I hope something gets done with it soon. It's falling apart more and more each day, especially on windy days. Looks like a pretty cool project though!

Maybe Officedweller or SFUVancouver can chime in on this, but my understanding is the city hasn't been to kind to this application. There are still outstanding issues that need to be resolved. Any insight?

Non-support at UDP last November - no further word on it after that.

There's been nothing happening with the site for many months now, but today it looked like they were moving some of this stuff off the site and there's a little backhoe there now:

Nice angle.
I had to look at the thread name to figure out what I was looking at.

I've always liked that building, strangely, because it was so old and run down. I'm looking forward to the new development, which should quicky become a landmark within the area. This area will undergo the most dramatic changes in the city in the near future.

Excellent. Nice scoop, entheosfog.

Thanks, it's more like they're just ripping out the foundation of the old building but I'm sure digging will start soon:

Sorry about the pole

Excavation of east tower underway.
Car wash site between west and east tower is not part of the re-development... you'll still have somewhere to get your car washed.
