This will be a net positive for James Bay and the city, and it might also help to spur new hotel construction @ a different site elsewhere due to the loss of rooms over the last several years.

 

Was the council vote unanimous in favour?  If not, who voted against this...?

I hope they keep and update the lighting on the roof. Maybe colour changing LEDs

What happened to the new facade?
Predictive text and a tiny keyboard are not my friends!

Gutting of the existing building has started and from what I understand should take 6 to 8 months

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that some kids climbed up to the roof and graffiti’d the elevator penthouse, lol.

Still being worked on, but 'The James at Harbour Towers' is taking waitlist applications for their rentals:

It says ready by late 2019, but some workers told me they are anticipating a January 2020 finish.

'The James at Harbour Towers' upgrade & conversion to rentals has been complete for a little while. Craigslist is still showing a few available listings.

 

Rents are:

 

Studio (311 sq ft)                  =   $1,225 (some with murphy bed)

1 BR (436 to 643 sq ft)         =   $1,520 to $1,795

2 BR (680 to 880 sq ft)         =   $2,365 to 2,800

Penthouse (1,125 sq ft)        =   On inquiry (2 storeys)

 

Quite an extensive list of amenities and the views should be great from there.

Pet friendly.

Nothing ever changes in Victoria except the things that change frequently.

And I must admit I have fond memory of when it was a hotel.  :)
