Ain't that the truth. You'd think there might be some paradigm shift in normative design by now, but no.

Yeah, not enough variety.
Like Marinaside Crescent's towers.

Talk about tower creep, going through the posts a decade ago planned a lot shorter, good job Wesgroup for their master plan and build out.

Once complete its gonna feel pretty cramped

Brewery District looking to “unlock” last building at New West site

Wesgroup Properties has been unable to find a “unicorn” tenant, so it’s proposing changes to the Brewery District.

The city’s land use and planning committee recently considered a proposed zoning bylaw amendment that would convert 200,000 square feet of health-services density to “omnibus zoning” density in Building 8 in the Brewery District. In exchange, Wesgroup would make Building 5, which is under construction and near completion, 100 per cent secured market rental and would make Building 7, a proposed 32-storey mixed-use tower, into 100 per cent secured market rental and include 50,000 square feet of health-related commercial floor space.

“I truly think the proposal has a benefit for everyone,” he recently told the committee. “There’s no net new density being proposed. The density is staying within the building site as it’s zoned and is simply transferring from one land-use category to another. It creates housing options.”

Speaking of which, where IS Building 8 supposed to go?

Ah, ok, thanks. 8 is on the North-west parking lot. Hopefully it at least doesn't get converted to condo residential, but forgoing density to prevent that isn't a good thing either.

Also, wow, the residential towers have gotten huge. The offices have also shunk, so clearly the medical office demand wasn't there as expected (like Metrotower)

One of my broken records: the staggered balcony cliche: it looks pretty cool: it's not cool enough to overcome the complete lack of privacy it results in.

will this complete the development or is there another phase still?
