About the Building
First Light is the newer, design-forward tower on this list, developed by Westbank with architecture by James K.M. Cheng at 300 Virginia Street. Its reputation rests on the architecture and on a rooftop amenity level that is treated as the social center of the building rather than an afterthought.
Shared space includes 24/7 concierge, a lobby art gallery, a bike clubhouse, car share, a large fitness center and yoga space, a wraparound wellness terrace, a pet play area, and a rooftop level with a 25-meter lap pool, hot tubs, a fire pit, a lounge and a greenhouse garden.
Residence Character
- This is a contemporary building, so expect current-generation glass, systems and finishes rather than an early-2000s package.
- Because the amenity level is on the roof, floor placement affects daily convenience less than it affects view.
- Confirm what parking and storage convey with a specific residence rather than assuming the building standard.

No Rental Cap ≠ Short-Term Rental
