It's described as 'unsolicited', which is kind of weird. I guess Farrell's, (who are doing more in Hong Kong and Shanghai than in London these days, it appears), have spare design capacity at the moment.
It's hard to be certain without a plan, but it appears their scheme builds on top of part of CRAB park and some of the freight rail tracks, which seems an unlikely prospect.
They're obviously not solving the hazardous cargo problem that has sunk development ideas up to now (and it'll be interesting to see if the City's current exercise gets any further on that topic).
They're also showing residential buildings on Port Land, which would need a Federal government change to the Letters Patent that control what the Port of Vancouver can do with their land. There's never been any indication up to now that could be possible.
