In light of our office shortage this proposal may very well be on the radar once again.
Anyone have more info on this?

This proposal first surfaced in 2006 and conceptualized the first-floor dedicated to civic or retail uses. This proposal would replace the Prices Alarm offices currently on site.

Minutes:
854 - 856 Broughton Street
The Development Permit application is to construct a
five-storey office building at the northwest corner of the Broughton/Quadra
intersection. The new building is located across Broughton Street from the YM-
YWCA building (on the south) and across Quadra Street from Pioneer Square
(on the east). The proposed building includes Class ‘A’ office space with retail
and community space (day care) on the ground floor. Underground parking is
provided with access from Broughton Street on the western edge of the site.
[...]
The value of the project is estimated at $6 million. The daycare will be operated by the
YM/YWCA who will pay only the operating costs for a period of seven years.
The applicant is requesting an increase in density from 2.0 to 2.6:1 in accordance
with the bonus density provisions in the Cathedral Hill Precinct Plan. Variances are
required to reduce the required parking by 15 spaces.

Its moot point as this project is not going through. I mean it passed public hearing a year ago and nothing has happened.

Geo-technical drilling on site today.
A sign of things to come?

I think I'd prefer to see 7 or 8 stories of residential here.

The kids of the initially proposed day care centre here would be ready for high school by now. That's your 4:20 stoner thought of the day.
Anyway, here is an old photo of the site, looking east to Pioneer Square.

Do we have any idea who owns this site?
