Yaletown · Vancouver
A one-bedroom home with a den in West One, the 2002 concrete tower on the Yaletown seawall: 583 square feet on MLS®, a west-facing corner of glass over False Creek and David Lam Park, a covered balcony, one parking stall, and Club Viva’s pool, gym, squash court and theatre downstairs.
The home
West One stands at the foot of Yaletown where Strathmore Mews meets the seawall, with David Lam Park on one side of it, George Wainborn Park on the other, and Yaletown–Roundhouse station four hundred metres up the hill. It is a concrete tower of 2002, 47 storeys and 246 homes on MLS®, with Club Viva at its base: an indoor pool and hot tub, a steam room, a fitness centre, a squash court, a theatre, a television room, a party room and a lounge, guest suites and a concierge around the clock — the amenities MLS® lists, and the ones we have photographed below. This home is unit 3005, high on the west side of the tower.
The living room, 15′2″ by 12′1″ on MLS®, ends in a corner of floor-to-ceiling glass that looks west and down: over the balcony to False Creek, the seawall and David Lam Park, and across to the towers of Yaletown. The dining table sits in the glass corner under a rattan pendant; the balcony, covered, opens off the living room. The kitchen, 8′0″ by 7′7″, is a galley by the door with black granite counters, a blue tile backsplash, a stainless fridge, dishwasher and gas range, and a window at its end.
The bedroom, 10′3″ by 12′4″, has the same wall of glass and the same view. The den, 4′1″ by 7′1″ — MLS® calls it a study, and the listing “den/storage” — opens off the foyer, as do the bathroom with its tub and the closet with the stacked washer and dryer. Laminate and tile floors, electric baseboard heat, per MLS®. One parking stall in the garage below comes with the home; MLS® lists no locker.
The home is lived in, and it was photographed as it is lived in. Three of the photographs below are edited and labelled on the image: two of the bedroom with the furniture and belongings removed in the edit, so that the room itself can be seen, and one of the bathroom with a face in a framed family photograph blurred.
MLS® records a monthly strata fee of $371.71, covering the caretaker, garbage, gardening, gas, hot water, management, the recreation facility and snow removal, with Rancho as the management company; two pets with restrictions; rentals allowed, though not for terms under a year.

Inside
18 photographs
The living room and the bedroom share the west wall of glass; the dining table sits in the corner of it. The galley kitchen, the den, the bathroom and the laundry closet are grouped at the door.
The view
5 photographs
From the balcony: the water of False Creek, the seawall and the lawns of David Lam Park directly below, the towers of Yaletown alongside, and the mountains on the skyline on a clear day. MLS® lists the view as city and water.
The building
16 photographs
A concrete tower of 2002 on the seawall, with a lobby and concierge at the base and Club Viva beside it: an indoor pool and hot tub, a gym, a squash court, a theatre, a television room, a party room and a lounge. These are our own photographs of West One from earlier visits.
Location
These are straight-line distances from the building to each place, measured from the Province of British Columbia’s own address coordinates for 1408 Strathmore Mews, and they are not walking or driving times; the water is between here and Granville Island. Nothing here is a statement about schools or school catchments. The Vancouver School Board sets those and changes them, so ask the Board directly. Yaletown is the name MLS® uses; the City of Vancouver’s local area is Downtown, and the parks are the City’s.
