With completion just weeks away, we are excited to get to know more about the purchasers who will make up the HOUSS community! The building will be home to a diverse range of businesses from tech and creative firms, manufacturing, medical uses, and more.

Dr. Gina Tsai and Dr. Godfrey Lam of the Vancouver Coastal Allergy & Immunology will be one of the groups moving their business to the Mount Pleasant community. We recently spoke to Dr. Tsai to get to know her better and learn why she chose HOUSS for their business…

 

Can you tell us about your business?

Dr. Tsai: We are a group of specialists in clinical immunology and allergy.

 

What were some of the key features that led to your decision to purchase at HOUSS?

Dr. Tsai: Prior to making an offer on HOUSS, we had been searching for approximately six months and couldn’t find any suitable options. HOUSS meets all of our requirements because of its central Vancouver location, proximity to our current office, appropriate size, and the zoning permitting medical office use.

 

What are you most looking forward to when it comes time to moving in?

Dr. Tsai: Bigger space. Our current office is built for two physicians, and we have another physician interested in joining us. We were looking for a space that would provide us with the flexibility to accommodate more patients and up to four physicians.

 

Why was purchasing the right move for your business?

Dr. Tsai: Our rent has continued to increase over the past few years. We have been renting office space for the last four to eight years, with one office move each. Now that we have built-up some capital, we felt it was time to put down roots, purchase, and build our own space.

 

What drew you to Mount Pleasant?

Dr. Tsai: The proximity to public transit and amenities, yet the area is somewhat shielded from the hustle and bustle of the Broadway corridor. I personally think Dr. Lam agreed to buy because of all the nearby bakeries!

The HOUSS site is bustling with activity as the on-site crews work diligently towards completion of the project this summer.

The major milestone last week was the Coulter House’s move back to site. The house was moved back from its temporary location overnight on March 29 and 30. Wood bracing was installed to ensure the structure would remain intact during its move. Once the house was in position on-site, the team removed the steel beams, wood bracing, and jacking equipment and lowered the house onto the foundation. The Coulter House is now undergoing fresh exterior and interior paint, in addition to the reinstallation of the porch. More work will continue inside the house to fully finish the restoration.

 

 

 

The crew has been busy installing the interior drywall of the building, now completed up to the fourth floor. The main floor washroom tile is now installed, with the lobby next on the list for its final finishes. Painting is also underway for the interior walls, as well as in the underground parkade.

 

 

NEXT STEPS

In addition to work on the house restoration, the team is focused on completing the building envelope cladding and finalizing the elevator work, with the final drywalling being completed. The surrounding landscaping plan is scheduled to start at the end of April.

We are excited to share new construction progress photos of HOUSS.

With occupancy scheduled for this summer, the on-site team has been busy installing the glazing, removing the shoring along the south property line, and installing the mechanical and electrical rough-in work. The installation of the rail and hoist system for the elevators is well underway and both cabs have been constructed.

 

 

This month also marked a significant milestone with the completion of the top floor. Future occupiers will enjoy stunning views of the North Shore mountains and Downtown Vancouver from the common outdoor patio on Level 5. Spacious, private decks are included with a number of units on Levels 3, 4 and 5.

 

 

NEXT STEPS

The next phase of construction will include the completion of the cladding and glazing on the south side of the building, individual office units will start to take shape with the installation of the steel stud framing and drywall, and there is ongoing restoration work at the heritage house prior to its move back to the site in early spring.

It has been a busy few weeks at HOUSS. With occupancy scheduled for Summer 2021, the project has reached a major construction milestone with the removal of the construction crane. As seen in the timelapse below, our on-site team of trained rigging professionals utilized a large mobile crane to carefully disassemble individual sections of the tower crane.

 

 

Throughout the day, the crane was removed starting with the main boom and cab followed by the removal of the tower and base. Safety was paramount as sections of the crane weigh thousands of pounds.

 

 

The construction team has also been working to remove the supportive shores and have started installing glazing on the south side of the building.

 

 

NEXT STEPS

The next phase of construction will include mechanical and electrical rough-in work up to Level 4, preparing for the installation of the elevators, completing the roof and undergoing final restoration works at the heritage house prior to its move back to the site.

We are excited to share that our onsite crew have reached another major construction milestone at HOUSS: the pouring of the roof slab – which marks the completion of the building’s structural stage of construction.

 

For the past two weeks our team carefully prepared the building for the pour. This step of construction required building a temporary framework and reinforcing it with steel. Although the concrete pour took only one day of work, it involved a number of large concrete trucks and a pump truck to get the concrete up to the roof.

 

 

After being placed, the concrete was finished both by hand and with a power trowel – which looks like a large fan blade and provides a uniform finish to the concrete.

 

 

This roofing process is a crucial step – once the roof is finished, the structural stage of the building is complete and the supportive shores can be removed. This also means that the crane can be removed and the exterior and interior finishes can begin.

 

 

The next steps at HOUSS will include waterproofing and completing the building envelope, which includes installing the glazing, metal cladding and roofing materials.

Stay tuned for the final construction phase!

Summer has been busy on the HOUSS site! With occupancy on schedule for Spring 2021 and 35% sold, Mount Pleasant is buzzing about the new development on West 6th.

We’ve recently achieved a few construction milestones with the pour of the slab on the 4th and 5th floors and the completion of the elevator core up to the 5th floor. The construction team is now working on completing the concrete finishing from the parkade up.

 

 

The crew is also moving through the building, completing the installation of the electrical and mechanical systems. Many groups must work simultaneously installing the plumbing, elevators, heating & air-conditioning systems as well as the newly delivered substation, which will supply all the power to the building.

 

 

 

This month we will see a couple major changes on site and HOUSS will continue to take shape with the completion of the roof and the removal of the tower crane.

Stay tuned for more updates!
