Likely this is a specification from the client (Nordstrom's), but something like that could really have livened up the Granville St side.

Agreed. However I feel this will be one of those buildings that will continue to see many alterations and renovations, both inside and out. A never fully complete building, which I guess is a good thing considering it's location and use.
Who else thinks they should have used the white patterned material on the entire facade instead of the stone? I think it would look awesome.
