Parq Vancouver

The Story

Designed to mimic the natural beauty of British Columbia, the Park Vancouver was completed in 2017 and formerly known as Parq Urban Resort and Casino. Always up for a challenge, EllisDon completed pre-construction and construction management services for New EdgeWater Developments ULC. Positioning was challenging on this build but the now u-shaped buildings are home to two Marriot hotels, the first urban resort in Western Canada with hotels, restaurants, lounges and meeting space adjacent to a stadium – BC Place. Labeled an international entertainment destination, the facility includes a 72,000-sq-ft casino, eight restaurants, bars and lounges; and Canada’s largest hotel ballroom. On the rooftop of the casino complex’s six-storey podium, a large 30,000-sq-ft treed rooftop park features over 200 native pines.
