The Waterfront Vancouver has become Vancouver, Washington’s largest commercial, urban development to date, bringing a vibrant mix of retail, living and green spaces to the city, as an extension of the downtown core’s reconnection to the mighty and majestic Columbia River. By reclaiming nearly 32 acres – in 20 city blocks – of available property, the planned, environmentally conscious design reflects the spirit of the Pacific Northwest with accessible, urban-friendly space and ample transportation links to the city, region and world beyond.  With an estimated 2030 completion date and $1.6 billion in direct investment and costs underway/projected, The Waterfront Vancouver will deliver the total output value of $6.1 billion in 2022-measured dollars.

Master planning shows design for more than 3,000 housing units, 10 park acres, more than 386,000 square feet of office space, 235,000 square feet of retail, and hospitality space. The first phase, which broke ground in 2016, created a prominent entry from downtown and provide a dynamic entertainment and service district along the waterfront.
