The project, the latest addition to Riverbend Business Park, is Canada's first major multi-storey industrial project. Ware Malcomb served as the Architect of Record for the project.
With proximity to urban areas of Greater Vancouver, the multi-storey distribution centre provides infrastructure for last-mile delivery in a world where consumers have come to expect next-day and same-day delivery.
Located near the intersection of Marine Way and Highway 91A in Burnaby, it is ideally situated for attracting labor and serving Vancouver citizens

"The Greater Vancouver Area is one
of the worlds most land-constrained industrial markets, and demand for
industrial space outpaces supply, thanks to the rise in e-commerce," said Frank
Di Roma, Principal, Ware Malcomb.
"We were pleased to solve considerable logistical and code-related challenges with this new building type and arrive at a design that maximizes industrial floor space. This impressive building is the first large-scale multistory distribution center concept in Canada."
The multi-storey distribution centre is located on a 23.45-acre site and has a ground floor of 437,000 square feet with 32-foot clear heights.

The second story, accessible to full-size transport trailers via a
long service ramp, consists of 270,000 square feet, 28-foot clear heights and a
130-foot truck court where trucks can circulate.
The heated exterior ramp allows for 53-foot trailers to make deliveries. Assorted mechanical rooms, a leasing office and storage space are located below the ramp.
Loading docks are constructed of precast concrete and the office areas are made of insulated metal panels.
