"Just received this email re The Waldorf:

For Immediate Release
January 10, 2013

Vancouver, BC – Over the past twenty-four hours there has been a considerable amount of discussion and speculation in the media and public about the future plans for property at the 1300 and 1400 block of East Hastings, which includes the Waldorf Hotel.

Gerry Nichele, CEO of Solterra Group says, “It will be a while before we take possession of the property, and right now the Puharich family is still responsible for the ongoing operations of the hotel. We have an open mind about the future of this site and we are studying all the options. I can say that at this point we certainly have no intention of demolishing the Waldorf Hotel. We want to work with the City to explore possible ways to retain and improve the hotel.”

Solterra Group appreciates the public's interest in this site."

Believable? Knowing condo developers, some serious doubt. Still - PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION!
