From the article: “Multi-storey industrial strata has been successful in Vancouver, but this is the first of its kind in Richmond.” The Richmond project includes office as well as industrial, just like the Vancouver examples.
Ironworks is 50% industrial, 50% office (but not general office, so no lawyers or accountants, for example). There's
one just completed on George Street.
This one started construction on Vernon Drive - and looks just like the Richmond one. It's big too. There are many others proposed that are more industry than office, like
this one on Jackson in Railtown,
this one in Mount Pleasant (which unlike several schemes there is more industrial use than office),
this jewellery manufacturer under construction in Mount Pleasant,
this building on Frances, and
this Railtown building. There are more; one even has three floors of industry and then residential above; Strathcona Village on East Hastings. And there are over 20 projects with upper floor offices over an industrial main floor in Mount Pleasant.
