Strathcona Village

Strathcona Village is a mixed-use industrial and residential development, the first of its kind in North America. Located near the downtown core, on the southern edge of the Port of Vancouver, the site has historically been one of industry, a typology that is increasingly being converted to residential use due to the pressures of the ever-expanding inner city. To maintain existing industrial space while increasing the local housing supply in the area an innovative approach was called for. The Strathcona Village project successfully pioneered the integration of what were previously considered incompatible programs into a new hybrid mixed-use typology for Vancouver.
