It’s where fi ve of Vancouver’s favourite neighbourhoods rub shoulders – the convergence of Yaletown, Gastown,

Chinatown, False Creek and downtown. Yet despite its unique waterfront setting, Crosstown has as yet never developed a clear sense of identity. True, sporting and cultural events like the Stanley Cup, Cirque du Soleil or rock concerts attract big crowds to BC Place and Roger’s Arena… but few of those fans remain after the fi nal curtain call or shoot-out.

However, over the past few years, change is defi nitely in the air. And Kevin Hoff man, senior vice-president of the Aquilini Group, is one of the many industry insiders who are excited that, after well over three decades, Crosstown is fi nally fi nding its stride as the city’s sports and entertainment district.

Mixed-Use and Resort DevelopmentThe company has already completed

Aquilini Centre West, a 26-storey tower that connects directly to the Rogers Arena con-course and is the fi rst of three purpose-built rental buildings with lower-level retail and commercial components. The south tower has broken ground, and the east tower, which will rise above the location of the cur-rent Canucks Store and give enhanced access to the stadium, is expected to be underway soon. Hoff man also notes there is a strong possibility of a fourth tower, although there

are no details yet available. Poised to become a neighbourhood high-

light is Parq Vancouver, a $600 million joint venture laying claim to becoming the province’s largest private development. This 62,000-square-foot “urban resort” will be located adjacent to BC Place and will fea-ture event and conference space including Vancouver’s largest ballroom. In addition to being the new home of the Edgewater Casino, it will house two luxury hotels – BC’s fi rst JW Marriott hotel and a Marriott International Autograph Collection hotel named The Douglas.

A VIADUCT-FREE VISIONCausing a fl urry of excitement is

Vancouver’s anticipated decision to remove the Dunsmuir and Georgia Street viaducts. Brian Jackson, general manager of planning and development services with the City of

Vancouver, says that after an intensive two-year study, the process could receive fi nal approval to move forward in September. “We are meeting weekly with Concord Pacifi c to work out details for the new road system and other infrastructure.”

The City’s post-viaduct vision is an ambi-tious one. “Once the viaduct is removed, we will be able to take Georgia Street down to grade at Pacifi c,” Jackson explains. “It will open up the entire area and will allow us to create a ceremonial street giving water-to-water access from False Creek to Lost Lagoon.” He also anticipates a Fisherman’s Wharf-style dock and boardwalk fi lled with a diverse array of restaurants and boutique retail.

RISING FROM THE GROUNDAlthough Concord Pacifi c declined to

reveal details about what will happen to its

lands under the viaducts, there’s no question this developer will remain an integral part of the fabric of this new district. One Pacifi c’s eye-catching, ocean-wave facade is now easily viewable as the 435-unit, 21-storey luxury condo building continues to rise out the ground between Cambie Bridge and BC Place – an iconic harbinger of the estimated $1.3 billion of development the company is expected to invest by the time it has built out the massive masterplanned community here.

The next phase of that will be the 620-unit Arc Vancouver, the developer’s pair of 28- and 30-storey multicoloured towers to be built opposite One Pacifi c at the north-west end of the Cambie Bridge. Three three-storey “skybridges” connecting the two towers will also contain apartment units. A plaza will run underneath the Cambie Bridge and off er a pedestrian link between Arc Vancouver and One Pacifi c, joining the developments.

“I see the same kind of untapped poten-tial in Crosstown that existed in Yaletown when it was just a few towers and the Roundhouse,” Hoff man says. “Vancouver is known for its ability to successfully cre-ate neighbourhoods with a mix of housing types, and that’s what’s happening now in Crosstown. In 10 to 12 years, I believe this will be one of Vancouver’s most diverse, lively and sought-after communities.”
