The Oakridge Redevelopment Project is an ambitious transformation that has been reshaping Vancouver’s skyline and urban landscape since its rezoning approval in 2014. Now in its 11th year of development, this 4.3-million-square-foot endeavour stands as one of the largest projects in the city’s history, poised to redefine community living with its blend of modernity and purpose.
A Vision Becoming Reality
When complete, the Oakridge redevelopment will be a vibrant hub featuring an elevated park, a new community center, a library, a performance area, a childcare facility, multiple residential towers, and a 22-storey City-owned housing tower. This project is not just about building structures; it’s about creating a sustainable, integrated, and enriching environment for future generations.

Coastal Sleep and RWC Systems: Delivering Quality on Projects of All Sizes
When Coastal Sleep, a leading provider of respiratory therapy services across the BC Lower Mainland, needed to relocate their Abbotsford clinic, they faced the challenge of building a new space that met their specific needs under a tight timeline. With RWC Systems at the helm, the transition was seamless and successful, demonstrating RWC’s ability to handle projects of any scale.
A Partner in Precision and Professionalism
Coastal Sleep’s Abbotsford location had been a key part of their operations for years. However, a change in tenancy required them to find a new location and customize it to suit their needs. Damian Lehwald, Clinic Manager and Respiratory Therapist at Coastal Sleep, explains why they trusted RWC Systems for the tenant improvement project.
“We chose RWC because they have a great reputation in the industry,” Damian shares. “Their online presence and portfolio of major projects—like the Vancouver Airport, The Post Vancouver, and the new St. Paul’s Hospital—made them stand out. Bringing that level of expertise to a smaller project like ours was amazing.”
Delivering Big Results on Small Jobs
While RWC is renowned for its large-scale commercial construction work, the Coastal Sleep project highlights their versatility and commitment to excellence, regardless of the project size. The scope of work for this tenant improvement included:
Partition Wall Adjustments: Removing and framing partition walls to fit the clinic’s layout.
Ceiling and Lighting Updates: Installing new ceiling tiles and upgrading lighting to create a welcoming atmosphere.
Flooring and Finishes: Replacing floors and completing detailed finishing work.
Millwork: Adding custom millwork to finalize the space.
Meeting Tight Timelines with Expertise
Coastal Sleep’s relocation came with a sense of urgency, compounded by internal delays in securing a new location. RWC Systems had to navigate tight timelines and the challenges of coordinating trades and materials. Damian reflects on the process:
“RWC did a fantastic job. They were professional, clean, and expedited the process as best they could. The finished product is something I’m very pleased with.”
Excellence Across Every Project
The Coastal Sleep clinic improvement is a clear example of RWC Systems’ ability to adapt their expertise to projects of all sizes. Whether constructing complex wall and ceiling systems for high-profile commercial buildings or managing smaller tenant improvements like Coastal Sleep’s clinic, RWC consistently delivers precision, professionalism, and quality.
For Coastal Sleep, the result was a clinic space tailored to their needs, delivered on time, and reflective of their commitment to quality care. For RWC Systems, it was another opportunity to demonstrate the full range of their capabilities.
