Building Overview
One of Coal Harbour's most recognizable waterfront addresses.
Rogers Tower, formerly known as Shaw Tower, occupies a prominent position at 1077 West Cordova Street beside the Coal Harbour waterfront and Vancouver Convention Centre precinct. Its residential component sits above the commercial levels, giving many homes elevated outlooks across Coal Harbour, the North Shore mountains, Stanley Park and the downtown skyline.
Residence value here is highly individual. Floor height, exposure, floorplan, renovation quality, parking, privacy and view preservation can create meaningful differences between homes that may appear similar on paper.
Our Perspective
“At Rogers Tower, the strongest residences combine scale, protected outlooks, privacy and a floorplan that makes full use of the building's extraordinary waterfront position.”

Why Buyers Consider Rogers Tower
Scale, views, location and an established luxury profile.
Rogers Tower appeals to buyers who want a substantial downtown residence with strong waterfront positioning and immediate access to both Coal Harbour and Vancouver's business core.
02 / RESIDENCE SCALE
Larger luxury floorplans
Many buyers are drawn to Rogers Tower because the residential offering includes substantial homes suitable for full-time living rather than only compact downtown pied-à-terre use.
03 / OUTLOOKS
Harbour, mountain and city views
Depending on floor and orientation, residences may enjoy expansive views toward Coal Harbour, Stanley Park, the North Shore mountains and Vancouver's skyline.
04 / LOCATION
Waterfront and business district access
The address works particularly well for buyers who want the lifestyle of Coal Harbour while remaining closely connected to downtown offices, restaurants and luxury hotels.
05 / PRIVACY
Elevated residential living
The residential component is positioned above the tower's commercial floors, creating a distinct sense of separation from the activity at street level.
06 / VALUE
Residence-specific pricing
At this level of the market, buyers should compare individual homes carefully. Renovation quality, outlook, parking and layout can matter as much as price per square foot.
03
Original Design & Specifications
Purpose-built details that helped establish Rogers Tower as a Coal Harbour landmark.
The original Shaw Tower specifications reveal a level of architectural, structural and interior detailing that remains relevant when understanding the building today. Rather than listing every original feature, these are the elements that matter most to buyers evaluating the quality of the tower.
01 / ARCHITECTURE
James K.M. Cheng design
The tower was designed by James K.M. Cheng Architects as a slender, expressive form intended to maximize waterfront views and create a distinctive silhouette on Vancouver's skyline.
02 / STRUCTURE
Reinforced concrete construction
The original specifications describe durable reinforced-concrete construction with post-tensioned flat-plate floors designed to reduce interior columns and create more open residential spaces.
03 / ACOUSTICS
Substantial floor assemblies
Extra-thick residential floor slabs were specified to help reduce low-frequency floor-to-floor noise, an important consideration in a luxury high-rise residence.
04 / ENVELOPE
High-performance curtain wall
The residential tower was designed with a fully tested commercial curtain-wall system, insulated glazing and Low-E coating, combining expansive glass with performance appropriate for a waterfront high-rise.
05 / ENGINEERING
Wind-tunnel tested
The original structural design included specialized wind-tunnel studies using models of the tower and surrounding buildings, helping inform performance in Vancouver's waterfront conditions.
06 / INTERIORS
Robert M. Ledingham interiors
Residential interiors were originally designed by Robert M. Ledingham Inc., with overheight details, stone finishes and a sophisticated material palette appropriate to the building's luxury positioning.

Residence Profile
What separates one Rogers Tower residence from another?

Lobby, Amenities & Arrival
A residential arrival designed to feel distinct from the commercial tower.
One of the more notable details in the original specifications is the separation of the residential lobby from the main office lobby. The residential arrival was conceived with a dramatic 27-foot ceiling, an 18-foot water wall finished in split-faced basalt, an oversized fireplace, koi elements, designer furnishings and layered stone, wood, glass and onyx finishes.
The original amenity program also included a private screening room, executive meeting spaces and an approximately 3,900-square-foot health club with fitness, steam, massage, changing and locker facilities. These elements help explain why the building was positioned from the outset as a full-service luxury residence, not simply a collection of homes above an office tower.
