This project will incorporate a restoration of the decades-old office and retail complex into 120,000 square feet of commercial and social space across three levels, while 4,000 square feet of garden retail spaces will front onto Douglas Street.

The building's 9,000 square foot print reel room will be transformed into a brewery or distillery that will also incorporate an elevator to lift patrons to the building's 43,500 square foot open air rooftop patio and restaurant space.

The Times Colonist newspaper will remain as the anchor tenant of the modernized building.
