Our vision

As the Broadway transformation unfolds, so does a broader

civic responsibility.

The demand for community-focused development has never been clearer:

Accessible Accommodations

Senior-Focused Amenities

Meaningful Homeownership Options

Vibrant Public Spaces

Our proposals endeavour to contribute to city-building at two key intersections:

Hemlock & West Broadway

(the “Hemlock Project”) and its companion initiative at

Burrard & West Broadway

(the “Burrard Project”).

Concord Pacific

, we are ready to help realize the vision of Broadway as a one of Vancouver’s most vital and inspiring streets, befitting a truly “Great Street”. 

7 Key Intersections
On BROADWAY

Broadway, Vancouver’s key East–West corridor, is an essential part of the city fabric and the

2nd largest employment centre

in BC.

Along this corridor, 7 key intersections act as urban junctures where the city’s infrastructure, economy and community life converge. With the introduction of the Broadway Subway, many of these intersections are now aligned with rapid transit stations, positioning them to become high-density, transit-oriented urban centres.

Situated directly across from the Granville & Broadway Subway Station and serving as a key feeder into the Granville Bridge, the Hemlock and West Broadway intersection holds a

uniquely pivotal role.

The mixed-use

Hemlock Project

presents a unique opportunity to transform this urban nexus.

Four blocks east, the predominantly residential

Burrard Project

plays a supporting role in helping both sites reach their full potential.

THE TRANSFORMATION OF BROADWAY

Over the decades, Broadway has undergone a dramatic transformation. It is time to embrace what the new transit connection brings and celebrate a

new chapter in Broadway’s growth.

The Broadway Plan

Today, Broadway is poised to become

Vancouver’s “Second Downtown”.

Both the

Hemlock Project

and the

Burrard Project

fall within the boundaries of the Broadway Plan, Vancouver’s 30-year framework to integrate new housing, job space and amenities with the construction of the Broadway Subway.

Hotel

By 2030, Vancouver will welcome an estimated

14 million

visitors annually—and yet the city only has

13,290

hotel rooms, with

23,292

rooms total in Metro Vancouver.

Without new supply, Vancouver risks losing its competitiveness, facing revenue loss for businesses reliant on tourism, and losing economic output, GDP share, and employment.

additional hotel rooms are scheduled to be built before 2026 and only another

560

additional rooms by 2030.

Our Proposal

The Hemlock Project

aims to add

257 well-designed rooms

to the city’s hotel supply with the creation of a

mid-market hotel

at this transit-oriented location, providing accessible accommodations for business and leisure travellers and supporting the success of the Broadway Plan.

Seniors

As Vancouver’s population ages, the demand for dignified and inclusive gathering places for seniors has become

increasingly urgent.

people aged 65 and older live in Metro Vancouver, a number that is expected to rise sharply over the next decade; making up 15% of Metro Vancouver's population

Senior Centres in Need of Revitalization

Community centres and cultural facilities for older persons are a critical requirement across the city.

Our Proposal

The Hemlock Project

proposes a modern,

12,000-square-foot purpose-built community space

to replace the aging headquarters of the nearby South Granville Seniors Centre, a non-profit organization that provides over 2,000 seniors with a welcoming gathering space and a variety of programs and services aimed at promoting healthy and independent lifestyles. 

Intentionally crafted social centres for seniors are essential civic spaces that foster

connection

wellness

, and

dignity

—extending healthy years and uplifting the generations that nurtured our neighbourhoods.

Community Spaces

As the Broadway Corridor grows denser and more complex, public gathering spaces take on

new significance.

Both projects incorporate generous building setbacks to intentionally create animated plazas to fulfill the Broadway Plan’s aspiration for a “complete, connected network of public spaces” that nurture social connection, cultural expression, and community well-being.

Strata Homes

With a

57%

population increase forecasted over the next 30 years, a wide spectrum of housing is needed to ensure a

diverse and inclusive community.

Amenities at the Burrard Project include a children’s play area.
