A Vancouver developer and a Los Angeles-based operator of luxury hotels announced a partnership this week that puts them in new markets.
For Amacon (the two-tower Brava and the Vancouver International Film Centre in Yaletown, among others) the Loden hotel is the company’s first hotel.
For the Kor Hotel Group, the Loden is the company’s first Canadian hotel.
For Vancouver, the Amacon news release says, the 130-room hotel is Vancouver’s first new hotel in five years.
Loden is scheduled to open this summer, the release says.
If the Loden announcement by Amacon signals a departure for the 40-year-old company, it signals nothing about its commitment to residential construction.
This year alone, Amacon is working on (at least) a new-home project in Morgan Heights and in Yaletown.
