only 12 and 13 stories high. These condos are high end and have lovely finishes, including granite countertops, crown molding, fireplaces, air conditioning (quite rare in Lower Lonsdale condos), high end European appliances, glass walk-in showers, porceline floors with an option to change to hardwood, and the list goes on...

Right next door to the Atrium at the Pier is the luxurious Pinnacle HotelOwners at the Atrium have access to the amenities at the Pinnacle Hotel, including the use of an 80 foot pool and fitness centre.  Imagine walking next door to the Pinnacle Hotel and enjoying one of their lovely Sunday brunches, or catching a drink and appies in the Lobby Restaurant. Just a hop, skip and jump away is Lonsdale Quay Market, where you can shop daily for fresh, organic produce, or grab a latte and sit on the deck, watching the tug boats sail by.  This has been developped as a very pedestrian friendly area, and your downtown job is only a 15 minute seabus ride away.  No more traffic jams or being stuck on the Lion's Gate Bridge!

One of my favourite attractions near the Atrium at the Pier is the brand new restaurant and bar, Pier 7.  I just had lunch there not too long ago, so I can tell you first hand, that you cannot, I repeat cannot get a better sea view than right here.  There are several outdoor decks, as well as an upper deck, all overlooking the ocean and the downtown cityscape beyond.  Granville Island - eat your heart out!  The service is extremely friendly and helpful, and the food is pretty good, too.

As a home stager and designer, I have been fortunate to design two condos at the Atrium at the Pier for two different clients.  In both cases, the clients had just sold their respective homes, which my company, Exit Stage Right home staging had staged for sale.  When the clients purchased their new condos at the Atrium at the Pier, they called me in to design their new space, as they loved how we were able to transform their original homes for sale.  To me, this is a great honour and compliment. 

If you are looking to sell your home and are interested in having it staged, please don't hesitate to call us.  If you are moving into a new home, we'd love to help set you up in your new home and help you come up with a new colour scheme and furniture plan to make your new home the dream home you've always desired.

The supreme compliment is getting called to design two condos at the Atrium At The Pier Condos after you've staged their homes and they both sold.  Very cool Sally.  Love the location and all it has to offer, especially urban meets industrial chic.

Roger - You'd love this area.  When are you coming up so we can sit on the deck at Pier 7 and share an "adult beverage"?!!

Valerie - Sadly, receiving very little snow and no Arctic temperatures in the winter does come at a price...  The grass is always greener, though.  I really envy you Easterners your lovely, Upper Canada buildings, steeped in history and culture.

Sally - What do they always say about buying a home, condo, townhouse, ect? Location, location location! Atrium at the Pier in Lower Lonsdale, North Vancouver has a stunning view and I love "urban meets industrial chic" The Atrium is definitely a happening place! Congratulations on doing such an impressive job staging your client's prior address they hired you to design their new condos at the Atrium - that's the highest compliment one can receive!

Sally, this looks like it would be an exciting place to live simply by the location, but the extra benefit of being able to use the hotel amenities would be a real bonus. I like that it's a pedestrian friendly area too, I could park my car for days without having to fight the traffic all the while relaxing by the pool and eating at good restaurants. (Then I'd run out of money and have to go back to work).

What a fabulous lifestyle you present here!  Someday, when my "ship comes in" (couldn't resist) maybe I could have a second home at the Atrium!

Kristine - You are so right.  Location, location, location, and the Atrium at the Pier has this in the bag!  It was so fun re-designing my former staging clients' properties.  The nice thing is I was able to get to know them through the whole staging process, so it was like working for old friends.  Such a nice experience.

Malcolm - Once again, you have me in stitches!  For anyone looking for a layed back west coast lifestyle, this is the place.  However, you're right.  It does come at a price.  Good thing the downtown financial district is only a 15 minute sea bus ride away!

Sharon - Ok, between you and Malcolm, my sides are hurting from laughing so hard!  When your "ship does come in" and you move here, phone me and we'll grab some lunch at Pier 7!!!

Hi Sally ~ What a fun, vibrant area Lower Lonsdale is!  Based on your recommendation, I'd like Pier 7 for sure.  What do condos at Atrium at the Pier go for?

Hey Sally-I hope you are enjoying your summer so far. Congrats on this gig! Nothing I like better than seeing redeveloped waterfront that people can live in and enjoy:)

Marco - The summer is great now that the sun has actually decided to shine!  We had a very rainy, cold June.  I couldn't agree more.  I'm so happy they've redevelopped this waterfront.  It's becoming a very popular destination, and people are really enjoying the pedestrian aspect.
