Located at 64th and Oak, this new development by Ulmus Development offers a blend of striking architecture, innovative environmental features, and premium amenities, making it a prime destination for those seeking upscale living in one of Vancouver’s most desirable neighbourhoods.

Strategic Location on Vancouver’s West Side

Ōku’s central location on Vancouver’s West Side provides the perfect balance of urban convenience and tranquil residential living. Ōku offers unparalleled access to amenities. Located between Granville and Cambie Streets, the development is within walking distance of shops, restaurants, theatres, and the Marine Drive SkyTrain station.

Innovative Sustainable Design

Ōku’s architecture pushes the boundaries of sustainable living, offering a zero-emission design that reflects Ulmus Development’s commitment to environmental responsibility. 

The development incorporates advanced Variable Refrigerant Flow air conditioning technology, providing quiet and efficient heating or cooling while reducing energy consumption. Individual home energy and water metering ensures fair distribution of costs and promotes conservation, allowing residents to monitor their usage and reduce their environmental footprint.

The building’s high-performance exterior walls are designed to minimize heating and cooling needs, lowering utility costs and reducing noise pollution. 

Additionally, Ōku integrates an advanced stormwater management system, which controls water flow and improves the quality of water entering nearby ecosystems, further demonstrating the development’s commitment to sustainability.

The sleek, modern multi-story apartment building, Oku Towers, boasts large glass balconies set against a clear sky.

Quality Interiors

The interiors at Ōku offer the finest in modern living. Wide plank, engineered hardwood flooring sets the tone for luxury throughout the suites, while recessed downlighting highlights key areas and creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interiors with natural light, and custom roller shades allow residents to adjust the ambiance to their liking.

European tilt and turn windows provide energy efficiency and elegance, while solid-core doors and laundry closet soundproofing ensure that peace and quiet are part of the daily living experience. Closet spaces come equipped with solid-core shelving, adding a refined touch to storage solutions. Every detail has been carefully considered to create homes that are as comfortable as they are beautiful.

The available configurations include one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units, as well as select three-and-a-half-bedroom layouts. Each suite is designed to maximize space with open-concept living areas, and many offer private balconies or terraces for outdoor relaxation.

For those seeking a larger living space, Ōku’s townhomes provide an attractive option, combining the benefits of a house with the convenience of condominium living. These homes come with the same luxurious finishes and smart home features as the suites, ensuring a seamless experience throughout the community.

For professionals and entrepreneurs, Ōku’s co-working spaces provide an ideal environment to focus or collaborate. With a formal conference table equipped with A/V technology and a more casual café-style seating area, this space is perfect for both individual work and group meetings. Ample natural light and numerous power outlets enhance productivity, making it a practical extension of home.

Ōku’s entertainment lounge is designed with socializing in mind. Featuring low seating, a large TV, and a kitchenette, it provides a welcoming environment for gatherings.
