APT is the next step in the evolution of this 12-storey Vancouver tower. Having previously operated as a retirement home, a bed & breakfast, and a short-term rental apartment, the vision for APT is to bring a modern concept of urban living to Vancouver.
The renovated building offers private micro-suites that contain kitchenettes, bathrooms and convertible sleeping / living rooms, while the main and lower floors provide common space to foster a sense of community. Among the amenities accessible to all tenants will be common lounge spaces, a common TV lounge, and a common gym / yoga space. Also available will be dining rooms, art studios, meeting rooms, and party rooms that tenants will reserve should they need space to entertain guests.
