Somebody must of been fudging up the performa to amp up the big wigs as I don't know any strictly supertall hotel builds in existence anywhere around the world.... Except the hotel of doom in North Korea.
Would of been better to assign the lower half a flagship hotel and the upper half lux residences with shared amenities, high tier clientele will probably be waiting eons for elevator rides from the top floors to get down.

I think a close comparable would be the Sheraton Wall Centre complex, which hosts a similar 3 towers, conference facilities, and clocking in at 742 rooms.
Certainly not easy, but not an unimaginable business case, considering that this location would be even more central and desirable, and with newer amenities and more unique amenities holding Vancouvers crown.
