The new 23-story title holder was completed last year as the city’s 124th tallest building. WOHA Architects was responsible for its design, a 350-key hotel whose program achieves a 300% green plot ratio.CTBUH CEO Javier Quintana said the hotel was reflective of the best practices in "responsible vertical urbanism." He added: "It does so by considering the question at the very core of this year’s conference—New or Renew?—from a more encompassing and nuanced perspective: this isn’t a building refurbishment; it’s about reimagining entire communities in novel, forward-thinking ways. The significance of Pan Pacific Orchard cannot be overstated—it emphasizes the revitalization of urban spaces rather than relying solely on new developments."Read the full post on Bustler
