The Waterfront is open for everyone to enjoy!

Situated along one half mile of south-facing riverfront, this unrivaled location provides Vancouver with a dynamic reconnection to its waterfront.

At the heart of the development:

  • a state-of-the-art cable-stayed pier creates a spectacular waterfront entranceway along with parks, fountains and open spaces.
  • At full build-out, the master plan proposes:
    • 3,000 new residential units,
    • over 1.25 million square feet of Class A creative office space,
    • a boutique hotel,
    • flagship restaurants,
    • and unique retail spaces.

This $2.0 billion mixed-use development has transformed and ushered in the next chapter for the entire metropolitan Vancouver/Portland area. This unique, public/private collaborative partnership between the City of Vancouver, Columbia Waterfront LLC and Gramor Development, Inc. created the opportunity to transform the Columbia Waterfront west of the I-5 Interstate Bridge.

Construction commenced November 2015, with the first buildings opening in Summer 2018. Upon its completion, this new urban neighborhood will bring more than 10,000 jobs, as well as over $385 million (the present value of state and local taxes over the next twenty years) to the region’s economy.
