What kind of condo could cost $16.9 million?
In this case, it's a penthouse at the top of West Pender Place, the 36 story tower at 1499 West Pender St., just a block away from the Coal Harbour marina.
With three bedrooms and four bathrooms, it's more like a standalone house on the top of a very tall pedestal. The 3,646 square foot interior and 3,200 square foot outdoor area mean lots of living space as the entire top floor is part of the condo. It's actually more like two floors as much of the outdoor area is on the roof above the main living space.
That also means 360-degree views, which are perhaps the biggest highlight. From that height Lions Gate Bridge, Stanley Park and the Burrard Inlet are laid out below.
The outdoor area includes a hot tub with views over the city's west end out to the Salish Sea.
The interior has a bright, open layout (at that height there aren't any neighbours glancing in by accident) with lots of glass and windows.
The building also has some added luxuries, like a concierge, fitness area and pool.
