The final piece for Holborn was the acquisition of the Randall building, a 1929-built commercial structure at 555 West Georgia St., last year.

For at least eight years Holborn has been in touch with city hall about developing the downtown site. City hall didn’t support a series of earlier proposals designed by different architects and submitted on behalf of Holborn between 2017 and 2023.

Conversations with city hall about the earlier proposals only ever reached the pre-application inquiry stage. About 18 months ago, Henriquez Partners Architects started working on the newest iteration, and last week, the partnership submitted the first formal rezoning application for the project.

Henriquez Partners’ earlier version of the project, designed last year, planned to incorporate the heritage building at 500 Dunsmuir St., Henriquez said.
