Description

Perched on the coveted NW comer of the sub-penthouse level, this home at Meccanica offers space, light and design pedigree rarely found in Olympic Village. Industrial-cool architecture meets refined interiors; over-height ceilings and A/C set an elevated tone. Cross-suite bedrooms ensure privacy; the primary easily fits a king bed and features a spa ensuite with soaker tub, walk-in shower and double vanity. The well proportioned living room flows to a true dining area, ideal for entertaining or family life. Floors were just refinished. Built by Cressey, celebrated for the signature Cressey Kitchen and 55+ years of quality craftsmanship, and designed by Rafii Architects, this home sits steps from the Seawall, Main Street and Olympic Village's best cafes, shops and transit.

Transit

5 stop(s) within 800m

How this is calculated

Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.

Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.

Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.
