This 28 000-square-foot mixed-use project overlooks a popular beach and waterfront park. The ground floor commercial space along Departure Bay Road brings a pedestrian focus to this previously vehicle-dominated street-scape. Shops shield the parking behind. Raised and set back from the street are 3 floors holding 21 apartments of 1400 square feet each. The building features exposed concrete, vertical cedar siding, and cedar soffits. The project was suspended due to a significant archeological discovery during the preliminary site investigation.
