Market Spotlight: Main and Union
By ChangingCity
This isn’t a rezoning proposal yet, but no doubt something like it will appear as a proposal soon. It’s for a site that’s one of very few where the Downtown Eastside Plan allows the possibility of 150 feet tall buildings. On the corner between V6A and Ginger, Studio One Architecture have posted a picture of a building that has a cornice at a similar height to those buildings, and a taller element set back from that cornice.
Currently there’s a tired hostel that’s supposed to be a Single Room Occupancy hotel, a former vegetarian restaurant that still retains a yoga studio, the Brickhouse club (which is seldom if ever open these days) and the virtual reality version of history represented by the Jimi Hendrix shrine (as there’s no actual direct connection between Jimi and the shrine’s location, which started life as a cab stand and was later a storage room for a now-demolished restaurant).
