In the heart of downtown Vancouver, just minutes from the financial district and art galleries, sits the One Wall Centre - an elliptical, blue glass complex featuring a Sheraton Hotel and luxury apartments.

A condominium on the 47th floor, offering stunning views of the Pacific coast mountains and Vancouver Harbour through floor to ceiling windows, is owned by the ex-wife and son of Hui Ka Yan, the billionaire founder and chairman of the failed developer China Evergrande Group.
