Transforming a former refinery site into a vibrant community
Port Credit West Village Partners Inc. (PCWVP) purchased a vacant former refinery site in 2017 with a goal of repurposing it into a mixed-used community. It will include 3,000 residential units consisting of townhouse, condominiums, retail space, and parkland.
We were involved in the land acquisition bidding process to create a remediation approach tailored to the development plan. Our team led an environmental due diligence program to address information gaps as part of the property transaction. We also aided in the development of a remediation plan and budget that was required as a condition of sale. The phase two environmental site assessment, remediation, soil management, risk assessment, and geotechnical engineering was initiated in late 2017 and the targeted-remedial excavation was completed over 23 months from 2017 to 2019. Geotechnical engineering investigations and consulting were completed in parallel with environmental tasks and provided support for civil and servicing permitting, and foundation design for individual development blocks.
Our support will continue at the project site as earthworks, servicing, and construction were initiated in 2020 and will extend through 2025.
