Development update: This post was originally published in June 2024 and reflects the waterfront project's status at that time, including projected timelines like the East Portal project (slated for 2025) and full completion (targeted for 2030). Some of these milestones may have since occurred, shifted, or changed. For current status, see the official Vancouver Waterfront project site.
📌 Direct Answer — What's New at the Vancouver Waterfront?
As of this 2024 update, the Vancouver Waterfront redevelopment (a former paper mill site) was adding a new eight-story parking garage (~400 spaces), a rebuilt Terminal One dock with a planned 40,000-square-foot marketplace, the ZoomInfo headquarters building with a skybridge, and had recently welcomed the AC Hotel by Marriott, Indigo by IHG, and Salt & Straw. Looking ahead at the time, the East Portal project was set to begin in 2025, with the full 45-acre project targeted for completion by 2030.

Hello, friends! Have you seen the Vancouver Waterfront lately? Whether you're looking to relocate or already live here, you'll be amazed at the incredible development happening in this area. If you haven't been down here recently, let me tell you, the changes are astonishing!

🏗️ New Developments

New Developments at the Waterfront

One major development is the new eight-story parking garage, which will replace surface lots and add around 400 much-needed parking spaces. With the waterfront's popularity, especially in the evenings and on weekends, this garage is a crucial addition.

Over by WildFin and Twigs, you'll find lots that will soon become mixed-use residential buildings. The first of three phases on the Terminal One project is complete, including removing the old dock from the Red Lion Hotel to make way for a new one in 2027. This new dock will host a 40,000-square-foot marketplace featuring retail establishments, farm-to-table restaurants, bars, entertainment, and specialty shops.

Another exciting development is the ZoomInfo building, currently under construction and expected to be completed later this year. This mixed-use area, developed by LPC West Division of Lincoln Property Company, will include a beautiful skybridge spanning a garden walkway to the adjacent building. The ZoomInfo headquarters will feature retail along Columbia Street with parking behind and beneath the towers.

In addition, the AC Hotel by Marriott and the Indigo by IHG opened in 2022, adding beautiful hotel accommodations to the area. The renovated upper dock at Vancouver Landing will continue to serve the American Empress river cruise ship, while the lower dock will be used for smaller pleasure boats.

Looking ahead, the dock reconstruction is underway this year, with the East Portal project set to start in 2025. This area will feature green spaces along the Renaissance Trail, including native vegetation and rain gardens. The entire 45-acre Vancouver Waterfront project is expected to be completed by 2030.

New Businesses

One of my favorite new businesses at the waterfront is Salt & Straw, a popular ice cream shop that recently opened its doors here. Evenings and weekends often see lines, but it's worth the wait!
