It should be pretty clear to everyone from this photo that the scale of what Beadie was proposing really didn't fit into the context of the neighbourhood, particularly given its status as a National Historic Site. Whether forumers like it or not, that status isn't going to change. There's a list of National Historic Sites in BC
here. Many are individual buildings, some are neighbourhoods. Can you imagine a building of the Beadie scale being plopped down in the parking lot at Fort Langley or next to the concentrator at Britannia Mines?
IMHO the best thing now is for the city to acquire the site and build the kind of housing the community wants, in a style that suits the area.
