As part of a series of tours internationally, architect of THE ARC Vancouver, Walter Francl, and Grant Murray, Vice-President at Concord Pacific Developments Inc., from Canada, will be presenting on Vancouver's next generation of urban development featuring the marquee ARC Vancouver building.

"The False Creek Central neighbourhood is where everything Vancouver comes together," communicates Murray. "It is the only neighbourhood in the city connected to the waterfront, parkland, historic Yaletown, entertainment infrastructure and is part of over a billion-dollar community already underway. We are honoured to have been asked to present on the history of these neighbourhoods and what make THE ARC so special."

Murray continued, "We challenged Walter Francl Architects to create an internationally recognized building and start a new era of Vancouverism with THE ARC. We wanted to test the bounds of engineering with a statement amenity (Sky Club) and achieved this with a grand span connecting two building massing highlighted with a glass bottom pool elevated nearly 200 ft above the public realm. The building had to be a world example of architectural excellence while elevated in liveability and future proofed further than any development we have ever done. These are concepts that have never before been fully realized in a residential high-rise. "

"I have been involved with planning and designing the Concord Pacific Place community for over 20 years on a variety of institutional, mixed use and residential developments within it," Walter Francl explained. False Creek Central is Vancouver's most significant neighbourhood and THE ARC is the most important piece. I was very excited to get the call to work on Concord's crowning jewel as it is intended to define a new template for their future buildings and communities"
