The collaborative vision for 320 Granville Street developed by Kohn Pedersen Fox and Chris Dikeakos Architects will be heading to the Development Permit Board on April 3. The proposal by Bosa Development Corporation for the site of a tiered parking garage is a lot more voluptuous than the preceding 32-storey office scheme, which was conceived by VIA Architecture.
Bosa Development quickly scrapped the previous plans for the property after they acquired the site last year, retaining Vancouver's Chris Dikeakos and New York's Kohn Pedersen Fox — who designed the MNP Tower — as project architects. The new iteration calls for a 30-storey office tower with retail at grade and mezzanine levels plus seven levels of underground parking to be accessed via the rear lane.
The building's 376,000 square feet of office space would be contained within a structural frame of concave elevations enveloped in glass. Its parabolic corners form a distinct footprint, with large pillars supporting a permeable entry plaza at Granville and Cordova.
The block could be super dense if other recent proposals at 601 and 619 West Hastings are approved. Those two projects have also promised to sheath contemporary office space in high-quality glass. Altogether, the three would bring approximately 760,000 square feet of new office space to the block.
