Pinnacle International held a pre-application open house for their 601 Beach Crescent site, adjacent the Granville Street Bridge and acquired from the City. The site is intended to form the other side of the ‘Gateway’ with Vancouver House on the West side of the Granville Bridge.

Preliminary details of the proposal include:

• A 52-storey tower;
• A total building height of 535 ft;
• 152 non-market housing units;
• Market residential units.

The site was identified for a taller tower as part of the City’s 2011 “Vancouver Views” policy which created an opportunity for two sites at the Granville Bridge Gateway. (The other being Vancouver House).

The architect for the project is JYOM International with GBL Architects.

The City of Vancouver has placed a 1.42 acre property up for sale at 601 Beach Crescent. The irregularly shaped site sits just East of the Granville Street bridge, and mirrors the Vancouver House site at 1400 Howe Street (though the site has a smaller site area).

City of Vancouver planning documents identify the currently vacant site for a similar height as the Vancouver House project, at 425 feet (though Vancouver House was subsequently approved at 497 feet).

The offer submission date is July 27th, 2016.
