Ditto on the "supertall" comment!

EDIT 2: Drawings say 1021 W. Hastings.

I was thinking the same thing!

I too would have expected a side-core tower, but with the core fronting Hastings Street. I'll bet that the city would reject outright as proposal to place an exposed core behind the Marine Building (and the views from this property are to the north, northwest and to the east.

Not sure if the ability to circumnavigate a floorplate is all that essential to tenants, especially with such a small floorpate - i.e. our office has truncated the corridor on our main floor to make use of the space that would have otherwise been hallway.

EDIT: The floorplate as designed does, however, allow for a reception and/or adjacent boardrooms to take full advantage of the views, which a southside core would not allow. An east side core would allow allow for a reception/boardrooms with views, but would probably be a non-starter with the Marine Building.
