[Roundabout]

The City of Vancouver has received an application to amend the existing CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District By-law for 650 West Georgia Street (753 Seymour Street). The proposal would allow for a 32-storey building with:

• 34,199m² (368,115 sq. ft.) of office space with ground floor retail space;
• four levels of above grade parking and six levels of underground parking; and
• a height of 123 m (403.5 ft.)

A revised application was submitted on October 1, 2015 and proposes:

• an additional storey through a decrease in floor-to-ceiling heights on each floor
• an increase in floor area to 48,817 m² (482,423 sq.ft.)

Another midrise but at least this is an office building, not another boring looking condo.

More office is good.

It'd look more dramatic if its facing Georgia St. It seems to be in the Scotia tower's shadow in the current location.

Would be exciting to watch

Anytime a parking garage comes down its exciting. Explosives or no explosives though it would be fun to watch it implode.
