New Westminster’s skyline has forever changed with the completion of Pier West, a flagship residential project by Bosa Development. As the tallest towers in New Westminster, this represents a major milestone for the city, offering luxury waterfront living, while reconnecting the community to the Fraser River through an enhanced boardwalk and green space.
A Brief History of Pier West
The vision for Pier West began years ago, with pre-sales launching in November 2018. The project consists of two residential towers, with the first at 680 Quayside Drive completed in 2024 and the second slated for completion in spring 2025.
However, the journey to completion wasn’t without challenges. Due to the complexity of building on the waterfront, including deep pilings and foundation work, construction significantly exceeded its original timeline.
A key engineering feat was the monolithic concrete pour, which involved large-scale foundation work to stabilize the towers on the waterfront. This added to construction delays but was necessary to ensure structural integrity.
For over five years, the area was filled with heavy machinery, noise, and congestion, impacting nearby residents and businesses. Now, as the development nears completion, the revitalized waterfront promises to bring new energy and vibrancy back to the area.
A Transformational Impact on the Community
Pier West isn’t just about high-rise living; it’s about redefining New Westminster’s waterfront experience. The development seamlessly connects Westminster Pier Park with the River Market, completing a 2.5-km boardwalk lined with retail, dining, and community spaces.
Prior to construction, this area was home to popular waterfront events, concerts, and gatherings that helped create a strong sense of community. With Pier West now in place, these public spaces are being restored and enhanced, making the waterfront a premier destination once again.
