The site is strategically located between two important centers of redevelopment activity – the Columbia River waterfront and historic downtown core. It represents one of the largest remaining undeveloped contiguous properties in the downtown area and is a premier development opportunity for the region. The site is adjacent to Vancouver City Hall and the Vancouver Convention Center/Hilton Hotel.

The CCRA is seeking teams composed of a developer and designer capable of both designing and building office, commercial, retail and housing in a multi-story mixed-use environment. The opportunity is rooted in a community vision developed over the last two years that offers initial ideas and design considerations for the site, including a public parking garage and potential future expansion of the convention center.

Vancouver is the second largest city in the Portland metro area, with a population of 190,000 and a strong entrepreneurial spirit. The city is nationally recognized for its beautiful setting, business friendly attitude, diverse mix of people and industries, and livability.
