Pacific Granite's Exterior Limestone at King's Landing, in Yaletown
King's Landing, a stunning waterfront development in Yaletown, Vancouver, Canada, has become a landmark of luxury and prestige in the city. Comprising three towers with a total of 370 units, the development is known for its prime location, unparalleled views of False Creek and the city skyline, and of course, its high-quality exterior cladding.
At Pacific Granite, we're proud to have played a significant role in creating the striking exterior of Concord Pacific’s King's Landing. In this blog post, we'll take a closer look at the limestone cladding that we supplied and installed for this prestigious development.
Limestone is a beautiful natural stone that has been used in architecture for centuries. Its subtle color variations and unique texture make it a popular choice for high-end projects. One of the most notable features of the limestone cladding at King's Landing is the intricate design that was used to create a dynamic and visually stunning exterior. Panels were hone-finished and required meticulous planning and precise installation techniques. Our team of skilled craftsmen used a combination of sawing, cutting, and polishing methods to ensure that each panel fit perfectly and seamlessly with the others.
The limestone used at King's Landing was sourced from a quarry in Germany and has a warm beige hue with occasional fossil and veining details.
The limestone panels, which are 3cm thick, were installed using a mechanical anchoring system that provides maximum support and stability. And, the anchoring system includes stainless steel anchors and clips that are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and moderate seismic activity, making it a safe and reliable solution for high-rise buildings like King's Landing.
The use of limestone for the cladding at King's Landing is a testament to the developer's commitment to quality and durability.
Limestone is a durable material that is resistant to weathering, erosion, and other environmental factors, making it an ideal choice for exterior cladding that needs to withstand the test of time.
In conclusion, the limestone cladding at King's Landing is a shining example of Pacific Granite's expertise in high-quality natural stone cladding. Our team's commitment to precision and attention to detail has resulted in a visually stunning exterior that complements the luxurious and sophisticated design of the development. King's Landing, with its prime location and world-class amenities, is a true gem in Vancouver's real estate landscape, and we're proud to have been a part of it.
