Renaissance Boardwalk Vancouver, Washington

Overlooking the bank of the Columbia River, the Renaissance Boardwalk represents a cornerstone connection for a revitalized Vancouver waterfront. Close collaboration between the City of Vancouver, Department of Ecology, and multiple design disciplines of Otak contributed to the design of this iconic waterfront project.

Designing a Dynamic Mixed-Use Waterfront

In linking Waterfront Gateway and Terminal 1 to the east to Waterfront Park to the west, reestablishment of the boardwalk also serves as a center for cultural activity along the water. The waves of the nine-story residential building reflect the current of the river below, while commercial uses line the boardwalk, anchoring the development to the riverbank. This 400,000+ square foot mixed-use project provides 217 residential units along with 100,000+ square feet of commercial space including entertainment, restaurant, hospitality, and office uses.
