This week at Harbourside: week ending January 11

A weekly summary of what’s happening in the Harbourside planning process.

Meetings with tenants at 889 Harbourside

889 Harbourside is an office building constructed and owned by Concert on the Harbourside site. The Concert development team met with tenants on Wednesday to gather feedback.

• Tenants were generally impressed with our plans for Harbourside. 
• Areas of concern include parking, Spirit Trail connection, increased traffic and transit services to Harbourside. 
• Concert will continue to explore options for addressing these concerns. 

Meetings with advisory bodies

Concert made a group presentation to the City of North Vancouver’s five relevant advisory bodies in December 2012. This week the team met individually with two of those advisory bodies. Advisory bodies specialize in specific areas of community planning and make recommendations to the City.

• This Wednesday night Concert met with the Advisory Planning Committee (APC) and received their unanimous support. A follow-up meeting was scheduled for February. 
• Concert also met with the Parks and Environment Advisory Committee (PEAC) on Thursday night. They had a constructive discussion and are also planning to meet again in February.  

Over the coming weeks, the team will meet with the remaining three advisory bodies.
