There has been tremendous recent coverage on our Private Residences Hotel Georgia Project - Bruce Langereis, president of Delta Land Development, has wrapped Vancouver's iconic Hotel Georgia in the largest Canadian flag ever made, in preparation for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Just how big is it? The vinyl building wrap is 32 meters high and 64 meters long -- larger than an Olympic hockey rink -- and it adorns two sides of the hotel now under restoration and renovation.
Langereis joked that he is renaming the intersection of Georgia and Howe streets "Canadian Corner."
The hotel, built in 1927, is undergoing a major renovation and is scheduled to be completed by the end of next year.
