New James Cheng Design for Revised Waterfront Station Office Tower Proposal

Cadillac Fairview has submitted a new development application to the City of Vancouver for 601 West Cordova Street, currently the surface parking lot between the Waterfront Station building and The Landing.

The site was previously subject of an application for a new office tower in 2020, but did not move forward.

The architect for the resubmission is James Cheng, who also designed The Stack office tower, on Melville Street.

The current proposal calls for a 22-storey office building, stacked to look like a silhouette of a tree and cantilevered over Waterfront Station. Details include:

  • 417,000 SF of office space;
  • a total density of 7.05 FSR;
  • a building height of 416 ft.
  • A public plaza.

Under the site’s existing DD zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted. However, it requires the decision of the Development Permit Board.
