NATIVE SHOES WATER STREET

SIZE: 970 SF
VALUE: $911,000
COMPLETION: 2017

The second project in partnership with Native Shoes and designer Andrea Greenway, ETRO was awarded the tenant improvement for Native’s first brick-and-mortar retail location in Vancouver’s iconic Gastown. Performing their work in a high-traffic retail district, and after a slight demolition from a previous tenant that took the finishes back to the shell, ETRO teams expertly completed the custom build-out in this 970 square foot space.

Navigating a late award and tight schedule—along with a handful of challenges throughout the project—ETRO crews leaned into their network of skilled sub-trades, relied on constant and transparent communication, and sourced as many products locally to reduce delivery time in an effort to mitigate delays and problem solve in the moment. Pulling out all the stops (and an all nighter), the team proudly handed over the keys to the client on the day of anticipated delivery.
