Our consultant team

In order to bring Concert’s vision for a complete mixed-use Harbourside to fruition, we rely heavily on the team of skilled consultants we have assembled. Each of these key individuals were selected for their extensive knowledge on particular aspects of community planning and design. 

Richard Henry of Richard Henry Architect was brought on board to develop Concert’s vision through the OCP amendment and rezoning phases. Richard brings 25 years of experience in major rezonings in addition to five years of recent experience sitting as a member of the Vancouver Urban Design Panel. Throughout his longstanding relationship with Concert he has worked on over 20 of our developments. 

Karen Marler of Hughs Condon and Marler Architects (HCMA) is working in conjunction with Richard on urban design as well as consulting on sustainability. In addition to the work HCMA has done for Concert over the years,  which includes our Arbutus Walk master-planned community in Vancouver, the firm recently completed the UniverCity Childcare Facility at SFU which is one of the world’s greenest buildings due to its target of a net zero footprint. Karen is also working on Vancouver’s East Fraserlands development, a 130-acre industrial site being transformed into a mixed-use community. 

Derek Lee of PWL is serving as the landscape architect for Harbourside. PWL worked with Concert on the original landscape architecture and urban planning of Harbourside Business Park in addition to Concert’s recent developments such as Salt and Tapestry at Wesbrook Village in Vancouver. Derek brings experience working on high-profile projects such as the landscape design of Olympic Village in Vancouver’s Southeast False Creek and New Westminster’s Pier Park. In addition, he served as the former Chair of the City of North Vancouver’s Design Panel advisory body. 

Alex Boston, in conjunction with his team of engineers at Golder and Associates, is working to address sea level rise at Harbourside as well as aiding in sustainability planning in conjunction with HCMA. Golder and Associates bring a host of experience to their work on Harbourside which includes engineering services for the Vancouver Convention Centre West. 

Paul Dorby and Peter Joyce of Bunt & Associates are responsible for the comprehensive transportation analysis and mitigation recommendations which will work to alleviate traffic and transportation related concerns at Harbourside. Bunt & Associates’ extensive experience includes working on the strategic transportation plan for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games in addition to traffic demand strategies for shopping centres such as Metrotown and Guildford Town Centre. Paul and Peter have also been involved on numerous Concert projects through the years. 

Concert is proud to have been able to assemble an “all star” team for this project and looks forward to drawing on their extensive experience as we take the next steps in this exciting process.
