Honouring the past. Building the future.
Rooted in the ancestral village of Sen̓áḵw, this project marks the return of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) to these traditional lands. Guided by community, culture, and sustainability, this is both a restoration and a new beginning, built to serve generations today and those yet to come.
A design language all our own.
Architecture here is rooted in Sḵwx̱wú7mesh stories, traditions, and land. The Mountain Towers in Phase 1 draw on Coast Salish motifs-organic, curved, open to the sky-with rooftops pointing north to honour the Twin Sisters. The Long Towers in Phase 2 echo the strength of traditional longhouses, their rippling screens rising like salmon leaping and returning. Distinct yet united, the towers carry a deeper intention: to restore balance between land and city, past and future, what was lost and what is reclaimed
A community in balance with the land.
Sen̓áḵw is designed for the people who live here now, and the generations still to come. It is Canada's first large-scale net-zero carbon community, and one of only a few in the world. From its foundations, it is built with low-impact systems, smart infrastructure, and transit-first thinking.
Many hands, one vision.
Sen̓áḵw is built through collaboration. Every partner shares a commitment to honouring Sḵwx̱wú7mesh values, advancing sustainability, and creating a community rooted in belonging.
