The Vancouver Innovation Center (VIC): A Premier Industrial Flex Space Development

The VIC is the Pacific Northwest's newest iconic mixed-use community. It comprises 700,000 square feet of office, flex, and light industrial space and recreational amenities in a campus setting.

We are a fast-growing technology company, and our facilities are a mission-critical aspect of
our business. The New Blueprint team is extremely responsive, thoughtful, and considerate of
our needs. I consider them a trusted partner ensuring that we have the required infrastructure to
facilitate a unique period of growth for our company.

Background:

The VIC is a former Hewlett Packard campus developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The 179-acre campus is home to a 700,000-square-foot suite of office, flex, and manufacturing spaces. In the 1990s, the campus housed more than 3,000 workers and was designed with amenities ncluding fully functional kitchens, a gym, an interior courtyard basketball court, volleyball courts, and softball fields. New Blueprint Partners and Rabina acquired the VIC in October 2020.

Challenge:

The VIC was originally built on farmland, located within a sparsely populated area of East Vancouver, Washington. During the past 30 years, the area surrounding the VIC developed into a densely populated community containing substantial retail and residential properties. These changes mean the site, which was originally zoned for industrial development, became an incongruous and under-utilized island disconnected from its surrounding community.

Solution:

The solution to this challenge is the new vision for the VIC crafted by New Blueprint Partners and Rabina. This vision will ultimately transform the 179 acres of industrial land into a new, sustainable, 20-minute mixed-use neighborhood. The full buildout is anticipated to provide 5,000-6,000 commercial jobs and upwards of 1,200 new housing units. The campus preserves 14.6 acres of existing forested area, providing three times the required open space, and creates a new downtown center with restaurants, public open spaces, and residential living.
