The Arc
The Arc, located at the Cambie Street Bridge entrance into downtown Vancouver, is a 28 storey, mixed-use development, comprised of two separate towers connecting through a glass bottom swimming pool rejoining the last 8 floors to comprise a single building.
Civil engineering requirements included new development service connections and frontage improvements along Pacific Boulevard, Nelson Street, and Expo Boulevard consisting of sidewalk and boulevard works. City staff wanted the inclusion of a street tree within the hardscape island along Expo Boulevard, which required a unique drainage system and permeable pavers to facilitate improved watering within the surrounding hardscape.
