We first posted this project nearly four years ago. The project was rezoned in 2014, and now the final design for the first tower has been past the Urban Design Panel. The project has a revised name – it used to be Burrard Gateway.

......

The biggest change to the project was to the office component. While IBI/HB have designed the residential towers, Bing Thom Architects totally redesigned the Burrard Street office building. It incorporates the 3-storey Toyota dealership into an extraordinarily curved and twisted office tower that will, when it gets built, be one of the most exciting building seen in the city in years.

The office should be going forward soon, and recent renders don’t show any significant difference. The second tower may change more, as it included a ‘busy’ screen elements that seem to no longer feature on the first tower (where they were a far less prominent part of the design in the first place). Apparently a third residential tower might be in the works as well, as Reliance Properties are said to have secured the 7-11 building at the northern end of the Hornby Street block and have indicated they want to build a tower of (very) micro suites.
