12. Pier West by Bosa

The scale of Pier West sets it apart. The two towers are among the most prominent buildings on the New Westminster skyline, with many homes offering dramatic, unobstructed views of the Fraser River, city, bridges, and mountains.
For buyers, Pier West represents the high end of New Westminster condo living: newer Bosa construction, waterfront exposure, modern design, amenity space, walkability, and views that are difficult to duplicate.
It is a major benchmark building for the future of New Westminster’s waterfront condo market.
Best for: Luxury condo buyers, downsizers, waterfront buyers, view-focused buyers, and people wanting newer Bosa concrete construction in Downtown New Westminster.
Which New Westminster Condo Building Is Best?
The best condo building in New Westminster depends on what you value most.
If you want character, Murano Lofts or C2C Lofts may stand out. If you want waterfront living, RiverSky, The Q, Murano, The Peninsula, or Pier West may be a fit. If you want downtown convenience, Quantum, Trapp + Holbrook, 618 Carnarvon, or Ovation are worth considering. If you want green space and views, Parkside in Victoria Hill is a strong option.

Every building has trade-offs. Buyers should consider:
- Building age and construction type
- Strata fees and contingency reserve fund
- Depreciation report and upcoming repairs
- Location and walkability
- SkyTrain access
- Views and exposure
- Parking and storage
- Pet and rental bylaws
- Noise, elevators, amenities, and building management

- Long-term resale appeal
