Well an offical application has been submitted, no renders to share yet but here are some of the details.
Quote:
Iredale Group Architecture has applied to the City of Vancouver to rezone 475 Howe Street and 819-829 West Pender Street from DD (Downtown District) to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District. The proposal includes a 30-storey commercial office building containing a 3-storey commercial/retail podium and seven levels of underground parking. The Class 'A' heritage building at 375 Howe Street will be retained and restored. The proposed building would have a floor space ratio (FSR) of 21.31, a total area of 37,033 square metres (398,625 square feet), and 162 parking stalls.

Things that stand out are the 7 floors of u/g parking but only 162 stalls, has to be a small footprint for the parking levels. The other is the FSR of over 21. That's one of the largest FSRs I've seen in the city, only topped by Jameson and Vancouver's Turn as far as I can tell.
