Ah yes, such an important landmark that absolutely can't be improved upon. Gotta love how arbitrary heritage retention is
The corner building is quite similar (in design, with an additional storey) to the one that was demolished on the site of The Smithe across the street,
and a new podium would better open up the Smithe frontage for retail (although fewer windows means less vandalism).
The wood style cladding got my attention
Driving into Coquitlam yesterday and saw this building for the first time at Lougheed and Brunette, thinking this is a unique bldg.
Maybe it's a new trend or the same architect and or builder.
City of Vancouver proposes new site for controversial DTES street market

Vancouver’s controversial Downtown Eastside street market could soon have a new home.
The market’s current site at 26 E Hastings is slated for redevelopment by BC Housing, and the City of Vancouver has proposed demolishing a dilapidated two-storey heritage building at 123 E Hastings, across the street and one block east, to act as a new site.
According to the city’s development application, the new site would be temporary and have space for 30 to 35 vendors, two toilet facilities, tents and a site office and storage container.
The city proposes having the market open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

"create the impression of logs from the Fraser River floating over its glass facades"
This whole thing just blows my mind. Now we have a fencing operation selling stolen goods and the City is calling it a "market", and as opposed to thieves they are called "Vendors" ... crazy times is there anything more we can do to promote crime?

That place has been a blight issue for years. It's caught fire several times and the owner's been waiting get paid to walk away from it. Looks like he's finally getting cashed out.
Considerable amount of Rebar work, looks like above code being a refuse building, Richter scale 9.? bldg.
I deaded working on these sites, first thing the Super tells me "don't cut any rebar" then the sprinkler guy tells me "I need a hole core into the elevator lobby"
I happy to say I don't do (large) construction sites jobs anymore, age finally caught up with me.
Because what Vancouver really does nee d is more ultra-luxury boutique condos.
If the developer sells them, it would seem that we do.
Maybe they'll be west side house owners on Granville or Dunbar selling out and downsizing so their big houses get redeveloped into 5-storey rental buildings.

That is certainly the line that Henriquez and Marcon were trying to spin in that article.
Are there any permanent residents in Rosellen or is it still a long term hotel?
