We created Westbank Living because we see the need for homes that are inspiring and that embody a high degree of artistry. Homes that recognize the transformation of our society led by the growth of the creative economy, that respond to our changing needs. The rental projects we are creating are being constructed as long-term commitments to the cities in which we practice. They each display the same degree of artistry that goes into all our work. What we are offering is more than a typical rental project, we have created beautiful, creative living spaces for lease. Our homes are pet friendly, in world-class locations with exceptional amenities and while each is unique, they share the commitment to artistry and design that sets Westbank Living apart. https://living.westbankcorp.com
