bottom right corner of the pic - lots of vacant spaces. lots of development opportunities there. Downtown Vancouver is dense, but it's not as dense as it can be. Could be denser!
> I think that density will come, bit by bit. There are still prime sites occupied by smaller, older, infill buildings that will make way for newer, larger, buildings.
I didn't expect such a sharp corner at Pacific & the Smithe St. Extension.
Doesn't look like any setback (either from the curb or at a podium level), although there would be space for the streetcar track.
That pic highlights how far One Pacific is set back from Expo Blvd.
and the amount of open space there will be at the Smithe Extension roundabout
and at the Expo Blvd / Cambie Bridge ramp corner.
I wonder if anyone has considered that roundabout to be a potential "event space"?
- it sits in a "bowl" a bit lower than Expo Blvd.
PS - the wavey ledges facing the bridge ramp should look pretty cool.
Lol Why? Because of traffic noise? ������. it's already beside Cambie bridge and pacific. If people there are sensitive to traffic noise, good luck to them
Yeah, I got excited when I saw it. I had very low hopes for this building but it is starting to look like much better than I was hoping it would. I originally thought this would be not tall enough for the area, but it is starting to look like the scale will be perfect.
