The Heights on Austin (East Tower)
High-rise 25-storey mixed-use tower in Coquitlam offering sweeping river and mountain views, with premium glazing, custom sunshades, glass canopies and podium storefronts by Sky Windows.
Elevated Living and Retail in Coquitlam’s Austin Heights
Perched atop a hill in the Austin Heights neighbourhood of Coquitlam, The Heights on Austin – East Tower rises 25 storeys to deliver a blend of residential, office, and retail space. Residents enjoy panoramic views of the Fraser River and Coast Mountains from every level. With a location at 1033 Austin Avenue, the development is part of a broader revitalization of the area, offering convenient access to amenities, retail, and transit while combining modern high-rise living with neighbourhood character.
The Scope
The glazing and exterior-glass scope assigned to Sky Windows covered a comprehensive package: custom extruded large projection sunshades (with a woodgrain finish), full-height spider-glass canopies wrapping the building, stick-built curtain walls for the Level 1 and 2 podiums, commercial-grade aluminum doors for retail units, and glass doors for residential lobby entries. This work required careful integration with the tower’s architectural vision, combining a contemporary aesthetic with durable, high-performance envelope components, while accommodating mixed-use demands (residential, retail, offices) and ensuring durability and longevity in a coastal climate.
The Outcome
The East Tower portion of The Heights on Austin was completed in July 2024. The glazing and facade systems delivered by Sky Windows contributed to a high-quality building envelope that supports both visual appeal and functional performance. The result is a modern, mixed-use high-rise that provides residents with elevated living and views, retail and office amenities at podium levels, and a strong architectural presence in the Austin Heights community, aligning with the broader vision of urban revitalization in Coquitlam.
