"Dockside Green is a 1.3 million ft2, mixed-use development on a former brownfield site in the heart of Victoria, BC. The first phase, Synergy, includes four buildings constructed over a common underground parking structure. The program for Synergy includes a nine-story residential tower with commercial units on the ground floors; a two-story townhouse building; a six-story building with commercial units on the ground floor and a four-story residential building. The site is bound by roads on the west and north sides; a greenway and creek on the east side; and future development on the south side."—AIA Master plan: Busby Perkins + Will, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and Terence Williams Architect Inc., Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
