Bosa Properties Pool & Hoarding Mural Project
This massive 14,000 square foot project encompasses both a storefront hoarding mural (Arboretum) and a pool mural (The Bathing Dyad) by muralist Drew Young. Located at 1515 Alberni Street and 1500 W. Georgia Street in Coal Harbour, this mural stands on the site of Bosa Properties' prestigious Fifteen Fifteen tower development, designed by international architecture firm Büro Ole Scheeren. The mural project is the largest to date for Drew Young and was unveiled during Vancouver Mural Festival 2021.
