At the southern gateway of Vancouver’s Marine Landing district, The Cascades is envisioned as a major purpose-built rental community that reinforces the area’s emergence as a complete, transit-connected neighbourhood. With two slender towers rising above an active podium, the project is shaped to add density where it’s best supported—near rapid transit, daily retail, and established residential streets—helping more people live close to jobs, services, and the broader city.
Beyond new homes, the development is framed around everyday community benefit: a more animated public realm with commercial at grade, a private childcare component, and a meaningful share of below-market rental space—supported in part through partnership with YWCA Metro Vancouver. The result is intended to feel less like an isolated tower site and more like a thoughtful piece of city-building that adds long-term rental stability while contributing to the street, the plaza, and neighbourhood life.

The Cascades represents a contemporary approach to growth in South Vancouver: pairing a strong skyline presence with ground-level uses that encourage activity, connection, and daily convenience. By combining a large rental program with family-oriented priorities, childcare, and a more welcoming public interface, it aims to support Marine Landing’s evolution into a resilient, mixed-use community destination.
- Transit-ready, mixed-use density in the Marine Landing node
