The 10.7 acre site was the site of their first shipping facility, with a rich history of supporting commerce and trade in Washington, as a site for shipbuilding during World War I, and in later years as a waterfront hotel and conference center. The iconic waterfront location offers visual and physical access to the Columbia River, and is directly adjacent to the Vancouver Waterfront development that has transformed the industrial areas and revitalized the district between Downtown Vancouver and the river with shops, housing, parklands, and the iconic Grant Street Pier.
