There's a rotary piling rig sitting at the energy centre site though it doesn't look like the area is fenced off yet.

Yeah I saw that. It's been like that for a while now, I think they have started work already. It just doesn't look busy yet...

That was exactly my first thought. The resemblance is uncanny. I know Dialog was involved in Central and is working a lot down at the RD, that might be the connection.

No parking here, for now they are just building the energy centre on the eastern half of the site.

Not sure exactly how deep it will be but it should only be one level.

That explains it then. The district energy center will most likely below grade completely and above will be green space.

It’s 2 levels above the ground. See the passport of the project above.

Not a typical 2 levels either - 74 feet to the roof peak (or the top of the chimneys).

That public storage facility reallllly sticks out like a relic from another era now. Hopefully it's redeveloped sooner than later.

I thought like that too, but I would actually prefer to do it last and build on empty field that are full of overgrown vegetation and garbage. At lest storage is well kept and clean.

It was only built in 2000, so it's by no means at the end of it's life in terms of the buildings. And it's got a lot more potential customers nearby, compared to when it was built. The one factor that might make the owners think of selling are the taxes; the taxable value of the land jumped from $23m to $33m last year, so they'll probably be facing a higher bill, (although all industrial land values increased, including South Vancouver).

23 years ago is another era.
