FIRST WEST CREDIT UNION

SIZE: 130,000 SF
VALUE: $75,000,000
COMPLETED: 2020

Located at 200th and 88 Avenue in Langley, the 6-storey building is home to First West Credit Union, with mixed retail, commercial, and office tower space. ETRO's scope included the build as well as the interior fit-out of the lobby space and gym. ETRO worked closely with the client throughout the tendering process to ensure financial targets were met during estimation and created creative solutions to value engineer the project while engaging local trades with known track records.

Developed by PCI Developments, and with MCM Architects, the tower houses 30,000 SF of mixed-use space on the ground floor, and 100,000 SF of office on levels 2 to 6, with ample parking above and below ground. Navigating unforeseen soil conditions early on in the process, ETRO brought in consultants who created an agile solution to mitigate time loss and meet architectural requirements. Using measures to keep the schedule on track, like implementing BIM technology to detect any potential clashes prior to installing prefabricated exterior elements, the project was completed on time.
