I think the departure of the Bay really hurt this mall, but on the other hand I am not sure it would have been so great if it had stayed either.
It could have turned into a long slow decline that is just dragging things down like elsewhere.

State of disrepair at Hudson Bay's flagship Vancouver store leaves shoppers aghast
Recently, the flagship store on Granville and West Georgia was eerily quiet. Most of the elevators and escalators were out of service

Rumor has it that a developer with projects adjacent to and within proximity of the old Bay section is looking to partner with the current owner to develop a tower or two on the old Bay section of the mall (they have an investor on board).

Sounds like maybe Westrich (or maybe One) is looking at this.

Hey! I was just asking about that. Let the record show that it was my idea.

Redeveloping that part of the mall makes total sense, just glad to hear that there is some real money out there looking at doing just that right now.

Alright let the tower height guessing game begin! Let me start the baseless speculation.
Imma put two towers, all above 150 m with one at 200 with an anchor tenant of Zara.

The mall needs people living right next door (or on top) to survive. This paired with a RHW residential tower could really make this area feel much more alive.
I'm in favour no matter what it ends up looking like.

I don't have the figures at hand but like the ICE district tower the height for towers is constrained by existing footings and in-place columns and considering that the design pre-dated the closing of the municipal airport, I suspect that we are looking at 30 storeys max.

If one has to guess, I would make a safe bet, it would not supercede the the current towers which I would be more than happy. That will tremendously add density both population and skyline.

I just found the new rendering for this exciting world-class iconic project.

Good news if the rumor is true!
I foresee an extension of the Delta Hotel as part of a mixed-use equation with residential plus that damnable parkade will finally be demolished in favor of underground parking. Not sure what happens with Landmark Cinema though.
