I can't believe a progressive city like Vancouver allows Disneyland-style faux-village architecture that slaps on a "many little buildings" façade on one big building.

This is one of the nicest residential buildings to go up in a while. If you don't break up the massing of these buildings, you're left with a large blank wall. It's hardly over the top.

The area is changing for the better. Just give it some time. Nothing happens overnight.

These two developments work ok. But my god, what a bland streetwall. A few developments of this scale in Chinatown are great, too many and the neighbourhood will be forgettable. I hope this is it.
