In 2018 I think they were talking about a mix of residential and office but with the same S building.

2015 rezoning proposal

On the Beatty Street frontage Creative Energy proposes a 300,000 - 350,000 sq.ft. of office/commercial building and a 300,000 - 400,000 sq.ft. residential building (currently proposed to be secured market rental housing).
• On the lower side of the site on Expo Boulevard they propose a plaza with 25,000 sq.ft. of retail.
• Overall non-residential density is proposed to exceed the 7.0 FSR minimum
commercial requirement.
• The existing Steam Plant (70,000 sq.ft.) will either be re-engineered and integrated into the development as a back-up function, or relocated off-site. In addition, a new, low carbon heating plant will be built off-site. The applicant is currently working to secure a location in the False Creek Flats that will be linked to the distribution network.
• As part of the rezoning process, City staff will work with the applicant to determine how the fuel switch can be secured as a long-term public benefit for the city.
