"Former railway ROW preserved and enhanced as public open space"

That's interesting

EDIT: Nvm it's just an outdoor plaza for the hotel lobby essentially with gates on either end. So it's not public

The documents said it's open from the lane to Powell so not sure where you are seeing the gates.

(In the Perspectives document)

It mentions public access, but the emphasis seems to be on "visual" connections.
So I wouldn't be surprised if it does end up gated like at the condos further up the RoW.

I mean there's zero reason anyone would enter from the lane or exit that way so I mean that side seems the most likely to be gated off

Really unfortunate… so hard for arts groups to find affordable space right now.

Has the cultural office space included as part of Grosvenor Pacific finally been filled? It was empty for the longest time.

Coal Harbour School October update:

Quote:
The City informed the District that it is not confident the building will be ready for occupancy in fall 2025, as previously expected. The City’s goal is for the school to be complete and ready for students for the start of the 2026-2027 school year, while aiming for construction completion in the spring. Should completion occur sooner, we would move students in at the earliest feasible time.

Granville Street social housing, subject of countless complaints and emergency calls, will close by June 2026

A former hotel-turned-social housing building in Vancouver’s Granville Entertainment District, long the subject of complaints from nearby businesses, will close by June, tenants have been told.

On Thursday, notices from B.C. Housing were posted on the doors of the rooms of the Luugat, the former Howard Johnson Hotel at 1176 Granville St. It was purchased by the province in June 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic and converted into social housing.

The notices informed tenants the building “will need to close by the end of June 2026.”
