Cadillac Fairview and Nordstroms have released renderings of the soon to be redeveloped Sears building which will see Nordstroms open in 2015. The project will have approximately 300,000 square feet of office space on the upper four floors and see Pacific Centre expand towards Robson street into what is now the Sears lower level. Nordstroms will take the first three floors. Construction is expected to commence on November 1, 2012.

In Vancouver, the Wall Centre, once the city’s tallest tower with 48 floors, was eclipsed by the 58-floor Shangri-La tower in 2008.
Now, Shangri-La will get a twin of nearly its height: a spiralling glass structure at 1151 West Georgia.
