Building for life.
Langley roots.

Since 1985, Marcon has been acquiring, developing, building and managing properties across Metro Vancouver.

Over the past four decades, Marcon has built a practice around a relentless pursuit of quality. This pursuit, along with the relationships we’ve built and the values that distinguish us, has allowed us to evolve into one of BC’s best performing development and construction companies. What makes the evolution of our condo business interesting is that we are far more focused on making meaningful contributions in a handful of communities. From our Langley roots, to our legacy in Burquitlam, our passion to set a higher standard for quality has shaped the evolution of neighbourhoods across the region.

102 Avenue + City Parkway is Marcon’s first development in Surrey City Centre. The project embodies our intentions, revealing a great deal about the DNA of our company: landing our practice in Surrey, establishing our vision for the project, and participating in the build-out of Surrey’s Central Downtown District.

Surrey City Centre is an opportunity to participate in real city building.

White Rock, 2021

Located on the crest of a dramatic hilltop in central White Rock with the Straight of Georgia ever-present, this site can experience significant winds at times throughout the year, demanding a response that respects both the urban context and seasonal wind power of this natural setting.

While effects of construction on the environment are often approached from the inside-out, Wind-Shaped Tower looks from the outside–in to minimize effects of wind patterns: The building form undulates to respond to wind distribution, while its prow-like stern cuts into the predominant southwestern wind to reduce downwash and acceleration.

Expressed in soft lines and curvilinear shapes, the form undulates to respond to seasonal wind distribution. The bent slab block form features a prow-like stern that faces into the frequent southwestern wind. This acute windward angle aids in the reduction of wind downwash and acceleration. A protected cove in the building’s inner-boomerang provides a residential courtyard garden sheltered from prevailing sea winds.

The building’s façade is articulated with a shingled expression, similar to fish scales. Deliberately placed, the protruding frame-like fins further mitigate wind acceleration and downwash effects. The result is a building that minimizes effect on wind patterns: wind conditions for pedestrians remain similar to those that existed prior to building.

The project proposes a “west-coast marine” material palette including wood veneer metal panels, white painted architectural concrete and high efficiency glazing. The materials proposed express an aesthetic path between urban and nature dialectic, connecting to the unique context of White Rock as an ocean-side urban centre.

567 Clarke + Como,
Coquitlam, 2022

Rising from the highest point in West Coquitlam, 567 soars 49-storeys above the streets below – a new landmark as Coquitlam’s tallest tower.

Located in Coquitlam's Coquitlam West neighbourhood, and inspired by the converging angles of the streets below, the slim, the angular tower of 567 Clarke + Como is a sculptural expression in concrete and glass.

When the composition is viewed together a strong vertical glazed expression meets the horizontally glazed amenity, shifts fully to the opposite side of the tower where it culminates in a “lantern” form which has been integrated into the penthouse of the tower composition. Two types of glazing are employed to enhance this effect.

The corner vertical, amenity horizontal elements, and sky “lantern” in a flatter plane expressed glazing. When viewed in rotation, the different patterned compositions change creating a sculptural effect in the tower form. The total composition is a clean yet powerful expressive quality which is the hallmark of contemporary high tower design.

The commercial frontages have been designed in a composition of frames, planes, andglazing arranged in varying heights along street frontages. A steel supported canopy system integrated withthe commercial canopy system provides continuous louvered coverage throughout the site,knitting the public realm together.

Mirabel
Vancouver, 2023

Situated on the hillcrest overlooking English Bay, Mirabel was designed to highlight the dramatic sightlines to the West and the South.

The West End is a neighbourhood with personality and celebration, located close to cafes, bistros, parks and Vancouver’s seawall. Beautiful, old oak trees line the streets, and a short walk brings you to sandy beaches.

Envisioned by Canadian architect Richard Henriquez, Mirabel was inspired by the shape of a ship's bow. The extensive balconies were crafted for year-round indoor-outdoor living and close connection to English Bay.

Building upon his legacy in Vancouver’s West End, one that includes notable projects such as Sylvia Tower & Eugenia Place, the architecture at Mirabel is unabashedly playful, the balcony glazing reflects its proximity to the bay, and the integration of limestone gives the project an appropriate character for this area in the West End.

Tailor
Burnaby, 2024

Designed by Shift Architecture, Tailor is a sleek, twenty-seven storey tower with a sculpted base. Set back from the corner of Alpha and Alaska, Tailor is tucked away from the bustle of Brentwood Station.

The project’s public art, ‘Wind Veil’ by Catherine Widgery brings to our attention the universal patterns that surround us; how light and wind interact constantly with surfaces and animate our world with a delicate wonder.

The concept at Tailor is light and airy — the result of a lobby with forty-foot ceilings which doubles as a canvas for ‘wind veil’ along with 9’ ceilings on each floor, smart glass windows and open layouts which incorporate the abundance of natural light.

Designed with a modernist aesthetic, residents enjoy urban amenities with extensive millwork details designed to enhance daily living.
