I've heard rumours of Only Seafood re-opening in it's original iteration but last I heard it was only a vision and the funds weren't there. Hope they found the money. Save On Meats re-opening soon will definitely bring another spark to the area.
There\s also more movement on some future developments in the area as well, unfortunately it's too early for me to disclose anything yet.
Glad to hear. We've seen very little decent developments lately. The "activists" seem to have won a lot of the battles lately. For example, blocking the Greenwich project and preventing height increases to key areas that would have resulted in a couple of very nice developments.
there are some detailed renderings out for the Salt condo including this virtual tour of the exterior. not crazy about the actual tower but it meets the street nicely.

It was a nice night so I took a little walk and snapped a few pics.
60 W. Cordova is coming along nicely.
Paris Annex, unfortunately remains stalled.
Oh no certain death awaits the occupant of that unit...
Housing project for Natives, they are saving the facade.
Newly painted and almost ready to open. Think I'll spend a few dollars here.
Future home of Sean Heather's Bitter, plus some microlofts. Think I'll spend a few more dollars here as well.
Sign looks good, windows were newspapered over but was able to sneak a peek, looks like there is some work taking place, but it's nowhere near close.
Looks like they've stalled the demo of the Pantages, doesn't appear to have progressed since the last time I was there. While in the alley I met a guy who swears he knew me and that my name was Steve, he offered me anything I wanted too. By the end of the conversation I think he managed to convince me that I was his long lost friend. A couple of minutes later I was asked by VPD in a cruiser what I was taking pics of, when I told him he looked over and seemed confused. My new friend walked away at this point.
Salient's site which had a Bing Thom proposal at one point.
Concert Website for Salt Tower....Would you like some salt with your condo?

Wow, I must say I am very impressed by Concert's website for this development. It's really cool and the music is pretty catchy too! This is sure to set the bar with other developments in the city.

From your pictures, it looks to me like they've gutted the four smaller buildings west of the Pantages, but left the storefront facades and the entire Pantages untouched.
questions for j-lo: so save-on-meats is still kicking? thought the owners were shuttering the place. also - what's the story with this aboriginal housing place for which the facade is being conserved? i've never seen anything about that. thanks for the great pics, btw.
save on meats is coming back as a meat shop and deli kinda place with eat in seating and a retro jukebox
the guy got a sweet deal and is using the upper levels as well but not really anything public from I read at scout

The Aborginal housing will include 24 studios as well as 13 healing lodges.
Here are the details
Save On Meats is due to open very shortly, as SpongeG mentioned, the ground floor will house both a restaurant with cheap eats ($2 soups) and a butcher. One of the floors will house Vancouvers first food incubator rentable to the public, and another will do a bunch of prep work for the Mark Brands restaurants.
Wondering if this event will have any effect on the buying public as there's talk a lot of folks don't want to live downtown to avoid the crowds and mayhem.
