I think you are confusing developers. Vranich is the developer that wants to demolish this building. He is not the same developer that demolished the office building on Jackson Street. He is the developer that is restoring and intensifying 150 Main West, and is building a 28-storey condominium tower next to it. He also just finished building the Homewood Suites and Staybridge Suites hotels. That's four new downtown developments in the past two years, all of which have added significantly to the city's tax base. From what I understand, he has plans for another hotel for this site. IMO we should be cheering on such developments.
