The developers of the 59-storey 'twisting tower' at 1133/1153 West Georgia met with the Development Permit Board on Monday night.
As was expected, the Development Permit Staff Committee recommended that the building be approved, as did the Urban Design Panel. For a copy of their full report, click here (link to pdf).
Among the latest information that was confirmed by the report is the following:
- The building will indeed top off at 600 feet, making it Vancouver's second tallest building after the Shangri-La
- There will be a total of 163 residential units and 150 hotel suites, in addition to office and retail space
- The proposed Palm Court is no more, however it will be replaced with a public plaza on West Georgia Street, which will be integrated with the building via the hotel lobby and a restaurant
- The developer is aiming for Silver LEED certification
