Bosa Development has plans to erect an eight-storey rental building with ground floor commercial space southeast of the Fairmont Empress Hotel.
The development will be situated on lands formerly used as downtown Victoria's inter-city bus depot.

It's been almost 9 years to the day since this thread was started. I am not too worried about luxurious play places for the uber-wealthy popping up here anytime soon.
At this point I think my preferred option would be a relatively short (~9 stories max.) modern wing of the Empress Hotel. Totally different architectural style, no connecting wing at ground level. Methinks a hotel would likely be the only option that could possibly sustain a small cafe/pub/something-or-other at ground level. Also, I like this idea because of the potential to have a killer event space on the top floor/roof level.
Which reminds me, is this complete now?
It makes sense to have the land available long before construction start up.
Is the land ready now?
