The Vüze, Residential tower in Halifax, Canada
The Vüze is a 98 meter tall residential tower in Halifax with 33 floors offering accommodation for students and professionals. The building is served by four elevators, including an express elevator connecting the basement, lobby, and upper floors.
The tower opened in 1971 as Fenwick Place, named after Sir William Fenwick Williams who served as Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia. This opening marked a turning point in the city's development toward modern high-rise residential construction.
The tower reflects 1970s design trends that transformed Halifax's skyline and introduced high-rise residential living to the city. Its appearance helped establish this style as part of the urban landscape that continues today.
The building has modern elevator systems that make it easy to navigate between floors and reach different levels. Visitors should use the marked entrances and can ask the lobby staff for assistance or directions.
During Hurricane Juan in 2003, residents took shelter in the basement while strong winds damaged windows throughout the structure. The event demonstrates how the building withstood extreme weather conditions typical of the Atlantic coast.
