Seems like there's some movement on this project as Landa have resubmitted a rezoning application.
They claim they want to keep the same look and design, but are changing the CAC contributions and Social Housing is now in the mix.
That should be interesting.
Almost as interesting as the notion that it still being proposed as a primarily strata tower.

"There is new movement on a long-stalled project to redevelop 1444 Alberni St. (1468 Alberni St.) and 740 Nicola St. in downtown Vancouver’s West End neighbourhood into a pair of mixed-use residential towers.
However, in a highly apparent attempt to improve the project’s financial and economic viability, the planned redevelopment has taken a step backward as Landa Global Properties and Asia Standard Americas have submitted a newly revised rezoning application to change the housing tenure makeup and community amenity contributions (CACs) package."

Another apparent change is that Arcadis are now on board as the (sole) Architectural consultant (not Designer or architect or record).
The original proposal was done by Stern out of New York with MCMP as the local architect of record.
If there was a project I Wanted to come back to life, this one would be close to top of the list.
Especially if it retains as much of this look as possible.
As much as people were complaining in another thread (justifiably so) that there doesn't seem to be any more originality or creativity in tower design in Vancouver anymore,.....this could go a long way in helping with that, and it doesn't hurt that it's already very....'Alberni'....in terms of how it fits in.
