The Grace Villas are part of the phase 1 Grace development by James Schouw and Associates (http://www.jamesschouw.com/). This development team started with a beautiful concept of something unique, special and with European flair. In 2004 the phase one project was completed and instantly recognized. Described by the developer as an "Intimate boutique development". The level and detail and attention to design has not been replicated to this day in Downtown Vancouver. This unique building is known for its architecture, design, and pure beauty
When you enter through the large old-style steel gates after a biometric finger printed security door lock, lush gardens greet you through the narrow tall courtyard, everything adds to the experience as you start to notice the details: gargles, shrubs, fountains and manicured trees and green plants.
