A preliminary design concept has been released for Bosa Properties’ site at 1500 West Georgia. While still in the early stages and not yet submitted as a formal application, the development plan looks promising and certainly different. The property currently has an office building and the Eastern portion of the site can be redeveloped with a new residential tower. Details on the project from the architect, Ole Scheeren:
- Project: 1500 West Georgia, Vancouver
- Type: Mixed-Use High-rise Residential Development
- Gross Floor Area: approximately 329,400 SF
- Floors: 48 residential floors above 2 ground levels, 6 basement floors
- Program: Residences (235 units)
