TKA+D Celebrates Riverworks Winning the 2024 UDI Best Industrial Development Award
We are thrilled to announce that Riverworks, our innovative industrial-office project developed in partnership with Conwest, has been awarded the prestigious 2024 Urban Development Institute (UDI) Awards for Excellence – Best Industrial Development!
This recognition celebrates the bold design and thoughtful functionality that define Riverworks. As the second stacked-industrial and office project we’ve developed with Conwest, following the groundbreaking success of Ironworks in 2018, Riverworks represents a new benchmark in industrial development.
Located along the scenic Fraser River, Riverworks features two distinctive buildings designed to maximize flexibility, functionality, and connection to the surrounding environment:
- South Building: A 4-storey structure with flexible wholesale space on the first two levels, topped by office spaces with sweeping river views on Levels 3 and 4. Generous exterior circulation and suspended balconies add style and practicality, offering shading and enhanced outdoor usability.
- North Building: A complementary 2-storey building offering additional flexible wholesale space with direct grade-level loading access.
Both buildings are connected by a thoughtfully designed loading mews, optimizing accessibility with dedicated loading doors and materials lifts for each space. A rooftop amenity building crowns the south structure, creating an inviting hub for work-life balance.
Riverworks embodies TKA+D’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and elevating industrial development to meet the diverse needs of businesses today. We are incredibly proud of our team, partners, and visionaries who brought this project to life. Together, we’ve crafted a space that sets a new standard for industrial-office design while celebrating the dynamic relationship between functionality and beauty.
