Westin has no basement.
Westin we be overwhelmingly hotel. Possibly a single office tenant (40,000sf)
Sopo will not have a hotel.
Sopo does not have residential.
Fortress is not an office tower. It is mostly residential. Different market from sopo.
Sopo clearly has mpi and lotteries locked up. Probably agreed to when the jets came back so sellinger could be at that press conference with chipman and Thomson. The same way that mpi had a 'public rfp' process for their land and it just coincidentally went to chipman.
Downtown is losing 300 hotel rooms with the Place Louis Riel conversion. It lost 200 with the radisson conversion. All of these hotels will only add 700 rooms or so. There is a significant market not served by our hotel industry. This growth is a long time coming. Our supposed highest level hotel is the fairmont for goodness sake.
