The new building from what I understand will be of the up most quality. Unlike any other building we have seen go up in the downtown. It will be hotel and condo or apartments with ground floor retail. The hotel will be a 7-8 floor podium and the condos or apartments will be in a 10 storey tower on top of that.
I can't wait to see the final designs.

I'll reserve my comments till i see the final design, but fully believe this should be apartments and maybe some ground floor retail. The hotel market is becoming overdone in the city (there are up to 5 yet to go;UG, international place, salter street, Queenslanding,herald lands). Apartments gets the core what it needs, people living downtown.
As well, looking forward to seeing the proposal.
