Azura II - 1495 Richards St

Azura II is a 38 storey concrete high rise in the heart of Yaletown's Beach District, completed by Concord Pacific in 2004. The 200 unit tower at 1495 Richards Street (also addressed as 503 to 515 Beach Crescent) anchors one of Vancouver's most coveted waterfront enclaves, where owners trade the noise of downtown for False Creek views and seawall access at their doorstep.The building offers a mix of one, two, and three bedroom condos across 38 floors, with view orientations across False Creek, downtown Vancouver, and the North Shore mountains. Azura II is part of Concord Pacific's signature Yaletown community, built to the developer's standards for finish, sound separation, and concrete construction quality.The amenity package is one of the most comprehensive in Yaletown. Residents have access to a 24/7 concierge, indoor swimming pool, hot tub, sauna and steam rooms, fully equipped fitness centre, squash court, billiards room, theatre, and meeting rooms. Owners also gain entry to the Super Club, a shared amenity facility connecting Azura II with neighbouring Concord Pacific buildings, offering an additional pool, gym, and entertaining spaces that punch well above what most Vancouver condo buildings deliver.Location is the headline feature. The Yaletown Roundhouse SkyTrain station is a five minute walk, putting downtown, Granville Island via the Aquabus, and the airport in reach without a car. The False Creek seawall starts at the building's south side and connects to David Lam Park, George Wainborn Park, and Sunset Beach, giving residents kilometres of continuous waterfront for walking, running, and cycling. Restaurants, cafes, boutique fitness studios, and the Yaletown wine and dining scene sit within a three block radius.For buyers, Azura II represents a rare combination of waterfront access, full service amenities, and Concord Pacific build quality. The building's central Yaletown location and amenity stack also drive consistent rental demand from downtown professionals. Whether you are searching for a primary residence, a downsizing option, or a long term rental hold, Azura II deserves serious consideration.
