Here’s our 49 storey hotel proposal:

Submitted by Relliance so they are still involved.

Street occupancy permit in October is from a construction manager at Hines so I guess both are still involved. (Seems to be under the Reliance/Hines holding company RPHC WP Limited Partnership)

With the Waterfront Station tower coming back it seems like the perfect time for Stovell to drop a tower at 1075 West Georgia

Downtown Van gets fancier while DTES gets filled with ugly social housing bunkers

I hope it's a taller version of the same design, but balconies may screw it up.

You can really blame Surrey, Richmond, Kistilano, etc. for that.

Yes, total agreement. In fact, if it is the same site as the former design (which was sleek but not - IMHO - not quite high enough, in the low 30s in storeys) to a 49-storey job, I am flabbergasted at the height increase in that part of downtown. And as you say, I also hope it is a taller version of the same design, and yes! please! no busy-looking balconies.

Four Seasons?

Is it too early for renders?

bb1510 · #**129** Posted **Jul 16, 2026, 9:18 PM**

Can we expect a starchitect since Hines did 53w53 with Jean Nouvel in NY above the MoMA?

officedweller · #**130** Posted **Jul 16, 2026, 9:53 PM**

530ft - nice.
One floor of commercial implies no ballroom or conference facilities.

Hines and Reliance might stick with the architects who designed the previous office tower for them here - Hariri Pontarini Architects.

HPA does pretty good work in Toronto. I believe they’re behind the design of the new tallest on the waterfront, 1 Yonge

bb1510 · #**133** Posted **Jul 17, 2026, 5:23 PM**

They do, but since then, Reliance has been working with SHoP and Neil Denari, so I wonder if there'd be a shakeup and they'd go with a different firm?

Neil Denari designed an earlier version of the office project here, and Hariri Pontarini were hired for the subsequent design.

Their Phase 2 for 1 Yonge is pretty ugly though.

Hopefully they aren't not heading back to this 2018 version...

This 2017 version is actually more interesting:

2017, the good ol days when architects actually tried in this city...

Looks like a Sydney project

LeftCoaster · #**139** Posted **Jul 22, 2026, 6:19 PM**

Wow I'd never seen that one before. It's not really my favourite but I'd love to see it get built just for how different it is than any tower in the skyline.

Needless to say a 160m+ tower here will likely need interesting architecture as it will go to the higher buildings review policy route. Looking forward to seeing what they have come up with.

It's here, it's...eh.
