Case Study

Case Study: Dockside Green, Victoria, B.C., Canada

A Platinum Setting: This 15-acre, mixed-use, harbor-front development in Victoria, B.C., will set records for sustainability at the neighborhood scale

by Sara Hart

So confident were the developers of obtaining LEED Platinum certification for Dockside Green, a mixed-use development in Victoria, British Columbia, that the company agreed to pay the city a $1 million penalty if they didn’t achieve it. So far, so good. Last July, the initial phase, called “Synergy,” consisting of four detached residential buildings totaling 93 condominiums, received LEED Platinum certification for new construction through the Canada Green Building Council with a record-setting 63 points.

Dockside Green rests on 15 acres of former industrial land on Victoria’s inner harbor. The development includes residential, live/work, retail, office, light-industrial, public amenities, and cultural venues. Once completed, it will comprise 26 buildings, totaling 1.3 million square feet, and serve as home to 2,500 people in three neighborhoods.
