^^What was the point of this renovation? They didn't really touch anything else besides going for a duller finish

I believe chunks of the old tile were falling off so they didn’t have much choice.

You can see white material leaching from between the stone tile on the west side of the podium on street view. I don't think any fell off, but it was obviously a liability.

Some of those tiles did in fact fall off from the extreme eastern side nearest the alley. That's what prompted this reno.

Ideally I’d love to see the retail built out and enclose the coveted space. But yes it is dull, stop painting things grey.

Seems like it started to fail in 2015/2016 they installed those little black/tile coloured holders at all the joints on the pillar near the driveway on the Hornby side. They started adding them to some areas on the Davie side recently as well.

Crestpoint, Anthem partner to acquire Vancouver high-rise dev. site
New Crestpoint Opportunistic Real Estate Strategy fund to hold 77% interest in 1318 Thurlow St. development

1318 Thurlow St. is a 0.4-acre development site at the southwest corner of Thurlow and Burnaby streets in downtown Vancouver’s popular West End neighbourhood. It had previously been owned by Strand and IntraCorp, which had originally proposed a condo tower for the property but then revised that to a 34-storey rental earlier this year.

Crestpoint and Anthem have submitted a site redevelopment plan to the city for a 32-storey tower on the 17,283-square-foot property.

It is to contain 300 apartments – 242 market rental units and 58 below-market rental units. They will comprise a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units with both indoor and outdoor amenity spaces.
Quote:
The site redevelopment plan has been submitted to the city, with first and second reading expected in the fall of this year, then a public hearing/third reading will follow, according to the Anthem release.

Construction is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2025.
