The 11-acre Sp’akw’us Feather Park on Oceanfront Squamish is currently under construction and is expected to open in 2023.
Construction on the park started in September last year. Meantime, it is anticipated that Oceanfront Squamish will start construction of the Presentation Centre Public House later this year.
Oceanfront Squamish said its agreement with Capilano University represents a major milestone in bringing the concept of an education hub to reality and positions Capilano University for a grand return to Squamish.
“Capilano University’s decision to become a partner in the development at this stage allows them to take a front seat on the development and will help shape the future of the site” the company said.
“In addition to education, the masterplan community Oceanfront Squamish will offer opportunities for commercial, residential, light industrial and extensive public park space, including the 11-acre Sp’akw’us Feather Park (formerly known as Nexen Beach).
The last five year’s work at Oceanfront Squamish includes designing and constructing much of the civil infrastructure required for the masterplan development such as site wide servicing, road construction, seismic engineering and flood construction design.
