False Creek Research Park
False Creek Research Park
Discovery Parks created the False Creek Research Park, consisting of two phases of 75,000 square feet each.
Phase One of False Creek Research Park was developed in 2004 and comprises the headquarters of Angiotech International, a world leader in drug-coated medical devices. This state-of-the building was designed to meet the growing need for purpose-built space for the biotechnology industry. Located in the emerging False Creek Flats, the area is well suited to serve the needs of a fast-growing downtown population. The Angiotech Building was sold to the H&R REIT shortly after completion. The Phase Two land was sold to Angiotech to facilitate their future expansion.

Technology Enterprise Facility 1 was Discovery Parks' first research facility at the University of Victoria. Completed in 2003, this facility was designed with flexibility in mind, as changing space needs of both new and existing tenants can easily be accommodated. This facility has since been acquired by the university in order to house their many research-oriented projects such as the VENUS and NEPTUNE ocean research projects.
