A building with a towering twist
Province
The Erickson, named for legendary architect Arthur Erickson, is located at the westernmost point of the Concord Pacific property at False Creek, and is intended as the crowning point of that master-planned community. Members of the media were recently given a tour of The Erickson, a twisting 17-storey tower of metal, glass, and limestone that is anchored by a horizontal line of townhouses. The oblong blocks that cap the second storey and march around the perimeter are reminiscent of designs created by the world-renowned architect, including Simon Fraser University and the Law Courts at Robson Square. All the suites were sold more than three years ago, except for the penthouse, a 10,000-square-foot unit has a private pool, lobby, and two-car garage.
