The new office/retail building to be built at 980 Granville will be located mid-block on the east side of Granville between Smithe and Nelson streets. Granville St. is a cutting-edge neighbourhood of movie theatres, live music venues, night clubs, restaurants and trendy youth oriented retailers. This location is a lively and charismatic area for people both day and evening. One and a half blocks to the north, at the corner of Granville and Robson streets, is the most prominent and popular mainstream shopping mecca in all of Downtown with Nordstrom, Pacific Centre and Robson Street, Vancouver’s premier high retail shopping hub. Another major convenience for tenants of 980 Granville is that the two major rapid transit lines cross each other two blocks north at the intersection of Georgia and Granville, where the underground stations are located for both the Canada Line, leading to the south of Vancouver, Richmond and the Airport, and, the Expo Line, leading east to the suburbs of East Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey and Coquitlam.
