How embarrassing. These developers are a total joke.

Latest update:

TA Global has obtained shareholder approval for this project during EGM on July 05, 2012 in Kuala Lumpur (company headquarters).

osirisboy · #**1484** Posted **Jul 5, 2012, 3:03 PM**

So what does that mean

SFUVancouver · #**1485** Posted **Jul 5, 2012, 3:47 PM**

Holborn is just one part of a vast family business. 'Shareholder approval' means mom and dad gave the okay.

It seems unlikely that it will become -even partially - The Ritz Carlton. As such, I wonder if it will be hotel / residential and / or commercial or what. And I wonder what title and image it will finally have when built. I wish it could have still been the Ritz Carlton. This would have given the city a certain "cachet."

No real news just alot of title shuffling, reading the following document is enough to make a lawyers head spin.

Personal opinion: I believe next step would be to launch REIT for their hospitality business. Raise funds and begin construction of this project.

Unlike my previous post about a crane installation which turned out to be just a crane lift... This time it looks like we will infact see a crane installation at the end of the month.

White Water Concrete will be installing a tower crane at 1151 W Georgia St. between 6:30am - 9:30pm. Traffic on W. Georgia will be reduced to single lane in each direction during this installation.

Traffic delays can be expected. Alternate routes are advisable.

Project Start: 2012/07/29 Expected Completion: 2012/07/29

Metro-One · #**1491** Posted **Jul 18, 2012, 6:34 PM**

But if PCL is off the site why is the crane being installed? Are they doing this in house now?

jlousa · #**1492** Posted **Jul 18, 2012, 9:39 PM**

Certainly appears they've gone inhouse at this point.

osirisboy · #**1493** Posted **Jul 18, 2012, 9:47 PM**

There have been lots of work going on since pcl left so seems like it

Metro-One · #**1494** Posted **Jul 19, 2012, 4:21 AM**

Will be a sight for sore eyes when the crane is standing, but I will not be celebrating until I see it above grade.

entheosfog · #**1495** Posted **Jul 19, 2012, 5:36 AM**

I happen to have gotten a picture of it last Sunday, sure is a deep pit!

I wouldn't celebrate until its completed considering there used to be a shell of a building on this exact site...

Metro-One · #**1497** Posted **Jul 19, 2012, 6:42 AM**

Well maybe we will get lucky and they will at least finish the cladding like the hotel tower in Pyongyang

Great news!

Thanks for all the updates everyone.

Wholly deep excavation Batman.

If this isn't the deepest excavation in downtown Vancouver for a tower, might it be the deepest on a hole-depth-to-site-area ratio? I.e. the deepest / smallest hole?
