Yes, they just keep getting built. I have noticed some change in downtown for sure. There has to be significantly more people living downtown. The buildings have also been quite spread out over a large area... so no one area has drastically changed, the shorter ones just kinda blend into the existing street - with the exception of maybe the Humboldt 'valley' - which caused panic in come circles with regard to heights and 'Vancouverism' of the buildings LOL.
Here is nice 5 storey project 'The Union' which was finished this spring in Victoria's Old Town area. This is actually two buildings with a courtyard between.
