It’s a western reflection of eastern influences, an enchanted place that’s poised to redefine the intersection between work, lifestyle and art. It’s the best of all worlds.

Introducing Marco Polo by Gryphon, an 11-storey, mixed-use community on Cambie Street at 49th Avenue. When completed in late 2027, Marco Polo will provide a forward-looking workplace model that seamlessly combines the best of traditional offices, ground-floor retail, a private club with co-working spaces and wellness amenities with three levels of opulent residences, all within a single development.

One key differentiator that’s causing a whirlwind of excitement within the medical community is Marco Polo’s three levels of premium offices that will be medical-use ready, including independent water/sewer lines. That’s good news for tenants of many of the aging medical buildings in the Oakridge District.

Bringing lifestyle to work

Driven by Gryphon’s deep commitment to respond to the evolving needs of sophisticated business professionals, Marco Polo’s 10,000-sq.-ft. The Curator Club is something fresh and dynamic in Vancouver. Designed specifically to foster collaboration and ingenuity, The Curator Club will provide a wide range of amenities and services. From traditional offerings such as a lounge, casual workspaces and a fitness centre with yoga and Pilates rooms, to cutting-edge features that include content creator rooms, a communal kitchen and a double-height atrium space, every detail is curated to answer not the question “Why?” but rather “Why not?”

“People are now prioritizing wellness, especially with all the changes brought about by the pandemic,” says Jason Hsu, Gryphon’s CEO. “Employees are increasingly seeking a work-life balance that emphasizes health and flexibility. Offices with amenities are now experiencing 12 per cent higher demand than those without. At Marco Polo, a trip to the office becomes an extension of your everyday lifestyle.”

Enviable location

Poised to become the new downtown, Oakridge is a neighbourhood that can lay claim to being at the centre of everything. Education at all levels, including Langara College and the highly sought-after International Baccalaureate Programme at Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School, are close at hand.

SkyTrain connection to Vancouver’s business district and the Vancouver International Airport are right across the street, and the future R4 RapidBus connecting to UBC and Metrotown will be right outside the front door. There’s also an abundance of parking stalls—more than a 1:1 ratio. It’s a new level of convenience no matter where you want to go or how you want to get there.

Parks and greenspaces, too, are within easy strolling distance. Tisdall Park is around the corner, the lush greenery of the Langara Golf Course just down the street, and Queen Elizabeth Park with its spectacular views and fragrant rose garden is a short drive to the north along the Cambie Corridor.

Live connected

“Marco Polo seamlessly blends elements from East and West to create a unique and luxurious space,” says Sarah Ou Yang, principal and creative director of CLVR Studio. “The Curator Club’s social areas are designed like a hotel, where people can make connections and unwind, while features like meeting rooms and content creation rooms are spaces for collaboration that make big ideas come to life.”

Marco Polo offers 198 AAA strata offices, 13 retails spaces, and 45 residential units. Commercial and retail units are now pre-selling. The Marco Polo presentation centre is open by appointment only at 2762 Granville Street. Information about residential suites will be announced next year.
