Tour Description

Tour Host: Michael Mortensen

The RISE is a new model of mixed-use transit-oriented development for Vancouver. Located in Mount Pleasant, just steps away from the new Canada Line station at Broadway, the RISE forms part of what is now the third largest retail node in the city.

This tour will explain how the developer mixed large format retailers with smaller local serving shops and services and a rooftop residential community on a 2.3 acre city block. Our discussion will cover infill, densification, public involvement, urban design, sustainability, and large format retail in urban settings.

Participants will be guided through the development and up to the rooftop where 92 unitsof rental housing have been built around a 20,000 sf intensive green roof and community garden. A variety of units will be open for the tour.

Special Instructions

This tour is wheelchair accessible.

Jane's Walk

Jane's Walk is held simultaneously in cities across Canada and other countries around the world. Inspired by Jane Jacob's and her belief that in order to know your city "you have to get out and walk," Jane's Walk is a simple idea. It is free, it connects people and builds communities by promoting urban literacy and citizen engagement.
