Yeah, there are a few possibilities for all that space; perhaps even an open air lounge (which would have overhanging canopies when it rains).

What floor they working on now?

officedweller · #**268** Posted **Aug 5, 2009, 1:15 AM**

Just the second floor (or, I guess, the floor of the third floor).

What's the status of the hotel? It's supposed to re-open by December isnt it?

Rise. Riiiise!!!

I can't wait to see this project...wonder if it'll look close to the renderings. Hope they don't cut back (financially) on anything. IF it looks anything remotely close to the renderings, this project will be spectacular. lots of lighting effects on the building, liven up the area :]

Thanks for the update.

So, what is happening with the old building? Is it being torn down or just renovated?

Canadian Mind · #**275** Posted **Aug 11, 2009, 1:16 AM**

I think it is being rennovatted with this tower being an expansion.

jlousa · #**276** Posted **Aug 11, 2009, 3:56 AM**

Being restored, it was originally planned that the old hotel would be open for the games but I don't think that is very likely.

sacrifice333 · #**277** Posted **Aug 11, 2009, 4:40 AM**

old hotel had like 300 rooms or something, going to be cut down to 140ish once renovated!

Here’s a few section/elevations from the first version of the current proposal that I thought might be of interest:
