Mourning Carlos n’ Buds, 1372 Seymour Street Downtown Vancouver Development Site and Urban Garden

Who misses Carlos N’ Buds?!?

This Vancouver Tex-Mex Icon used to be situated on what is now the Onni development site at 1372 Seymour and 555 Pacific in Downtown Vancouver. 1372 Seymour Street is now a City of Vancouver Urban Garden that is part of a new City program to give developers a tax break for keeping vacant development sites as urban gardens.

According to the City of Vancouver development proposal for 1372 Seymour Street, Onni is planning on building a 33 story tower on this plot of land plus a child care facility. The link above has has the full development proposal with great drawings and pictures of where the building will be situated on the on the lot and what it will look like.

Tough to say when Onni will break ground on this one. A very well informed contact has told me that for Onni is saying that if its not out of the ground now, it won’t be coming out for some time…

I’d love to hear your thoughts!
