The owner of the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver has submitted a rezoning application to the city in hopes of building a 12-storey office tower where the iconic hotel's loading docks and valet parking are currently located.
The owner of the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver has submitted a rezoning application to the city in hopes of building a 12-storey office tower where the iconic hotel's loading docks and valet parking are currently located.
The new building would replace an existing annex to the main hotel, and would include a new ballroom, hotel spa and restaurant, as well as ground-level and basement retail space.
Though the address on the application is 900 W. Georgia St., the proposed office building would not have any frontage on Georgia Street. Renderings included in the application package suggest the new building wouldn't even be visible from Georgia Street from some angles.
Instead, the new building is located behind the hotel, in the middle of the block, with frontage on both Burrard and Hornby streets.
At 225 feet (69 metres) it is shorter than the main hotel building.
