888 Beach 1 is the Garden Tower of the 888 Beach complex at 888 Beach Avenue, completed in 1993 in Vancouver's Beach District. The complex spans three buildings (888 Beach Avenue, 1500 Hornby Street, and 1501 Howe Street) and shares a common amenity package, but each tower is its own strata with a distinct address and street presence.
The Garden Tower at 888 Beach Avenue is the most intimate of the three buildings, with approximately 21 suites across eight levels. Floor plans range from one bedroom condos to larger two and three bedroom homes, with the lower levels stepping down toward the seawall to maximise garden access and water views.
Residents of 888 Beach 1 have full access to the complex's shared amenity package, which includes an indoor swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, fitness centre, and concierge service. The shared amenities are typical of mid 1990s premium Vancouver condo construction and remain well maintained.
Location is the headline. 888 Beach 1 sits directly on the False Creek seawall, with David Lam Park, Sunset Beach, and the Aquabus to Granville Island steps from the front door. Yaletown's restaurants and the Yaletown Roundhouse SkyTrain station are within an easy walk, and Burrard Bridge and the West End are equally close.
For buyers, 888 Beach 1 represents waterfront living in the heart of downtown without the price ceiling of newer luxury towers. For investors, the seawall location and amenity package consistently support rental demand. Whether you are a downsizer, a city primary residence buyer, or an investor seeking long term hold value, the Garden Tower at 888 Beach is worth a closer look.
