For both this and the YMCA project, the proof will be in the pudding.
Wouldn't that be something if it actually got built, check back in ten years for a progress report ...
I would argue this corner would be a great location for a not too high end hotel.
Near SOFA, Chinatown and Hudson so nearby amenities/demand drivers on main driver in an out of Victoria.
With new short term rental restrictions, a new hotel may make sense I would think but I do not know the economics of it all.
To my eye the latest version of this one doesn't look as if much has changed, other than some minor changes to the podium. I wasn't so warm on this project before for some reason, but I've changed my tune. I didn't appreciate it nearly enough for being an attractive alternative to the bland panel towers that I'm always griping about.
Blanshard site approved for 15-storey office tower re-envisioned for 22-storey residential highrise
Over 150 homes planned for 1620 Blanshard Street and 741 Fisgard Street in downtown Victoria.
