The Hyland is mixed-use rental building located along Kingsway, a diagonal Vancouver arterial street that cuts through the grid of the City and creates a series of flatiron lots. The corner of the building is emphasized with a six-story element that incorporates a soft curve to address the intersection while creating more functional unit layouts. Upper level step-backs were a response to City Guidelines, and are clad with lighter coloured materials to contrast with the darker, warm tones of the brick base.
