Focal on 3rd, an 8-storey building on a slim 50’ x120’ lot in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant neighbourhood, exemplifies the next iteration of urban industrial buildings. This neighbourhood located close to the downtown core is rapidly transforming from low-rise industrial warehouses to high-density buildings. The project not only retains light industrial uses, it increases the amount of industrial area at grade and provides offices for digital entertainment and information technology uses above, to create a new high-density, hybrid industrial typology.
