The 1913 -built Regent Hotel at 160 East Hastings Street has been decaying since the City of Vancouver shut it down at the end of June 2018 .

The city has owned the Regent since late 2020 when it reached a settlement with the Sahota family to expropriate the property and the dilapidated Balmoral Hotel , which has since been torn down.

Housing advocate Jean Swanson wonders if there’s a double standard at play in the case of Dunsmuir House .
