The Butterfly by Westbank may be the most beautiful residential tower in downtown Vancouver to date.

The project — scheduled for completion in 2023 — includes a 57-storey luxury condominium tower, and the heritage restoration, seismic upgrading and expansion of one of Vancouver’s most historic places of worship, the First Baptist Church, built in 1911.

The Butterfly consists of:

a new 37-space daycare facility
new administrative offices for the First Baptist church
a seven-storey social housing building with 61 units
