This 👇 will get REALLY interesting in 2026 and beyond as new claims are made on unceded land, which makes up the vast majority of BC, including Vancouver. Not a billion dollar question... more like a TRILLION dollar question. #canpoli #cdnpoli #bcpoli #urbanism

First, the +ves: (1) new PBR supply & (2) choice of mass timber. Definitely laudable. BUT... the design looks like a cross between a generic 60s/70s medical building & the Toronto South Detention Centre. Where have all the creative design professionals gone? #urbanism #architecture #toronto #topoli
