Very cool building. Would fit in so nicely along 17th, 11th, or 12th ave, but will be good here too. Hopefully it can help be a catalyst for the area.

I am concerned about the hotel's prospect though, as someone who stays at a lot of hotels and reads a lot of hotel reviews on Tripadvisor etc... I can already see some of the reviews for this due to its location.

With an allowable GFA of 6,600sf, this truly is a micro project that makes use of a very challenging, tiny remnant lot. Given the proximity to the new event centre and culture & entertainment district, the owner is confident that a boutique will thrive and be a catalyst for further development on this block. Here are a few renders we've been working on....

Interesting concept, though I feel like the renderings overstate the transparency of the mesh. Just hope it doesn't turn out like Courtyard 33 where the transparency is almost non-existent.
 
So probably closer in transparency to the mesh over the Palliser Parkade, just without the ugly parkade very visible behind it.
