A comprehensive urban design for a 25-acre ‘brownfield’ waterfront site which accommodates light industrial, office, and commercial use, as well as various types of residential use. The design is regulated by the City of Victoria’s first Comprehensive Development Zoning Bylaw, and subject to guidelines in an Urban Design Manual. Emphasis is placed on well-defined pedestrian-scaled streets, the public waterfront, and a wide array of activities. The project is critically acclaimed and widely studied as precedent for urban infill and the redevelopment of waterfront industrial sites.
