New ILWU Hall progress reaches street level


Those travelling along Second Avenue West are getting a daily glimpse of the progress for the new ILWU Hall with the project now set to move above street level at the Corner of First Avenue West and Eighth Street. 

The project which broke ground in April of 2023 has already seen some significant work take place at the site adjacent to the Highliner Hotel and Conference Centre.

The project which was focused on the ground level foundation and prep work deep down into the property over the last ten months,  is now ready to make the climb above street level

How the ILWU Hall build site looks today

The structure which will be three storeys high and make for close to 10,000 square feet marks one of a few major construction projects that are underway this year, a hopeful sign of some regeneration for the downtown core.


There have not been any updates since the groundbreaking, the last timeline noted was for completion of the building for a 2025 opening.

Some of the past notes on the project can be reviewed below:
