Well I do remember back in the 70's as a really young kid when there was a Texaco at the north west corner of 41st and Knight. It closed down around the late 70's possibly very early 80's. That lot was empty till the current donut and chinese food shop when in at I believe the very late 90's. Possibly the early 00's. Now I do know a good portion of that time is due to soil contamination. But I don't know if it took longer than necessary. Basically could it have been developed sooner if there was reason to develop on the lot.
It has been about 10 years since the Essos at both 41st and Cambie and 41st and Knight have closed down. And if the Texaco lot was empty for about 20 years. Then it is possible we may have to wait another 10 years. It all depends on how contaminated the lot is.

yes that spot
but i believe its a single lot house just next to it on 41st - would be kind of weird for them i guess to have a tower or something dense right there as neighbours - which would than probably make 41st densify and so on and so on
