Sterling rises on Smithe Street in downtown Vancouver, a 2005 tower with a fitness centre, a sauna, steam room, and hot tub, and secure gated parking. The central location keeps the city at the doorstep: Robson Street's shopping, the Vancouver Art Gallery, and Yaletown's restaurants are a short walk, the financial district is nearby, and Vancouver City Centre SkyTrain station links across the region.

About Downtown

Downtown is the central business and commercial core of the city, the dense peninsula bounded by Burrard Inlet, False Creek, and Burrard Street. It blends the financial district along Burrard and West Georgia with the Granville Street entertainment strip's theatres and nightlife, the Pacific Centre and Robson Street shopping, and the Vancouver Art Gallery and central library at its heart. Living here means everything is at street level and most of it is walkable - groceries, dining, services, and shops a few steps away in every direction. Transit is unmatched: the Burrard, Granville, Vancouver City Centre, and Waterfront stations put the whole region, the SeaBus, and the airport within easy reach without a car.
