Our Philosophy - Westbank Living

Our Philosophy

We created Westbank Living because we see the need for homes, that can respond in a short amount of time to our city’s changing needs. Homes that recognize the transition of our housing market led by the growth of the creative economy. What we are offering is more than a typical rental project, we have created beautiful, living spaces for lease. These homes are pet-friendly, with exceptional amenities and offer flexible lease terms.

Today, our portfolio has grown to include several projects in Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary and Seattle, with plans for further expansion. Mirvish Village in Toronto will be a 100% tenanted community that will bring over 800 new homes to the historic Honest Ed’s site at Bloor and Bathurst. Our three current Creative Living Space projects open in Vancouver include Zephyr in the West End, Vancouver House in the Beach District and in the heart of Gastown Blood Alley. In Calgary we have created Sky, Creative Living Space for short or long-term stays. In Seattle, we are creating two towers of Creative Living Spaces at 1200 Stewart that will anchor an over 1.2 million square foot, mixed-use project that will form a new community hub for the area.

Our homes range from large-scale, mixed-use communities, to smaller scale towers and flexible, short-term homes, but each are created in recognition that the homes we build must be capable of adapting to society’s changing needs, as we rethink the way we live and the spaces we live within.

Welcome to Westbank Living.

Westbank Living is founded on three principles
  1. We have always created homes based on the belief that the future of living is in our vibrant, cultural city centres. Today, we see the strongest demand for housing in these centres increasingly taking the form of high-quality, well-located and exceptionally designed homes for lease.

  2. We believe that leasing a home is not and should not be seen as a lesser alternative to home ownership. Our Creative Living Spaces will support a more adaptive, flexible economy and presents an ideal form of home, for an increasingly mobile, globalized way of life.

  3. What sets Westbank apart is that regardless of the type of home we are creating, we believe that quality of design should never be sacrificed. Each of our projects exemplify high degree of artistry, design excellence and our commitment to the creation of beautiful, quality homes. Our Creative Living Space maintains this same standard.

"WESTBANK HAS BUILT A PRACTICE AROUND LONG-TERM COMMITMENTS TO ARTISTRY, SUSTAINABILITY AND CITY-BUILDING."
