Furry Creek Waterfront Lands and Uplands is a development area that allows for a range of residential and commercial projects. There are subareas within these:

  • Waterfront Neighbourhood
  • Upper Benchlands
  • Northwest and Northeast
  • Collector Lands
  • Marina Neighbourhood
  • Mountain Neighbourhood
  • Uplands North and South

Together with a skilled multi-disciplinary professional team, NSDA has developed overall master plans for the sub-areas. These neighbourhoods include a variety of townhouses, terraced apartments, an amenity building with swimming pool, a general store, a resort boutique hotel, community marina, and a network of public trails. These environmentally and ecologically sensitive lands have required meticulous analysis to assess any impact of the proposed developments.

The professional team includes environmental engineers, civil and geotechnical engineers, arborists and landscape architects. In addition to minimizing and mitigating any environmental impact, the developments have been designed to withstand flooding to a 200-year standard. The master plans have incorporated continuous public walkways along the waterfront with connections back to Furry Creek. The foreshore trail incorporates public seating areas and ends by an observation pier.
