CENTURY GROUP SOUTHLANDS
Tsawwassen, British Columbia
SOUTHLANDS IS A COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN FOR A 537-ACRE SITE IN TSAWWASSEN, BC.
The plan includes 430 acres of agricultural land and related infrastructure to support a range of scales of urban agriculture, environmentally sensitive areas, protected habitat, and a network of publicly accessible parks and greenways. The balance of 107 acres is designed to accommodate 950 dwellings in a wide range of housing types; these dwellings will be arranged in a village focused around a working farmstead that includes a public farmers’ market and square, community building, organic community garden, heritage house, and barns. The core of the village includes a retail high street with residential above, as well as a mix of small and large cottages, multi-dwelling manor houses, row houses, apartment-style
residences, and live-work studios. When completed, this master-planned community will be one of the leading examples of its kind in Canada.
SURREY CITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION CENTRE BLOCK
Surrey, British Columbia
A MASTER-PLANNING AND FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE CENTRAL BLOCK IN THE CIVIC CORE THAT INCLUDES TRANSIT PLANNING AND URBAN DESIGN FOR 1,000,000 SF OF MARKET AND RENTAL RESIDENTIAL, A COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTRE, RECREATION AND FITNESS, EDUCATION, OFFICE AND RETAIL, AND PUBLIC OPEN SPACES.
The project included responding to the relocation of bus transit service and intermodal connections to SkyTrain and future at-grade light rail and exploring the opportunities to connect the existing SFU/Central City retail and office complex to the south with the new civic precinct to the north. The concept is to develop a broad range of private and public uses on the site focused on community wellness. Student-oriented rental residential would be
supplemented with office and street-oriented retail at grade in an effort to not duplicate the significant private, market residential developments in the surrounding area. The intended result is a vibrant core for the emerging residents, office workers, students and visitors to the City Centre. The public open space concept seeks to engage the transit station and celebrate it as the hinge-point along the spine of public open space that connects the four blocks of the civic core. Active uses and thoughtful planning will be required to create a successful pedestrian-oriented environment that is completely integrated with the patterns of movement and life in the City Centre. Like the iconic train stations at the heart of many European cities, this station and connecting open space have the potential to elevate Surrey Centre Station and Centre Block to be the nucleus of one of Canada’s most dynamic urban centres.
CENTURY GROUP 3 CIVIC PLAZA
Surrey, British Columbia
RISING TO 52 STOREYS AND HOME TO WESTERN CANADA’S FIRST MARRIOTT AUTOGRAPH COLLECTION HOTEL, 3 CIVIC PLAZA IS SET TO LEAVE ITS MARK AS THE FINAL PIECE TO THE CITY OF SURREY’S NEW CIVIC PLAZA.
The tallest tower south of the Fraser River, 3 Civic Plaza features 353 residential units, a 144-room hotel, a rooftop garden, state-of-the-art fitness facility, and a sweeping ‘great room’-style central lobby that unites the building’s many uses. 3 Civic Plaza has been innovatively designed to complement its surroundings while adding an iconic quality to Surrey’s emerging City Centre. Establishing a vision for the project was very much a forward-thinking exercise: not simply a matter of responding to the existing context of the area, but to envision the Civic Plaza of the future.
Part of the unique challenge in this was to determine a mix of uses that would appropriately respond not only to the existing City Centre, but to what that City Centre is going to be years from now. The particular challenge of structurally-different uses was addressed through a unique solution: an innovative external concrete shear wall with distinctive window openings. The building element allowed for flexibility in planning the configuration of space, circulation, and structure to best suit each use. And this is but one of the project’s unique features. In addition, the integration of natural ventilation, hydronic heating, and connection to a district energy system improve human comfort and are sustainable design strategies.
CENTURY GROUP HOLLAND POINTE
Surrey, British Columbia
AN ICONIC PROJECT OCCUPYING A 4-ACRE SITE ON KING GEORGE BOULEVARD ADJACENT TO HOLLAND PARK.
The project features residential units with podiumlevel retail, commercial and a public art gallery. The completed project will form the southern gateway to the emerging downtown core of Surrey. The intersection of King George Boulevard and 98B Avenue is emerging as a major node in the City Centre. It stands at the crossroads of the city’s major public transportation systems and networks, supported by the redevelopment of all of the surrounding lands into a thriving residential, retail and commercial precinct.
The large floor-plates are configured to accommodate office work groups and be flexible to combine smaller groups to optimize the benefits of co-location. The rooftop above the podium office space provides an outdoor amenity space with south exposure and exceptional protected views of the park, city centre and metro region beyond.
WESTSTONE PROPERTIES URBAN VILLAGE
Surrey, British Columbia
A 10-ACRE HIGH-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL MASTER PLAN IN CITY CENTRE.
The Urban Village master plan required extensive planning of phasing, servicing, and infrastructure to bring 26 individual parcels into the development. The resulting concept creates strong definition of surrounding streets, breaks down the block with public pathways and new streets and programs a wide variety of types of public open space amenities. Urban Village includes the Ultra high-rise and Agenda and Element 4-storey wood frame buildings. Ultra is a soaring 36-storey tower with two groups of 2-storey townhouses located in the heart of the Urban Village master plan. Standing just west of the Central City SkyTrain station, Ultra is situated along a
pedestrian-scaled internal street and offers a southfacing courtyard adjoining the open space from previous phases to form a landscaped outdoor amenity space for residents. Agenda and Element are communities of 135 and 71 condominiums, studios and two-storey townhomes. The architectural expression is residential, but with an urban aesthetic, using brick and metal siding in a series of contrasting and overlapping planes wrapped around the building. The buildings frame a lush courtyard – complete with play area – that serves as an outdoor amenity space for residents.

HINES FOURTH & MADISON
Seattle, Washington
WORKING WITH HINES, ZGF DESIGNED THIS 38-STORY, 1,200,000 SF MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT, WHICH PROVIDES OFFICE SPACE, RETAIL, AND 637 UNDERGROUND PARKING SPACES, AND HAS RECEIVED AN ENERGY STAR AWARD.
Primary objectives for the design of the Fourth & Madison tower were to maximize the size and efficiency of the individual floor plates, to create an architectural expression that distinguished the building from its taller neighbors in Seattle’s financial district, to respect the adjacent historic YMCA, and to relate to each of the four surrounding streets, as well as take full advantage of 360 degree views of the city. Working closely with the City of Seattle Design Review Board, ZGF was sensitive to appropriate scaling and massing of the building, introducing design
features that improved the quality of the project from a civic and marketplace perspective, with minimal impact on the surrounding buildings. The building plan takes advantage of the site’s steep slope by providing through-block shopping arcade connections in both north-south and east-west directions, with major building lobbies located on each street bordering the site. The massing of the building is expressed as two intersecting towers—a 38-story tower sited on the north half of the block, and a lower 32-story tower on the south side of the site.
DANIELS REAL ESTATE FIFTH + COLUMBIA
Seattle, Washington
ZGF’S DESIGN FOR THE 43-STORY FIFTH + COLUMBIA TOWER, LOCATED IN THE HEART OF SEATTLE’S FINANCIAL DISTRICT, IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE A SUSTAINABLE WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT FOR TENANTS, AND TO BRING A FRESH, CONTEMPORARY SILHOUETTE TO THE SEATTLE SKYLINE.
This project involved a unique design approach that maximizes development potential while preserving the adjacent historic First United Methodist Church and Rainier Club, and creating public open space. The 750,000 SF tower is designed to be highly visible throughout the city, rising gracefully toward the sky, subtly sloping over the historic structures, and tapering back gently through a sequence of triangular building planes. At the tower’s base, the modest and highly
transparent entrance lobby complements the sanctuary and Rainier Club by providing a public walkway and beautifully landscaped courtyard between the buildings. The program includes ground floor retail, a hill climb, expanded athletic space for the Rainier Club, and office and residential spaces. A 184-room boutique hotel will be located on floors two through 15, and will contain 30,000 SF of restaurant and bar space, a health spa, and 20,000 SF of ballroom space for large meetings and events. The tower has been designed to achieve LEED-Gold certification, with sustainable features that include rooftop photovoltaic panels and a rainwater reclamation system.
GERDING EDLEN DEVELOPMENT TWELVE | WEST MIXED-USE BUILDING
Portland, Oregon
RISING 22 STORIES ABOVE PORTLAND, OREGON’S EVOLVING WEST END NEIGHBORHOOD, TWELVE | WEST IS A 550,000 SF MIXED-USE BUILDING DESIGNED BY ZGF TO SERVE AS A LABORATORY FOR SUSTAINABLE DESIGN AND WORKPLACE STRATEGIES.
The double LEED-Platinum certified building features street-level retail space, four floors of office space that serve as ZGF’s headquarters, 17 floors of apartments, and five levels of below-grade parking. The building has an eco-roof, a rooftop garden and terrace space, a complete fitness studio, and a theatre. Four wind turbines sit prominently atop the building representing the first U.S. installation of a wind turbine array on an urban, high-rise. Twelve | West serves as not only an anchor in a rapidly transforming urban neighborhood,
but also as a demonstration project to inform future sustainable building design. The building is located immediately south of Portland’s well-known Pearl District—an acclaimed urban renewal district that is considered a model of live, work, and play mixed-use development. Twelve | West’s site was selected in part to serve as a catalyst for additional transformation in the West End neighborhood. The goal is to create a significant retail and pedestrian connection to the Central Business District in the southeast and the mixed-use neighborhoods to the north and west of the West End.
FOUR WIND TURBINES produce 10–12,000 kWh of electricity per year. Monitoring of wind conditions and turbine performance will improve knowledge for future projects. SOLAR THERMAL panels heat 24% of hot water used in the building, offsetting natural gas use.
ROOF GARDENS clean, detain and filter rainwater and significantly reduce roof temperatures in warmer months.
LOW-E GLASS admits 55% of visible sunlight but reflects 70% of the associated heat, reducing energy use for lighting and space cooling.
EFFICIENT CENTRAL COOLING plant in the nearby Brewery Blocks provides chilled water for space cooling.
WATER-EFFICIENT PLUMBING FIXTURES help reduce water use by more than 44%. RAINWATER HARVESTING piping gathers 273,000 gallons of rainwater from the roofs.
CONDENSATION of 13,000 gallons of water from the air handler system will collect during summer months.
RAINWATER RE-USE in toilet flushing on the office floors, and to irrigate the green roofs, reduces use of city water by 286,000 gallons per year.
WATER STORAGE TANK temporarily stores up to 22,000 gallons of rainwater and condensation for re-use.
OPERABLE WINDOWS provide occupants fresh air, cooling, and a connection to the outdoors.
DAYLIGHT SENSORS switch off electric lights when there is ample daylight, reducing lighting energy use by 60%.
EXPOSED CONCRETE moderates indoor air temperatures. Mass is cooled with cool night air in the summer months and absorbs excess heat throughout the day. PASSIVE / CHILLED BEAMS provide energyefficient cooling on the hottest days.
UNDER-FLOOR AIR DISTRIBUTION efficiently delivers moderate temperature air directly to occupants. Personal adjustable floor vents provide control over ventilation.
CARROLL INVESTMENTS LLC THE ELIOT TOWER
Portland, Oregon
ZGF, IN ASSOCIATION WITH ANKROM MOISAN, DESIGNED THIS 18-STORY RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM TOWER AND PLAZA IN PORTLAND’S GROWING WEST END DISTRICT.
Overlooked for decades, this mixed-use area is undergoing a renaissance of new housing spawned by Portland’s keen interest in urban living, nearby cultural venues like the revitalized Portland Art Museum, and new streetcar service that links the area to other emerging districts in the central city. The Eliot Tower is the tallest building in the West End. The 362,406 SF building consists of two levels of below-grade parking, and 223 condominiums with units ranging in size from 518 SF to 2,982 SF. The first floor includes 10,000 SF of retail space with direct access from sidewalks. There are also two-story townhouses with convenient access
from the street. The project’s design features an aluminum and glass curtain wall with glass planes of multiple sizes that combine for a proportionate, abstract effect. The Eliot Tower achieved LEED-Silver certification under the LEED for Neighborhood Development pilot program. With its location, size, and diversity of activity, the building has become a catalyst for the area’s social, economic, and cultural transformation.

CIVIC SAN DIEGO / CITY OF SAN DIEGO SAN DIEGO CIVIC CENTER COMPLEX / CITY HALL
CENTRE CITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, IN COOPERATION WITH THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO, HELD A DESIGN COMPETITION FOR A NEW THREE-PHASE, 3,000,000 SF MIXED-USE AND CIVIC CENTER COMPLEX IN SAN DIEGO’S CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT, FOR WHICH ZGF WAS TEAMED WITH GERDING EDLEN DEVELOPMENT.
The team sought to achieve the goals of this public / private partnership by providing new administration facilities for the city, and developing an exciting highdensity, urban mixed-use complex on four prime city blocks in downtown San Diego. The plan was selected based on a design that includes opening up the site, and allowing the now blocked vistas to be reclaimed and reconnected to the urban fabric. The plan proposes reopening B Street and Second Avenue between A and
San Diego, California
B Streets to vehicular traffic, reconnecting the Civic Center with the neighborhood, and also making the Complex more accessible and welcoming for retail uses. Plazas, fountains, landscaped pedestrian promenades, and pocket courtyards are the backdrop to this active center for civic and everyday life. From its solar photovoltaic panels and garden rooftops to wind turbines and a central cooling and heating plant, the proposed new City Hall Complex, along with mixed-use buildings and shared below-grade parking, will reflect the community’s vision. The building was designed to exceed LEED-Platinum certification.
