‘Duck Island represents one of the largest economic development project in Richmond, since the building of YVR’ – developer
A huge redevelopment of the current Richmond Night Market site on Duck Island is afoot, with Richmond city council rezoning the site earlier this month. The developer, who’s owned the site since 2011, is proposing a “tourist and entertainment destination,” with five-star hotels, shopping, a marina, and a conference centre. The Night Market could stay on as a tenant, according to the developer.
The site of Richmond’s Night Market could become home to a $4-billion development to turn the land into a year-round tourist and entertainment destination.
Earlier this month, Richmond city council approved rezoning the land from industrial to high-rise, commercial and institutional use, and a public hearing will be held on Tuesday.
Article content The site, almost eight hectares (20 acres), would house 3.4 million square feet of mixed-use space if developed, including five-star hotels, an entertainment district, shopping, a 300-slip marina, and conference centre.
