The Oceanfront Squamish development is poised to transform our community with a comprehensive plan that seamlessly integrates residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. Covering 100 acres, this project aims to create a vibrant extension of Downtown Squamish, providing new homes, businesses, industries, green spaces, and improved water access on the peninsula.
A Vision for a Complete Community
Driven by over a decade of public consultation, the master plan prioritizes walkable, diverse neighbourhoods that meet various needs, ensuring social and economic sustainability. The development will introduce more than 2,500 new homes, accommodating approximately 7,000 residents, and is projected to generate around 2,500 jobs. Notable features include an 11-acre Oceanfront Park at the heart of the community, along with an additional 14 acres of public space and greenways.
Environmental Stewardship and Resilience
A commitment to environmental sustainability lies at the core of this project. Initiatives such as shoreline protection, habitat restoration, and the implementation of mass timber construction highlight a dedication to maintaining the natural beauty of Squamish while addressing future challenges like sea-level rise.
Sp’akw’us Feather Park: A Community Milestone
A significant highlight is the completion of Sp’akw’us Feather Park, an 11-acre municipally-owned park realized through collaboration between Matthews West, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), and the District of Squamish. The park features art installations by local artists, a playground designed in collaboration with Indigenous youth, slackline posts, open green spaces, and cultural gardens, creating a lively community gathering space.
Embracing the Spirit of Squamish
Oceanfront Squamish is more than just a development; it embodies a community shaped by the Sea-to-Sky’s iconic rivers, mountains, and coastline.
