This mixed-use development involves the rehabilitation and façade retention of the historic Northern Electric building, constructed in 1928. Through a Heritage Revitalization Agreement, the project achieves a density of 10.07 FSR. The development includes a 29-storey residential tower with 177 units, 5-6 levels of hotel space, and ground-floor retail and entertainment. The residential tower, featuring a simple and uniform profile, is set on a glazed podium that visually separates it from the heritage building below. At the corner of Robson and Beatty, the new 6-storey hotel building has a monolithic architectural expression, designed to complement the form and character of Beatty Street’s existing structures while transitioning to taller buildings north of Robson Street.
