DO BUSINESS IN THE SHIPYARDS DISTRICT

The Shipyards District is Metro Vancouver’s newest waterfront community, and one of the best places to do business, thanks to a revitalization plan that has seen the area transform from industrial to impressive.

Found a space and need help with the permitting?  We have some member businesses like Zimba Design that can help you through the building permit process.

The enhancements and changes are happening at a frenetic pace resulting in a picturesque historic community flourishing with plenty of seaside eateries, indie shops and modern services. The City of North Vancouver’s vision has created a district full of people strolling the streets, parks, boardwalks, piers, enjoying a new alfresco dining culture and year-round programming.

The Shipyards District is:

Open & Genuine
Urban & Connected
Ambitious
Creatively Independent
Festive & Youthful

CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

The Shipyards District is in the unique position of enjoying many major public capital development projects as well as increased and ongoing residential densification. From the opening of The Polygon Gallery and The Shipyards, to the creation of new wide-open public gathering spaces, completion of the 6.5 kilometre Pacific Trail, increased and enhanced public transit and environmental programs, to the future creation of a Brewery Precinct, a museum and a third hotel, these large-scale development projects are economic drivers that will attract visitors and media attention on a scale never before seen in the district.

The 2018-2022 City of North Vancouver Council Strategic Plan, A Prosperous City, supports a diverse economy by creating an environment where new and existing businesses can grow and thrive. Council is commited to making the City a destination of choice for economic development by supporting the local business community to increase the number of jobs and business opportunities and to improve services to our residents.
