Vancouver, Canada
GRS was engaged by Bentall Kennedy Canada on behalf of BC Investment Management Corporation to undertake the comprehensive retail market positioning strategy and tenant mix planning for the redevelopment of the iconic Canada Post Building situated at a prime city block in the Crosstown area of Vancouver. Strategically located to the top commercial and entertainment venues in Vancouver, the four level retail podium serves as the social focal point to this high density project which includes four towers to house showcase residential, office and hospitality uses. As of April 2018, retail giant Amazon announced expansion of its hub north of the company’s Seattle headquarters. The new 416,000 square foot tech hub will be built on top of the re-developed post office building and is expected to open in 2024.
