Dockside Green, Mixed-use development in Victoria, Canada
Dockside Green is a mixed-use development along Victoria's Inner Harbor featuring residential buildings, retail spaces, offices, and public areas. The site connects different functions along the waterfront in a single integrated community layout.
The site was formerly a contaminated industrial area that underwent major cleanup work in the early 2000s to become a sustainable community. This transformation marked a turning point in how the harbor area is used today.
The site honors Songhees heritage through art installations and design elements visible in communal spaces. These visual elements tell local stories and connect visitors to the Indigenous community.
The area is easy to explore on foot with clearly marked pathways throughout the waterfront. Public spaces are accessible from multiple entrances, and parking is available near the development.
A central biomass gasification plant converts waste wood into heating gas that powers both the development and nearby buildings. This system makes the site energy independent while recycling wood that would otherwise go to waste.
