Project background

The Bosa development at 660 Quayside Drive includes two residential towers, a three-storey commercial building with child care and retail, and approximately two acres of additional park and open space. The park space includes an extension to Westminster Pier Park, a public plaza, and an esplanade space. The development also includes a pedestrian and cyclist overpass at Sixth Street and improved pedestrian and cyclist access to the waterfront.

Completed Work

Residential Towers
The west tower was granted occupancy in phases commencing September 2024, and the east tower was granted occupancy in phases commencing January 2025.

Commercial Building
The childcare facility space has been leased to an operator who is preparing to customize the space. The childcare facility is anticipated to open in the second half of 2025 and will accommodate a minimum of 40 children. 

Two ground level commercial units at 1,000 sqft. each are complete and will be temporarily used as a sales and presentation centre for the remaining Pier West residential units. Ultimately these commercial spaces are anticipated to be leased for purposes such as restaurants or cafes. Bosa is also actively marketing 6,005 sqft ground level space plus large patio for lease in the west tower. The space is envisioned as a future riverfront restaurant.

Public Parking
Public parking is now open in the below grade parkade beneath the west residential tower accessed off of Quayside Drive. 80 spaces are available on a pay parking basis. The public parking area is owned by Bosa and managed by a parking management company (Concord Parking).

Traffic Safety
A new pedestrian railway crossing on the east side of Begbie Street has been completed. A new Advanced Traffic Information (ATI) system was installed which notifies motorists of active or upcoming train crossings at the Begbie Street rail crossing and guides road users toward alternative routes out of the Quayside neighbourhood via the McInnes Street Overpass or Third Avenue Overpass. This systems aims to reduce traffic congestion, minimize delays and queuing in the Pier West development area, and enhance road safety and overall community livability.

Park Space B

This smaller park space is located between the two Bosa towers and is a quieter, passive-use park comprised mostly of meadow gardens and custom seating elements. The garden-like space slopes down to a gathering space along the esplanade, offering views of the Fraser River.

Riverfront Esplanade Connection

The pedestrian connection between the Fraser River Discovery Centre and Westminster Pier Park has been re-established. The esplanade provides a dedicated multi-use path for pedestrians and cyclists. It features a seamless integration with the new riverfront park spaces, including comfortable seating opportunities, bicycle parking, and panoramic views of the Fraser River.

The esplanade was constructed by Bosa Development as per City approved design.

Park Space C

This larger park is located on the east side of the development, next to Westminster Pier Park. With the completion of Phase 1, the community is invited to experience the new outdoor fitness area, ping pong tables, picnic areas and riverfront tiered deck seating – all offering panoramic views of the Fraser River. A key highlight is the central installation of ‘Ebb and Flow’, a significant public art piece by Brent Sparrow and Kelly Cannell, representing traditional Musqueam Salish markers, placed among ‘log jam’ seating. 

Park features to be delivered in Phase 2 including festival plaza, stage, spray park, lawn areas, dog off-leash area and washrooms.

The contractors are working towards full park completion in July 2026 with an official celebration opening event planned for Wednesday August 5, 2026.

Current Status: We are pleased to share that starting Monday, May 4, Phase 1 of the westward expansion of Westminster Pier Park will be officially open to the public.

Estimated Timeline for Phase 2 Completion: July 2026
