An Italian name on a Pacific skyline

Named for Florence.
Built for Vancouver.

Firenze borrows its name from the Renaissance city of stone, light, and long views. Tower II answers in glass and concrete — thirty-one storeys rising over Abbott Street, where the downtown grid gives way to the brick of Gastown and the lanterns of Chinatown. Below the residences sits a landscaped podium garden; within, a twenty-five-metre pool and the quiet of a well-built home.
