First Look: Bosa’s 520 Condo Tower Coming to Downtown

The DJC has a sneak peek at Bosa’s tower 3rd and Cherry, Here’s Bosa’s Civic Square design, with 520 condos, retail and plazas:

Bosa’s preferred design is for a crescent-shaped tower on the east side of the block, closer to City Hall. Its curved facade would be oriented in a northwest direction, toward Third and Cherry. The 520 condo units would be on levels three through 55. Most units would have balconies or decks. Condos would range from one- to three-bedrooms, but sizes aren’t indicated. Tenants would enter mid-block on James, from the driveway.

Designed by Vancouver-based firm James K.M. Cheng Architects (who is also designing a 46-story residential tower at 2000 Third Ave. for Canadian developer Westbank), we rather like the look of this crescent-shaped tower. We certainly prefer it to the rather monolithic twin towers of Insignia :).
