Mark Nov. 26 on your calendar if you want to inspect plans for a 54-storey high rise envisioned for 601 Beach Crescent at the north end of Granville Bridge across from Westbank’s 49-storey Vancouver House ‘twisty tower’ that’s nearing completion.

An open house for the Beach Crescent rezoning application is planned on that date. Pinnacle International and GBL Architects are involved in the project.
The proposed building along with Vancouver House are meant to create a “Granville Gateway” leading in and out of downtown Vancouver.
