About the Building
Escala is a large established luxury high-rise at 1920 4th Avenue in the Downtown core, known for generously sized residences and an amenity floor that is bigger than most buildings of its vintage attempt.
Shared space includes 24/7 concierge, indoor pools, a hot tub, steam room, fitness center and spa, event space, a screening room, wine storage, a rooftop terrace, secure parking, storage and bike storage with a car wash. The trade-off buyers weigh here is scale and amenity depth against the newer glass of more recent towers.
Residence Character
- Floor plans run large, so evaluate the layout against how you would actually use the space.
- The amenity floor is a real part of the value here; walk it before deciding.
- Confirm which parking stall and storage unit convey with a specific residence.
