Mission Waterfront Revitalization Masterplan
Recognizing the transformative potential of transit-oriented development around the existing West Coast Express station, O2 has taken a creative approach that is sensitive to the existing employment lands in the area, ensuring future residential growth does not compromise the City’s existing employment tax base, but instead provides complementary and ancillary benefits to the existing community of businesses. Importantly, the plan will also unlock substantial new employment lands as well, generating a balanced spread of residential and employment around the station, supporting bi-directional commuting patterns.
O2 has also integrated its internationally-recognized ecological programming and landscape architecture into the Mission Waterfront, seizing on the site’s uniqueness as one of the only “green shore” urban sites in the entire Lower Mainland. Finding opportunities to elevate the stature of the waterfront’s pristine natural environment and increasing public access to the river will create an urban-river interface that is unique throughout British Columbia.
