There's no way that floorplate could accommodate hallways.
It'll probably be hard to install "back of house" storage areas and the like except at the south end.

Are all the floorplates roughly the same sf, just varying box placement?
As for the parking lot on the corner of Richards I would love to see a 'Streamlined Moderne' style office building that takes styling from the Colliers dealership that was built there in 1948, complete with a neon rooftop lighting feature like the dealership originally had
It was a waste of a gem.

Previously, the Moderne landmark ‘Fido’ building at 450 West Georgia was the Colliers Motors Showroom (1948), a Chevrolet-Oldsmobile dealership. More from this Vancouver Heritage 2007 newsletter:The unique ‘Streamline Moderne’ structure, designed in 1948 by architects Watson & Baxter, deserves sensitive care. One of the earliest examples of the modernizing trend in Vancouver, it is notable for its striking cylindrical sign pylon, stainless steel fascia, horizontal banding, curvilinear surfaces and extensive plate glass.
