622 Marine Drive


Location: Vancouver, BC
Size: 450,000 sf

This unique development in South Vancouver features two towers atop a retail podium. A key aspect of the project is a public plaza and a pedestrian path that provide great permeability through the unusual triangular site, encouraging pedestrian movement and enhancing urban connectivity.
The proposed massing provides much-needed density while maintaining a pedestrian-scaled base. The design features a distinctive crown and a dramatic flatiron base, drawing attention to both the top and bottom of the structure. This project establishes an active street wall, using the length of the frontage to define the street. The podium is divided into two parts, framing a generous mid-block connection from SW Marine Drive to W 70th Avenue.
Massing is concentrated toward SW Marine Drive, away from the lower-density homes along W 70th Avenue, maximizing sunny open space. The residential area is distributed between two slender towers, stepping down westward from the transit hub at Cambie Street. Positioned mid-block and perpendicular to the traffic flow, the towers create a logical cadence along SW Marine Drive, with their south sides shifting apart to emphasize verticality.
