Development of a splashy 1,500-home harbourfront neighbourhood on Pier 8 is making headway.
Waterfront Shores recently signed a lease with the city to use a portion of the Discovery Centre as a showroom and sales centre for its long-awaited, 45-storey condo project, according to a report bound for the west harbour subcommittee Friday.
...
Another capital project update in the report concerns two former industrial buildings the city considers key elements to its redevelopment plans.
One building is a two-storey “artisan market” including washrooms, meeting rooms, a lobby, vendor stalls, marina offices and a covered area for boat mooring, according to the report. Another is a single-floor, “open-air pavilion,” replete with removable walls to accommodate open-air and indoor uses year-round.
The idea is to have the buildings serve as a “multi-purpose, publicly owned and accessible” indoor anchor to the new pedestrianized areas along the water, said Chris Phillips, city waterfront project lead.
The city plans to have a general vision and formal design brief for the buildings by the end of this year. Design proposals will come by 2024 with construction set for 2025. Staff will report back to the subcommittee with more detailed framework for the design competition in May.
