Woodward’s is a mixed-use, urban redevelopment project in the Gastown area of Vancouver’s east side, very close to downtown. Located on the site of the former Woodward’s department store, the redevelopment involved the demolition of several of the department store buildings, the restoration and adaptive use of one historic structure for office space, and the construction of two new residential towers, nonmarket housing units for both singles and families, new educational and cultural space for Simon Fraser University, an atrium, a daycare center, and ground-level retail space—all within the confines of a 2.32-acre site in an area with a variety of social and poverty issues. The project includes a total of 1,073,715 square feet of space.
