At the corner of Drake and Seymour Streets, Élan is situated on the southern edge of downtown Vancouver’s Yaletown as you approach from the Granville Street Bridge. This project augments Vancouver’s heritage inventory through retention and restoration of the existing historic two-story Federal Motors Building.

Élan features a south-oriented courtyard between the Federal Motors Building and the tower, with stepped four-and-a-half story townhouses and a 300’ high 34-storey residential spire. The tower takes on a dramatic diagonal, allowing passage of a City View Cone across the Downtown.
