Germain Hotels operates 19 properties across Canada and is continuing to expand its presence. It is to open Alt Hotel Ottawa Airport this fall, followed by Le Germain Hotel Casino de Montréal, and finally, Le Germain Hotel Vancouver over the next few years.

The Vancouver project involves converting a former office building into the hotel, in partnership with building owner Reliance Properties. 1111 West Hastings St., will become a 180-room boutique Le Germain, and is slated to open in 2029.

It will be the first Vancouver hotel for the 35-year-old firm, whose strategy is to offer “distinctive and authentic hotel experiences.”

Would be nicely aligned with the planned short-term rental regulation the City is cooking up.

Once again, more terrible reporting……to elevate the journalists’ article - she pluralizes “developer(s)” - Shinco - for that extra gut punch of all of the developers pulling put of the area, when in fact she only mentions that one.

2nd example of terrible reporting: “…..recently signed MOU.” 3 months paragraphs later: “…..IF the MOU gets signed……”. Well which one is it?

The headline is the worst. Do the headline writers even really read the articles anymore?

Although it was not as clear as it should be, what I got out of the article is the area is developing in stages, like what most larger undeveloped spaces do.

First the area south of 104 Ave (not Street as mentioned in the article), then Stationlands now and perhaps some time in the future the area where the remaining parking lots are.

This is the big picture, which you can miss by just focusing on one part of it.

Still would love to see something here. Shame that the little green house is gone and the yellow one not long for this world. It would have been great to see both renovated, garden suites and then that density/height transferred over to the remaining for a nice mid-rise.

If they tear it down, it may just become another empty lot, like the other at least half dozen or more in the area that have sat empty for years that used to have older houses.
 
The green house was demo'd as it is not part of this and was intended to be a 'mid-block' connector to the garden... a waste and loss if you ask me.

I really wish they would, it would look so much better and fit in with some of remaining historic buildings nearby.

A better appearance would probably also help them to make a nicer place that could be more profitable and fit in better with the area.
