The project is centrally located in the False Creek waterfront area of Vancouver as part of the designated Entertainment District. It is also one of two last remaining undeveloped waterfront sites in Vancouver. The goal of the project is to provide a much-needed waterfront gathering place for a world-class waterfront city. The project serves many roles: as a destination, a connector, a portal, a foreground, as well as a backdrop to the skyline of Vancouver. Therefore, the project is designed to be experienced at various scales as a unique, lively destination with a diverse public realm.

“A carefully crafted solution to a complex urban design development project - destination, connector, portal, foreground and background. The level of architectural response to the site produced unique and appropriate forms."
"This development takes its tight site constraints and creates a plan for a complete community. It incorporates views of the surrounding context while the built form reflects the view corridors. The organic built form is a reflection of the site analysis and is well considered. The presentation is clearly presented and easy to understand."
"This project successfully weaves the public domain across the entire site and creates tangible and visceral connections to the waterfront. The design was recognized for its site specificity as well as its capacity to create strong synergies between planning principles, urban design logic, and architectural form. The public realm created has a diversity of spaces and places, many of which benefit from strong sectional development that augments social animation.”
