BC Building Science was retained by the Owners of Pacific Promenade as the Prime Consultant for a targeted envelope renovation at their building. Located in downtown Vancouver, Pacific Promenade consists of a residential tower at the north of the property, a mid-rise building at the south, connected by a low-rise, 4-storey building which contains two-level townhouse units and apartment units.
Over the years, a number of repairs have been performed at this 22-year-old complex, but the Strata had recently observed a number of leaks, primarily in the mid-rise building, but in the high-rise as well.

Through a process of consultation and various other methods, an architectural design strategy was developed and approved by the Strata. Throughout the course of the project, BCBS provided the following services:
