The Butterfly at 1033 Nelson Street:A landmark residential development that pairs architectural refinement with a deep respect for heritage and community. Inspired by themes of transformation and renewal, the project is designed to reflect the ever-changing natural world while fostering a sense of calm, connection, and awareness in everyday living. Abundant natural light, fresh air, expansive views, and thoughtfully selected materials are central to the experience, creating spaces that feel open, immersive, and intentionally designed to enhance both personal well-being and social interaction.Located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, this striking 600,000-square-foot mixed-use development by Westbank brings together a 57-storey luxury residential tower and the careful restoration and expansion of the historic First Baptist Church, originally constructed in 1911. The integration of modern architecture with one of the city’s oldest religious landmarks results in a development that bridges past and present while contributing meaningfully to the urban fabric.
Built to LEED Gold standards, The Butterfly prioritizes sustainability at every level. The project includes an on-site low-carbon district energy system and exceeds municipal benchmarks for energy efficiency, sustainable site planning, water conservation, stormwater management, waste reduction, green transportation, and access to nature. In addition, the development incorporates affordable housing and a wide range of amenities that support both residents and the surrounding community.
Inside the homes, the design emphasizes flow, flexibility, and uninterrupted sightlines. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and reflective finishes enhance daylight and views, creating a sense of openness throughout each suite. Innovative interior layouts use high-performance glazed partitions and soft fabric curtains to define spaces while maintaining privacy and acoustic comfort, allowing rooms to adapt easily as bedrooms, dens, or workspaces without sacrificing light or openness.Contact Jacky to book viewings at the Butterfly
