Concord Pacific Unveils Plans for 1,300 Units Near B.C. Place

Concord Pacific has unveiled plans for a new neighbourhood of 1,300 condominiums in eight buildings by the northern end of Cambie Bridge near BC Place.

Part of the downtown’s new sports and entertainment district, the neighbourhood is being called False Creek Central.

The area includes a new $535-million casino, hotel and entertainment complex being built next to BC Place by Paragon Gaming Corp. Last week, Paragon announced it has revamped its proposal for the project, which included no plans to expand gambling. Paragon proposed to relocate Edgewater Casino at its existing size.

The development proposal is significant both in size — as one of the largest in the city’s history — and in meaning, according to architect and planner Michael Geller.
