Located at the crossroads of the Granville Street Entertainment District and the Business District of Downtown Vancouver, 999 Seymour is an eye-catching 22-storey development with a mix of retail, office and residential uses. The south facade is energized with continuous bands of moveable solar screens and vibrant illuminated ribbons of green and blue glass. Deep balconies provide passive solar control and enhanced indoor and outdoor living. The north facade is clad with a triple-hued composition of anodized bronze panels.

999 Seymour artfully responds to the unique directionality conditions on each building aspect. Consideration of views, privacy, solar and neighbourliness—as well as the operable sun shading on the south facade—make the project both rational and livable.
