Village plan modelled after Italy’s Portofino hinges on city making good on 2015 promise to demolish viaducts
Concord Pacific says it’s ready to push forward with what it’s calling Concord Landing — a development of the long-dormant northeast shore of False Creek that it says will create 5,000 new homes but also “a vibrant, walkable village that serves both residents and visitors.”
On Tuesday, the developer shared with the media its new plans for the site, which currently consists of parking lots sandwiched between two viaducts to the north and the False Creek shoreline to the south.
Peter Webb, Concord’s senior vice-president of development, said the plans present “a comprehensive and ambitious vision that integrates local and global elements of urban design.”
