One of the last remaining surface vehicle parking lots in the core of the downtown Vancouver peninsula is set to be redeveloped.
During Vancouver City Council’s final public hearing of 2023 on Thursday, the rezoning application for 848 Seymour Street to build a 321-ft-tall, 30-storey tower with 100% hotel uses was unanimously approved.
No hotel chain brand and operator has been associated with the project at this still early stage, but it is spearheaded and owned by Paul Y. Construction (B.C.) Ltd., which is an asset of the Tso family of Hong Kong. They are known for building major landmark office buildings, hotels, condominiums, civic facilities, and public infrastructure in Hong Kong and Singapore. The project’s architectural design firm is the Vancouver office of Perkins&Will.
