The 402 West Pender project exemplifies the essence of heritage preservation. At its core, this project embodies the profound benefits of preserving heritage buildings. Beyond merely safeguarding historical structures, heritage preservation fosters a profound sense of shared history while enriching the fabric of existing neighborhoods.

The challenges encountered during the ex*****on of the 402 W Pender project underscore the project’s resilience and commitment to excellence. Operating within a bustling, high-traffic locale around a fully operational building demanded meticulous attention to site safety and structural integrity.

Despite facing adversities ranging from severe winter weather to unexpected encounters with seagulls, the team’s unwavering resolve culminated in a remarkable achievement, recognized by the City of Vancouver with the prestigious 2023 Heritage Conservation Award.

Our ETRO Care Bears took home the award for Best Dressed Team at KidSafe’s annual Pancake Breakfast competition! Although our construction-themed pancakes missed the podium, we had an amazing time connecting with the kids and the community.

Providing a safe space for over 800 children from our local community, also offers meals, extracurricular activities, and mentorship.

Thank you so much for having us again this year, and a big shout out to , .ca, .bros, and for supporting our team by donating to this great cause. We look forward to more volunteer and fundraising opportunities, including the upcoming summer Golf Tournament.

In 2022, we breathed new life into Vancouver’s beloved Muro Tower (formerly Berkeley Tower) overlooking English Bay.

In 1958, Berkeley Tower rose as Vancouver’s first West End residential high-rise. Rather than demolish this historic landmark, the 16-storey building underwent extensive renovations including a seismic upgrade, full fire sprinkler system installation, and building code updates. All rental units were completely gutted and refitted with new fixtures, finishes, and floor-to-ceiling windows to embrace breathtaking English Bay views. A new mural on the exterior by renowned artist Douglas Coupland, described by him as a “distinctive combination of colourful geometric patterns that are at once old-fashioned yet futuristic,” brings a new vibrance to the building and the surrounding area.

Our ETRO Revive services include turn-key design-build solutions, and delivering renovations and restorations rooted in sustainability with special attention to retaining the character of existing buildings.
