Wow. The renderings are always misleading, but there is no way this type of project could easily be approved in a traditional planning process https://senakw.c

  The renderings are awesome because it's the phase when architects let their true artistic vision shine without much thought to cost. Then reality hits, and the buildings (usually) never look even 25% as nice. But in this case if they can get 25% of that vision in reality they'll still be better looker buildings than 98% of what you see in Vancouver today.

  What I love about this project is that it's a huge win-win for both the Squamish nation, and Canadian vancouverites. They're building affordable housing for members of the Squamish nation, bringing their people back together onto their native land and funding it by renting out market-rate housing and offices to non-native Vancouverites. I'm very excited about this project. I wish it all the success in the world, and I hope other housing-starved localities are taking notes
