Outlined below are the steps completed in the redevelopment process:
- Pre-construction and condition surveys
- Safety perimeter fencing installation including fencing panels designed to recognize the traditional territories of the lək ̓ ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) Peoples and to educate and inform the public about the cultural and historical significance of the area to Esquimalt and Songhees Nations
- Site entrance was widened to support future construction activities and a safe pedestrian crossing from Laurel Point pathway to the south side of Belleville Street
- Major utility disconnections
- Demolition activity including removal of the previous Clipper wharf, previous Clipper terminal and previous US Customs and Border Protection office building
- As is standard practice, cultural and archaeological monitors from local First Nations were on-site to ensure Indigenous cultural heritage was respected and protected. No new archaeological sites were found.
