I love drone footage yet in Metro Vancouver the use of drones in urban areas is illegal.

Very glad to see that they are starting to dig the retail/office portion.

Still nothing with that service station... because they haven't demolished the building yet I'm starting to think that it's contaminated more than expected. I wonder if they found any sort of plume extending from the site while excavating around it.

It's not part of this development as far as I know.

Have they started on the east one as well (noted as 1410 Granville St), or just the west one for now..?

I thought someone had stated in the past that it was to be one of the final sections to be built as low rise office or retail, but reviewing the application from 2013 the station is still ghost rendered in place with a large opening facing the station in the adjacent section currently under excavation. Likely nothing more than one or two floors could be built there.

Which still gives me hope for a cool restaurant or pub in the renovated station That open area under the roof would make a great outdoor dining area or enclosed with windows. They also won't need the parking pad as there will be parking under the tower so they have room to expand the structure to have a microbrewery.

What's the plan for that leftover tiny section of alley?

Exactly my thoughts, I'd love for them to keep the design of the station with the patio out in the pumps area.

Now the question is who owns that station and their intentions.

Someone said Black Top Cabs sold it to Chinese investors in this thread a few years ago.

Lets hope it doesn't get sat on and left for an eternity as-is.

Some quick snaps I grabbed with my phone this afternoon.

The first couple of balcony 'boxes' are being completed, and first couple of pieces of glass are in place.

No sign of seafoam spandrel so far
