Gateway to Vancouver
The nearby master-planned community of Collingwood Village, built by Concert Properties, is considered a model transit-oriented development that has delivered on expectations for the developer, transit authority, municipality, and the community. However, this did not lead to redevelopment of the area immediately surrounding the Joyce-Collingwood Skytrain station. Now, the City of Vancouver’s Joyce-Collingwood Station Precinct Plan seeks to address this in conjunction with TransLink’s planned upgrade of the station to improve service, add capacity, and accommodate future B Line service to UBC. Joyce by Westbank will be a prominent landmark in the quadrant immediately surrounding the station, helping to create a stronger, more cohesive neighbourhood.
Award-winning Vancouver architect, Henriquez Partners, has created a unique building design inspired by the metaphoric quilting of ideas and cultures in Renfrew-Collingwood, overlaid with a river pattern on the facade that speaks to the environs of the Fraser estuary. Offering commercial opportunities at grade and a range of living spaces above, Joyce will play a leading role in meeting the neighbourhood’s needs for more housing opportunities, improved public life, and better access to transit.

Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester (UK) has been undergoing a complete renovation over the past few years. The world-renowned specialist music school’s state of the art new school building was completed in 2012, and just this week the latest addition, The Stoller Concert Hall, (pictured above) will open its doors. Intended for professional touring artists and for Manchester’s professional and amateur musicians, Stoller Hall will host a dynamic, imaginative programme of music and spoken word.
