The River District is located along the Fraser River, just off Marine Way, west of Boundary.
It is a brand new, award-winning, master-planned community created by Wesgroup – a Vancouver based builder that has been building in the Lower Mainland for over 50 years.
Wesgroup has spent the last decade carefully planning River District, the last waterfront development in the city.
Spanning 130 acres, it is three times the size of Granville Island and will soon become a vibrant destination for living and shopping when complete in 2017.
In the coming years, River District will become its own mini-city complete with a European-style town centre - a pedestrian-only plaza of shops, restaurants, grocery store, banks and other services.
The development offers unprecedented, affordable waterfront living as well as access to new riverfront pathways, sports fields, a new elementary school, four daycare centres, an active and beautiful waterfront community centre, a waterfront restaurant and a large amenity centre.
Just 10 minutes drive to Richmond, 10 minutes to Metrotown and 30 minutes to downtown Vancouver, it offers a central location for residents.
The residential phase of the development called One Town Centre includes 296 homes in two concrete buildings – one high rise and one mid-rise attached by a podium and anchored by retail.
The development aims to be the city’s next Yaletown with retail complete at the time of move in.
River District is designed by a world-class team of planners, architects and engineers:
• River District is 130 acres - 3 times the size of Granville Island.
• River District will have more residents than Yaletown - 7,000 homes and 15,000 residents including: 7.2M square feet of residential space, 250,000 square feet of retail space, 260,000 square feet of office space. This is bigger than White Rock.
• 5KM of continuous waterfront paths connecting Vancouver to Burnaby and 25 acres of park space, a larger area than all of Gastown.
• River District has already won 10 awards including “best neighbourhood and master-plan design.
