Future Approved Offices
The mixed-use tower of mainly office uses is located at the corner of 2nd Avenue and 2nd Street and
surrounded by existing and approved office buildings.
PROJECT VISION
Great neighbourhoods host a range of activities, both social
and commercial and provide residents and visitors multiple
experiences to live, work and play.
Office use provides daytime patrons that are critical for viable
retail businesses that create the vibrancy along the city streets
and plaza.
The proposed land use increases allowable density of
office uses through a contribution to the Eau Claire Plaza
Revitalization Fund. This contribution is a significant investment
in the revitalization of the neighbourhood’s central civic space.
