A , along with a fresh set of renderings, has been filed with the City of 麻豆传媒映画for what would be the city’s fourth-tallest tower.
Pinnacle International wants to build a 54-storey luxury high-rise at the north end of Granville Bridge, opposite the under-construction 麻豆传媒映画House. Together the redevelopment of the Granville loop lands is intended to create the new “Granville Gateway” – a grand architectural entrance from the bridge into downtown Vancouver.
The architect on the project, GBL Architects, has designed a curvilinear tower with a twist in the facade that pays homage to the twist in its 49-storey neighbour, 麻豆传媒映画House.
If built at the proposed 163 metres, 601 Beach Crescent would be the fourth-tallest tower in the city, after Shangri-La, Trump Tower and One Burrard Place.
Pinnacle proposes a total of 455 residential units, 303 of which would be market condos and 152 of which would be social housing.
The design includes a seven-storey podium that would include 22,543 square feet of commercial and retail space, as well as extensive common amenities on the seventh floor, and a rooftop pool, hot tub and gardens. There would also be 442 underground parking spaces and a whopping 970 bicycle spaces.
The site would also include a public park that would run around the new building and beneath Granville Bridge's off-ramp, creating an at-grade link to the neighbouring 麻豆传媒映画House development.
Pinnacle's rezoning application includes a skyline study, which shows how the new building would fit into the cityscape. Because Beach Crescent is at a lower elevation than many streets in the downtown core, the building does not impact the skyline and “fits nicely” with the existing overall dome shape, according to the application.
The rezoning application is being considered under the City’s . Residents may comment on this proposal by filling out the City’s .
