by Jessica Boehland
The developers of Dockside in Victoria, British Columbia, have committed to LEED Platinum for all buildings in this 12-acre (3 ha), CA$300 million brownfield redevelopment project—a portion of which is shown in this composite graphic.
Source: Windmill Development In a unanimous vote from the Victoria city council, Windmill Development–VanCity Enterprises has won a bid to redevelop Dockside, an 11.6-acre (2.85 ha) brownfield site in downtown Victoria, British Columbia. The CA$300 million development, expected to take a decade to complete, includes 1 million ft2 (93,000 m2) of residential, commercial, office, and light-industrial space. “We committed to LEED® Platinum on all buildings; treating all sewage on site; a greenhouse-gas-neutral policy, by utilizing biomass energy for heating, cooling, and electricity; a biodiesel facility; a neighborhood-electric-vehicle car-share program; and a mini transit system; plus more,” said Joe Van Belleghem, Windmill Development partner. “We were thrilled by the response from the community and environmental and business groups,” he told
EBN. “I thought I was dreaming. It’s not often a developer receives a standing ovation at council. We are committed to ensuring a development that truly embraces economic, social, and environmental issues and that is a world showcase for sustainable community design.” More information is online at www.docksidegreen.com.
