As alluded on this forum earlier, one of the most spectacular rental suites we saw during our Great Apartment Hunt of 2015 was the
sub-penthouse of The Mark. This 46th floor (in reality 40th) floor northwest unit had views to match our former place in the One Wall Centre.
Unfortunately the unit ended up being too small for our furniture, although we did contemplate downsizing for this place. In the end someone with a checkbook had walked in and took the apartment on the spot, only to be kicked out 2 months later when the suite returned to market. Unfortunately at that point we had already settled temporarily in The Max.
Anyways, here's a bried walkthough of the suite and the amazing view!
Both bedroom in the 1100 sqft suite were good size, but the kitchen and the living room were too tiny for our furniture. There was also not enough space for pots and pans in the kitchen cabinets. There is a large windowless pantry in the middle of the building which can act as a den.
The view from up here is amazing. Even during a downpour it was mesmerizing to watch and the open corner balconies are scary as hell!

English Bay. This view is going to change a LOT with all the new towers planned around Granville Bridge loops. Would have been a sweet place to witness the change happen.
One Wall Centre and Downtown looking great. Trump and Shangri-La are completely hidden from the view.
The Mark is the tallest in Yaletown (not for long, though) and that shows. Nothing compares to it in height.
The entire Downtown peninsula. What a great and dense layers our city has!
And there you have it. We didn't end up in The Mark and eventually moved even higher up in Metrotown.
