On June 4, 2024, the City of Chilliwack Council officially approved a new 3-storey commercial development at 8460 Young Road, designed by Surf Architecture. This project will revitalize a long-vacant site in the city’s Urban Corridor, bringing new commercial retail space and a 1,012 m² dental office to the community.
The building's modern design, which includes significant glazing, rooftop amenities, and extensive landscaping with 25 trees, was praised for its alignment with the city’s Urban Corridor Design Guidelines. Additionally, the project incorporates key elements of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), ensuring the safety and well-being of future occupants and the surrounding community.
With this approval, the development is set to move into the construction phase, contributing to the ongoing growth and improvement of Chilliwack’s urban landscape.
