That's correct, the site incorporates both the Odyssey lot and a smaller adjacent lot to the NE. The tower shown in the rendering to the SW is a proposed market development that is still in the early rezoning phase.

Anyone else notice the sundial on the roof of International Village? Has that always been there? What about the star shaped structures above the air conditioning units?

The Abbott and Pender building is coming along nicely.

Taken by SFUVancouver, November 22nd, 2010.

While not technically one of the fourteen sites, this is a new supportive housing project by the Salvation Army at Hastings and Princess.

That one at Pender and Abbott is one hell of a dog, the Salvation Army one though is a very nice looking building. I can't wait until we see more 6 storey buildings like that built around the city, though with market housing having a bit of a setback on the top floor for the penthouses.

I'd be more inclined to say the opposite, though to be fair I do like the Salvation Army one just fine. I just think it's quite a safe design whereas the Pender one looks a bit more interesting/adventurous which I like the looks of more so far - though I'll reserve final judgement for when it's a little further along in completion.

the hastings and princess was built by the union gospel mission, not the sal army.

The building at Pender and Abbott has a really interesting awning support installed, it's a piece of art and pretty odd looking right now. Have to wait till it's completed but it appears to be overkill at this stage.

Im wondering, what type of social housing are these buildings? Are they subsidized rentals, homes for homeless or addicts, seniors housing?
