MARITIME MUSEUM OF BC MOVES FORWARD WITH NEXT  
PHASE OF THE PACIFIC MARITIME CENTRE  

On February 25, 2020, the City of Langford and the Maritime
Museum of BC entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the proposed
construction of the Pacific Maritime Centre (PMC) that includes a new
state-of-the-art Maritime Museum, office tower and conference centre that will be located at 790 McCallum Road.  

The Maritime Museum of British Columbia is pleased to
announce that Coldwell Banker Commercial Oceanside Real Estate has been hired
to represent the Museum's interests in identifying tenants for the office tower
within the PMC. The proposed leasing
project consists of up to 90,000 sq. ft. of AAA office space that will consist
of six 15,000 sq. ft. floor plates. The building is expected to provide a state-of-the-art
air handling system, free onsite parking, and onsite daycare services.  

The Mayor of Langford, Stew Young, stated that, "this
project will create several new iconic attractions for the City and region, aligns
with Council’s commitment to enhance arts and cultural opportunities in
Langford, and supports Council’s vision to create more commercial office space
so residents don’t have to commute outside the City for work. We are really
excited about this project and look forward to moving forward with next steps.” 

The overall project is on its way to becoming 'shovel-ready' and
is expected to generate hundreds of short-term construction jobs and several
new full and part-time jobs in the community. The
proposed 80,000 sq. ft. Maritime Museum will house the entire artefact
collection as well as a state-of-the-art immersive planetarium theatre and
observational lighthouse designed sky-deck.  

John Clarkson,
Chairperson of the Maritime Museum of BC stated that, "this is a major
step forward for the overall project. The Museum is looking for long-term
lessees’ such as federal and provincial departments, crown corporations,
educational institutions, NGO's or private professional corporations. The
commercial realtor company is responsible for serving as the intermediary between
the MMBC and perspective tenants."  

Chris Troke and John Morris, from Coldwell Banker Commercial
Oceanside Real Estate, are honoured to be involved in helping the Maritime
Museum of BC complete their vision and look forward to working with them on
this ambitious project. In the coming weeks, they will be looking for
expressions of interest from government, NGO's and the business community
regarding leasing opportunities. Interested parties are encouraged to reach out
for more information.  
   David Leverton, Executive Director of the Maritime
Museum of BC highlighted that, "the office tower is a strategically
important part of the overall Pacific Maritime Centre project, as it will
enable the project to be more financially sustainable and independent.”
