Building removal at Burrard Slopes

The vacant buildings at 1620, 1630 and 1670 W 5th Ave will be removed in preparation for construction of Burrard Slopes Park. The buildings have been deemed unfit for repurpose.

Where possible, materials from the buildings will be reused to minimize demolition waste, in keeping with the City’s Green Demolition by-law and Zero Waste 2040.

Building removal is planned to begin in spring 2024 and should take approximately 10-13 months. The area outlined in red on the map will remain closed during this time. Other amenities on this block are expected to remain open for the majority of the work.

A temporary wildflower meadow will be planted to remediate the soil for the period between building removal and construction of the permanent park.
