Trapp + Holbrook at 668 Columbia Street is a striking mixed-use high-rise that seamlessly blends contemporary design with the preserved character of New Westminster’s historic downtown core. Completed in 2015 by The Salient Group and designed by IBI/HB Architects, this 20-storey concrete tower rises above a carefully restored heritage streetscape, creating one of the city’s most architecturally distinctive addresses.

At its base, the development incorporates and revitalizes the historic Trapp Block, an early 1900s landmark known for its terra cotta façade and prominent presence along Columbia Street. This thoughtful integration preserves the neighbourhood’s Edwardian-era charm while introducing modern residential living above.

The tower is home to 196 thoughtfully designed homes, many featuring open-concept layouts, contemporary finishes, and expansive windows that capture city and Fraser River views. Residents enjoy a full suite of amenities including a fitness centre, residents’ social lounge, rooftop garden and patio, BBQ area, and secure underground parking, all designed to enhance everyday urban living.

Located in the heart of Downtown New Westminster, Trapp + Holbrook offers exceptional walkability and connectivity. Just steps from the SkyTrain, River Market, and Westminster Pier Park, the building places shopping, dining, and waterfront recreation within easy reach, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a vibrant, transit-oriented lifestyle.

Combining heritage restoration with modern high-rise living, Trapp + Holbrook stands as a landmark development that reflects both the past and future of New Westminster’s evolving urban landscape.
