TimberWest Announces Relocation to 

Downtown Nanaimo

TimberWest is pleased to announce the relocation of its Nanaimo office to Port Place in downtown Nanaimo this spring. The new location will provide TimberWest’s employees on southern Vancouver Island with a more collaborative and innovative workspace that is scalable and allows room for growth. With this move, TimberWest will be one of the largest private sector employers in downtown Nanaimo.

Consistent with TimberWest's corporate values around the environment, the new office building has been built to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver building standards. LEED is a rating system that is recognized as the international mark of excellence for green building in over 132 countries.

TimberWest has made a long term commitment for the new office space, which is located on the top floor of the recently completed Port Place building. Port Place is located in the heart of downtown Nanaimo’s business community and provides easy access to transportation.

“Our new office will be open and bright, creating a space highly conducive to teamwork,” said Brian Frank, President and CEO of TimberWest. “This move to Port Place reflects our commitment to the City of Nanaimo and to Vancouver Island.”

The move is being welcomed by the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation, whose mandate it is to support the development of a prosperous community through economic opportunity.

“Economic development is not just about attracting new business, but supports the advancement and expansion of those businesses that have made Nanaimo their home,” said Sasha Angus, CEO of the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation. “We are very excited and thankful for TimberWest’s continued growth in our community.”

TimberWest recently celebrated its 20th year in sustainable forest land management, and its activities in Nanaimo and Coastal BC support over 1,000 jobs.
