The city of Vancouver, Washington and Gramor Development on Monday marked the installation of a 75-foot-long mast at Grant Street Pier.

The towering landmark is part of the plan for Gramor’s massive development called The Waterfront along the Columbia River in Vancouver. The sprawling $1.5 billion mixed-use project aims to turn the riverfront into a destination.

Restaurants will face Grant Street Pier and the new mast, Gramor President Barry Cain stated in a news release.

The pier mast weighs approximately 59,000 pounds. Temporary cables will be installed until 16 permanent galvanized steel cables can be fabricated and installed in December, Gramor stated in the news release.

A Vancouver contractor, Rotschy Inc., is at work on the installation.

The 7.3-acre park will open in fall 2018, stated Julie Hannon, Parks and Recreation director for the city of Vancouver.
