Cambie Gardens, located on Vancouver’s Pearson Dogwood site, has begun upon its dramatic transformation. A development by Onni Group in conjunction with Vancouver Coastal Health, the 25-acre property will be transformed into a vibrant mixed-use neighbourhood. Excavation for Phase A of the development has begun at the corner of Cambie Street and 59th Avenue.
Designed by IBI Group, Phase A will consist of two mixed-use towers rising to 22 and 26 storeys. Both towers will sit on top of 9-storey mid-rises. The towers will consist of 307 strata units, 138 social housing apartments, and 44 Pearson supportive units. There will also be over 13,000 sf of commercial space at grade along 58th Avenue and Cambie Street.
Parking will be located over four underground levels, with spaces for 528 cars and 445 bicycles. The site is well-served by public transit, and is within walking distance of multiple parks, the Marpole Oakridge Community Centre, and several schools.
The redevelopment of the entire site is expected to take place in five phases over the next ten years. The master plan includes a 2.5-acre city park, a 1-acre discovery centre and an urban farm, a public plaza, and 35,000 sf of indoor and outdoor amenity space. The existing healthcare institutions - the George Pearson Centre and Dogwood Lodge - will be transformed into modern, state of the art facilities providing adult day programs, an integrated community health centre, and an upgraded therapeutic pool.
The sales centre is currently open and offers a preview of the several suites, as well as scale models of the two towers and the entire site.
