Some History
- A restaurant called “The Crimelab” was located at the western tip of the site before the entire site was razed.
- In the Urban Design Panel meeting of July 5, 2004, it was requested the proposed tower cap (mechanical), extending more than 30 feet above the roof parapet height of 339.4 feet, be reduced because of upper-level view impacts to upland neighbours.
- The residential building has 52,000 square feet of commercial space along Bute Street.
- Proposal re-submitted to Director of Current Planning on March 3, 2005 for more floors to compensate for reduction to 30-foot high mechanical penthouse cap.
