Pacific Crown Management Company Ltd. has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop the Southwest corner of Broadway and Cambie with a new office and retail building.

Most people will know the site as the Original Joe’s building with the Starbucks on the ground floor.

The proposal for the new development is for a 7-storey office building that includes:

• retail, restaurant and financial institution uses on the ground and second floors
• office use on the third to seventh floors;
