Nestled at the northwestern tip of the Howe Sound, and surrounded by a spectacular mountain range, Squamish’s reputation as a desirable place to live, work, and play has attracted people from all over the world.
Adding to Squamish’s adventurous, outdoorsy appeal is Oceanfront Squamish: a walkable, mixed-use master-planned community set amongst a breathtaking backdrop of the Stawamus Chief, Shannon Falls, N’chkay, and the Tantalus Range. Matthews West’s overarching vision behind Oceanfront Squamish is grounded in history and built with the future in mind – pushing past the typical definition of mixed-use to create a connected neighbourhood for people and businesses.
Guided by more than a decade of public consultation, this remarkable waterfront community will be home to 100 acres of new homes, businesses, industries, green spaces, and water access on the peninsula, with the 11-acre Sp'akw'us Feather Park at its core.
Along the waterfront, a network of paved pathways connects pedestrians and cyclists to the ocean, in addition to a public beach and 10 new works of public art. With an extensive network of hiking and mountain bike trails at your doorstep, and access to Vancouver or Whistler in under one hour along the scenic Sea-to-Sky Highway, it doesn’t get much better than Oceanfront Squamish.
Oceanfront Squamish’s six walkable, diverse neighbourhoods will prioritize pedestrian access, connectivity, and meaningful spaces for the local community to gather. This community will create space for new industries and generate over 2,500 job opportunities in the District, while green technologies and net-zero carbon targets will firmly establish Oceanfront Squamish as a leader in environmental protection and stewardship.
“From the beginning, [Oceanfront Squamish] has been about building something lasting; something that reflects the values of this place and the people who call it home,” said John Matthews, President of Matthews West. “After more than a decade of listening and learning, we’ve shaped a masterplan that respects the land, celebrates the natural surroundings, and plans for the generations to come. Our hope is simple: That the Oceanfront becomes a place where people feel rooted, connected to each other, to the landscape, and to the spirit of Squamish.”
The Village, the first neighbourhood within Oceanfront Squamish, will introduce an initial offering of 96 oceanfront condos and townhomes in a premier waterfront and parkside location.
Throughout the summer, Oceanfront Squamish is hosting a series of community events to share a first look at what’s coming to this exciting masterplan community.
