PS - remember that most of downtown South in Vancouver was light industrial warehouse type building until the 1990s.
- also note that as time goes on, the public is generally receptive to denser development, so playing a waiting game may not be so bad.

Here's more on the Townline proposal across from Lansdowne Mall on No. 3 Rd. @ Lansdowne.

I'm a fan of the growing number of proposals with office components we're seeing, substantial ones too. If the Metro Vancouver Growth Strategy is predicated on a series of downtowns throughout the regions, they should be destinations as much as they are starting points for people going downtown. This means they should have offices as well as residential. Good to see that's happening!
