If that hotel is open in March I will eat my hat.

I was going by on the bus today and noticed that there was a new steel beam installed plus the temporary steps were open because of the Whitecaps game. So, I got off (just as a heavy downpour started) and got these pics. It's not very often I can get onto that part of the stadium concourse.

I saw that beam today too. Should be a really impressive lobby/entrance.

I'm really liking the interior decor and design of these hotels much more then Trump, especially The Douglas and it's skybar, very sharp!

That beam is massive, thanks.
and the interior beams seem to create some angles for the atrium.

I was confused when looking through the amenities and I saw that there is apparently bowling practically next door to the hotel. Any ideas?

No idea what 0.2 miles is, but Commodore lanes is relatively nearby on Granville.

I don't know of any bowling lanes that close to the site.
There used to be a Playdium type facility at the Plaza of Nations many years ago that may have had bowling.

Does anyone know who the owner of this project is?

LeftCoaster · #**292** Posted **Jun 8, 2016, 11:20 PM**

Paragon Gaming & Dundee REIT

Another game day, this time it was international rugby (Japan vs Canada). So, the concourse around gate G was open.

Cool update.

The main atrium seems like it could be an impressive space.

mcminsen · #**296** Posted **Jun 12, 2016, 7:16 AM**

And some views from the Smithe Street ramp and Expo Boulevard.

really makes the $550 million renovation worthwhile.

mcminsen · #**299** Posted **Jun 19, 2016, 4:01 AM**

Some pics from yesterday focussing on the lobby/atrium and the now visible escalator.

Does the angle of the steel beam in that last shot line up with the peaked opening?
The proportions seem off.
