Our guests for the meeting were Zoe Boal and Phil Boname in to talk to us about the status of the Westport Village development on the old Andres Wine lands.
--Vision sees the Westport Village as being the western “gateway to the City of Port Moody.
--Project is bordered by the Barnet Highway, Clarke Street, Douglas Street and Short Street.
Site plans include:
- an Artist Mews Village (2-4 stories) with a combination of artists work space, fabrication areas, art shops, galleries and artist residences
- highrise providing 132 strata residential units above a boutique hotel proving 60-80 rooms.
- 1 medium rise building providing 176 rental residential units over 4-5 larger floors of office space leaning towards high tech or knowledge based research and related startup companies.
- 1 Senior’s Care building with both independent and assisted living as well as cafeteria, special events rooms, recreational space, senior’s lounge and a senior’s common area.
- A medical clinic building of 4-5 floors (appr. 45,000 sq. ft) housing an existing Port Moody clinic with a much expanded space.
- Retail/commercial space at the ground level for most of the buildings.
The development expects to offer the most diverse mixed use offering in the Port Moody area with at least 14 different Land Uses on the site. Mix of high and mid rise residential buildings with lower height buildings will provide outstanding site lines as well as the central plaza will become a meeting space as well as an entertainment hub for Port Moody’s West End. Buildings will feature green roofs and the highrise buildings will include living features with trees and greenery that will be watered by gravity fed systems maintained by the strata.
All in all an exciting proposal for the future of Port Moody.
Trudy’s ticket was drawn for the 50/50 but no Queen of Spades “Toooo Bad!!”
