$10 million in 1973 is $66 million today, for posterity.
Good luck redeveloping an entire block for that sum today.

^^that motel with the pool, would that have been built elsewhere, at City Centre Hotel on Douglas and Discovery?

I read it as all being slated for the 700-block between Cormorant and Pandora. But a couple of years later the vision was severely downscaled by another developer and ended up being built as the Rotherham building along Blanshard.
Maybe the motel concept was adopted by somebody else for Discovery Street? It seems like a curious coincidence.

Indeed.
There was also the 00s proposal from Townline, for two towers of about 18 storeys where the two new office buildings stand today.
Also, this is Reliance’s second office redevelopment. They have plans for the art deco office building on Blanshard at Fairfield, with a hotel replacing the offices and a residential tower rising above.
