| 説明 | The uncompleted concrete hulk at 1133 West Georgia, across from the Shangri-la. It seems every city has a stagnant development site somewhere - it's just a bit surprising that this one has remained downtown Vancouver for so long. Previously, this was a mid-century modern tower, the former "Shell Oil Building" in Vancouver."A former owner of the property planned to turn it into a gym and recreation centre, but the plans fell through for unknown reasons. The building was gutted and the exterior facade was removed. Hoarding was erected in more recent years to keep the public out. Cadillac Fairview bought the land in early 2000."www.6717000.com/blog/2004/09/plans-in-works-for-concrete-... "The site had been a vacant and derelict concrete shell for more than a decade, following failed attempts to develop a private members' club and a strata-title office building. Vancouver-based Holborn Group bought the property from Cadillac Fairview about three years ago." www.canada.com/mobile/iphone/story.html?id=d2db4b24-1449-...Soon to be replaced by a fancy new piece of work designed by Arthur Erickson.notes from: www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=227556- June 8, 2005: New "twisted" redesign unanimously approved by UDP as 'stunning, evocative, and beautiful, complementing Living Shangri-La'. Application for rezoning from DD to CD-1 reviewed. - Similar in design to Sweden's HSB Turning Torso. - Features a 5-star, 200 room hotel and high-end residential units with the top floors containing two-storey penthouse suites. - From level 7 there are 18 levels of hotel units. - Level 25 is a mechanical equipment floor, followed by residential units all the way to the top. - Construction will commence in early 2006. (hasn't exactly started yet)- Solar tubes on the roof help cut the building's power demands by up to 30 per cent. - The 'palm court' public plaza is lit at night by fibre-optic lights embedded in the pavement. - The costly design went through its sixth and final revision - window mullions and structure - during late June 2006. - In July 2006 the Ritz-Carlton hotel chain is expected to announce its participation in the project. - But then when the 'financial crisis' hit in 2008, the Ritz backed out and the project stalled. |
