They wouldn’t have spent the money demolishing this building if their plans to rebuild a new one went on pause, would they? It seems odd how there has been no indication as to what the replacement build is going to look like by now.

Just a note that the Simons hoarding wraps around the old Nordstrom facing the Georgia plaza have been pared back so they do not front the space to be occupied by unknown Tenant #4 (at the old Nordstrom front doors).
Now the Simons wraps only cover the new plaza entrance area as well as the new entrance behind the bus shelters on Granville.
Someone (i.e. new Tenant #4) must have gotten worked up by the error.

Cadillac Fairview had its annual ice cream day today and they combined it with a World Cup watch party on the roof of 777 Dunsmuir. It's usually on the Georgia plaza in front of 725 Granville, but that's hoarded up and too busy with the street closure.

Simons plaza entrance.
I'm expecting green signature Simons tile at the entrance.

This would be the before shot - from before the Nordstrom sign was installed:

Why do they have two entrances right beside each other

Left door is for the other unit. Simons' door is the right one.

There should be a diagonal arrow pointing to the lower right from the big Simons sign.
People will walk into the other store (which will also have its own sign) thinking it is Simons.

I suppose that frame will fill the gap (left-right) and be clad in the green Simons tile.

So there will be Aritzia and Simons, that leaves two additional large spaces, correct? What about the lower level, how many spaces are down there?

Once the Four Seasons tower is finished being dismantled, with there be a temporary use of the podium, or will it be a derelict dead zone for a while?

Yeah, 2 units remain unannounced. Both from street level upwards (2 or 3 levels).
Mall level was previously converted to smaller stores before Nordstrom.
Nordstrom never had a presence in the mall other than elevators in a side corridor.
Not sure if Simons would retain those elevators.

Read the thread. There are several theories and guesses, and they can't all be right.

By me today.

Simons on Granville side - a long way to go.



and plaza entrance.
The Simons entrance pokes out a bit more than the Nordstrom entrance glas box.

By me today July 27th.

I wonder if the ballroom area just north of the tower will also be demolished?
That's right above Harry Rosen.
