The vision for South Britannia is for a complete, outdoor adventure-focused community on the Howe Sound fjord. Located 50 kilometres north of Vancouver, Canada, Ecosign’s resort master plan proposes a walkable, close-to-nature community featuring residences, a world-class surf park, shops and services, small-scale tourism accommodation, and parks and trails for all to enjoy.
The 269,000 square metre surf park, powered by Wavegarden, will be at the heart of this outdoor adventure-minded community. The world-class, state-of-the-art facility will offer surf training waves for all ages and abilities, welcoming residents and visitors alike. An adjacent adventure park will include a bike pump-track, rock-climbing wall, playground, skate park, and outdoor field for recreation and events. The community’s compact mix of multi-family housing (townhomes, row houses, and low-rise apartments) will help increase housing stock and affordability in the Sea to Sky Corridor. 1,050 homes are proposed, including 150 purpose-built rentals, 50 of which will be at below market rates. The Town Centre – an animated, walkable gathering place near the waterfront – will include shops, restaurants, services, small-scale tourism accommodation such as cabins, glamping sites and a lodge.
