What is the Pier?
Via: www.CNV.org
With some refinement since 2001, the development now includes:
- A total of 1.25 million sq ft of commercial, public amenity and residential development;
- Extensive public waterfront access with a performance stage;
- A major, 700 ft public dock for visiting vessels (Burrard Drydock Pier);
- A floating dock for smaller visiting vessels (St. Roch Dock);
- An industrial heritage precinct with buildings and artefacts that reflect the character of the historic shipyard. This area, now known as The Shipyards, opened to the public in October 2010. In 2006, the previous shipyard was granted National Historic Status;
- 108 room Pinnacle Hotel with conference space and public access to pool;
- Commercial uses with shops, restaurants, services and employment;
- 1,000 apartment and live-work units;
- 50 surplus underground parking stalls for general public use;
- Soil contaminant remediation;
- Infrastructure improvements including Esplanade realignment, utility undergrounding, new road construction, District Energy System, and more.
Some refinement...interesting choice of words...
