The Met is a contemporary multi-family residential development located within Nanaimo’s Pleasant Valley neighbourhood, positioned near the commercial heart of North Nanaimo. The broader development encompasses 6540 and 6544 Metral Drive and was completed in two phases, creating a compact urban residential community within walking distance of Woodgrove Centre, shops, restaurants, services, and public transit.
The architecture responds to its urban setting through a clean, contemporary expression defined by articulated façades, generous glazing, and private outdoor spaces. Balconies and recessed elements introduce depth and rhythm across the elevations, helping break down the scale of the buildings while providing residents with meaningful connections to the surrounding neighbourhood and landscape.
The development consists of two five-storey wood-frame residential buildings constructed over secure concrete underground parking and storage. The 6544 Metral Drive phase contains 32 residential units, while the overall Met development combines a variety of unit sizes and configurations designed to support a diverse range of residents.
