On another note; I want to know what people think should be done with the parking lots to the east of the Trillum (below Spring Garden Road)?
Keep in mind; both sites are covered in viewplanes; so I think it would be reasonable to assume that whatever height City Centre Atlantic has; would be the max there (or possibly a storey lower).
One option (much like what dmajackson had suggested in one of the threads) would be removing excess viewplanes; which function to save the same view but cover wider areas? So potential you might be able to combine VP 9 and 10 into one VP - and increase the allowable heights slightly.
My thought on the area is a combination of residential or boutique hotel. Ideally; I'd like to see the corner next to the Trillium turned into a high class urban boutique hotel - something like the
Fairmont Pacific Rim - about the same height and similar style to the Trillium. If that corner couldn't be done; then i'd like to see one of the parking lots done.
The thread in the Vancouver SSP section for the Pacific Rim Hotel (if people want to see more pictures) is
here.
