The new Canadian Tire Marine Drive site is a large multi-level commercial development featuring eight commercial retail units and an above-ground parkade, located in Vancouver, BC.

Associated Engineering was retained by Canadian Tire to undertake the design and construction administration for the servicing of the site, the stormwater management, parking lot layout and off-site works on Marine Drive. The development of this site posed such design challenges as meeting City rezoning requirements, LEED Gold standards, retention of the site’s heritage status, existing infrastructure constraints, and a large off-site component including works on Marine Drive, Ontario Street and 69^th Avenue.
