The Salient Group's 21 Doors in the Vancouver Sun

The Salient Group’s 21 Doors was profiled recently in the Vancouver Sun WestCoast Homes section, highlighting the features that set 21 Doors apart from most Vancouver condo projects.

Here’s a short quote from the article:

In short, while the Salient Group boasts a decade-long record of widely admired renovation and restoration elsewhere in Gastown and the city, Fung approached even this modest-sized project as a one-of-a-kind — and with uncommon attention.

“We’re providing cost-effective suites with a high level of design,” he says of the work by building envelope specialists RDH Engineering and Taylor Kurtz Architecture & Design, both of Vancouver. “These are good, thoughtful spaces that make sense.”

If you’re not a coffee nerd, don’t fret — the guys behind the bar are happy to explain your different options.
