Riding past there last week, I was surprised that what looks like a side-core is on the western or premium-view-side of the building. Unless the view to the east is somehow superior?

Maybe it's a better view towards False Creek? It's also rental so maybe it's not a huge deal.
From the pics, it looks like there are development sites to the west across the alley - so core to core across the alley, although those sites on Granville may be view cone height restricted.
To the east is a heritage building next door so that may provide space from any new projects to the east. Northeast is a lower condo tower.

Doesn't Aoyuan have that site on the the other side of Granville they're dithering around with? Maybe they were concerned about the height of it.

Yeah I don't think they'll have any towers on Granville. At most 4-5 stories?
The Plan also entails narrow floorplates to protect views to the north, with a maximum of 5,500 sq. ft. for the floorplates. The policy also states residential towers should be within 82 ft. or 25 meters from each other. The policy guideline for height is 30.5 meters or 100 ft.
$1,387 a month for a 327 sq/ft studio with one wee window!
I would assume that's to cover the costs of the high percentage of non-market housing that was included.

As described in the Housing section above, a Housing Agreement will be registered on title requiring that a minimum of 30 per cent of the rental units shall be rented to households with an income of no more than the BC Housing Income Limits at a rent that is no more than 30% of their income.
An additional 20 per cent shall be rented at rates that are affordable to households with an income of no more than the median income for families without children using data provided by Statistics Canada.
