Crocodile Rock was a popular bar in the Entertainment District.

Affectionately known as Croc Rock, it was known to have line-ups in the summer but remained closed throughout the pandemic as it couldn't seamlessly transition to offering takeout or delivery.

There was speculation in March 2019 that the buildingwould be torn downto make way for condos, but it wasn't until this month that plans were submitted fromFreed Developments.

The tower would rise 219 metres, replacing four existing buildings.

The overall building height would be 219 metres, including the mechanical penthouse with rooftop amenity floors and sculptural articulation at the top of the building.
