Olympic Village Whistler

Description:

• Snuggled into the Cheakamus Valley just north of Whistler, the Olympic Village was sustainably designed and built with LEED Gold Standard Neighborhood Development certification in mind. The village will fill to a capacity of 2850 with the Winter Olympics and after wards host 1200 for the Winter Paralympics. The community is bordered by the Cheakamus Creek and accessible only by bridge, yet is within a 20-minute shuttle ride to all the competition venues throughout Whistler. After the Olympics, the Village will become training and housing for athletes who participate in both winter and summer sports. Several of the units will also become affordable housing for area families.
