Station Square / McKay
Grand Corniche I
Grand Corniche I is a 26-storey, 127-home concrete tower at 6240 McKay Avenue. Its warm beige exterior, rounded enclosed bay windows and balcony-free elevations give it a distinctive late-1980s / early-1990s Metrotown identity, while the absence of typical projecting balconies helps support unusually spacious interior layouts.
