1313 East Pender

Vancouver, BC

A five-storey mixed-use building that flexibly accommodates retail, wholesale, light industrial and office spaces. 1313 Pender is located minutes from downtown Vancouver in the dynamic Clark Drive corridor. The structure is primarily reinforced concrete, including two levels of underground parking and three levels above grade that can accommodate heavy live loads. The top two levels of the building offer premium office space constructed from mass timber.

ASPECT is the Structural Engineer of Record for this project. The mass timber design approach accommodated the use of ribbed CLT panels to achieve longer floor and roof spans. The longer spans allowed for larger CLT panels, which in turn minimized the overall number of elements requiring erection at these levels. The office units are enhanced with a vast, landscaped terrace at the fourth level and large, covered exterior decks on the fifth level.
