The Paramount Project is a joint affordable housing development between the BC government and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the City of Chilliwack, and Chilliwack Community Services, which operates on the building’s first two floors. The six-storey, mixed-use structure features concrete office and commercial retail spaces on the first and second floors, with 66 wood-frame residential suites on the top four levels, along with lounge areas and laundry facilities.
The Paramount connects young adults leaving the child welfare system with seniors in the community, cultivating an informal network of support between generations and addressing a need for community and connections. By developing multi-use spaces that combine office, retail, and residential areas, we can create more affordable, walkable, and connected communities.
