Marine Gateway construction a logistics challenge and success

When the skill of the construction team bringing in mega-project Marine Gateway is drilled down to one feat, it is the ability to raise up a project with two residential towers only yards from an operating rapid-transit line and a commercial and office tower over a busy bus loop serving South Vancouver.

Marine Gateway built on top of Marine Drive Canada Line Station

“We actually built underneath the (Canada Line) guide-way on the north side and connected into the station on the south side so that people (in the residential towers) living there don’t have to go outside,” said Ledcor Construction Limited project manager Crystal Schroeder, who worked the project with senior project manager Jonathan Boyce and senior superintendent Carlos Perdomo.

BISNOW, Ryan Starr, April 18th, 2016.

PCI Developments just cut ribbon on Marine Gateway. President Andrew Grant tells us why the first major mixed-use project to be directly integrated with the Canada Line is a catalyst for big change in sleepy South Vancouver.

Transit Is The Key To Marine Gateway's Success. Here's Why.

Andrew’s seen above right unveiling a plaque with Mayor Gregor Robertson during Marine Gateway’s launch event earlier this month. A one-block, five-acre site previously home to an ICBC depot at SW Marine Drive and Cambie Street has been transformed into the largest transit-oriented development outside downtown. The 820k SF mixed-use LEED Gold community includes a 14-storey office tower anchored by clean-tech firm Westport Innovations. There are 461 condo and rental apartments in two towers.

Parks, beer, transit: A neighbourhood is born at Vancouver’s South Cambie

Georgia Straights, Gail Johnson, February 17th, 2016

Most people save downsizing for their retirement years, but Vancouver’s Kevin Li recently went from a house to a condo at age 37. He swapped the bigger space his home offered for a place that came with built-in community, one that’s springing up around Marine Drive at the south foot of Cambie Street in Vancouver—an area that, until recently, consisted mostly of a scattering of low-rise offices and barren industrial land.

Li was one of the first people to move into Marine Gateway, an 830,000-square-foot mixed-use development that anchors the burgeoning neighbourhood known by the City of Vancouver as Marine Landing.

At his doorstep are a T & T Supermarket, Dublin Crossing Irish pub, Winners, Starbucks, Shoppers Drug Mart, liquor store, and other shops, services, and restaurants, including Pink Elephant Thai, an 11-screen Cineplex VIP movie theatre, and a Steve Nash Fitness World. Read more

The recent opening of Coast Capital Savings’ “Help Headquarters” completes the first phase of The HUB at King George Station development and marks the next step in the impressive evolution of Surrey, B.C.

“Given all the government infrastructure that’s been put in over the last several years, we’re starting to see things take off and there’s really good demand to be in the area. From our standpoint, it’s a community to watch.” Read more
