For reference, the entire neighbourhood is a national historic site. This includes several new condos, the International Village mall, etc. If you want to claim that this lot is historic, or the adjacent chunk of the city is; well it's not. This is basically an expansion of Chinatown's footprint.
Note that Westminster is Main, and Dupont is now Pender.

I wasn't claiming just this site was, please reread my post. The neighbourhood is and that makes development of this scale inappropriate. If you're referring to the Henderson condo towers, those were completed before the designation.
