Scary if accurate. A little "too" colourful IMO.

Certainly adds more color than the usual buildings in the city. I don't mind. Would like to see what it actually looks like when it gets built.

I guess we'll have to wait and see when it is done. The rendering could just be crappy. Actually it is crappy!

I stopped by the Arbutus Shopping Centre for the first time in a long time last month and it still looks the same from the outside. They seem to be picking away at the inside, though.

Here's a pic of the development application sign that was posted at the site about a year and a half ago. I think the first phase will be in the northeast corner of the larger site (on what is now a surface parking lot) as the new development application sign seems to suggest. Maybe they'll leave most of the original building intact until the first phase is finished. See Google Maps view here.

Updated rezoning application submitted on December 22, 2017:

The City Vancouver has received a rezoning application for 2133 Nanton Avenue (the Arbutus Centre) to amend the existing CD-1 (642) (Comprehensive Development) District. The proposal would increase the residential floor area, including an increase in the number of market and social housing units. The specific amendments include:

• An increase in the maximum allowable floor space for all uses from 67,065 sq. m (721,881 sq. ft) to 77,611 sq. m (835,400 sq. ft.). The additional floor space is to be accommodated on Blocks C and D (the western portion of the site).
• An increase to the maximum building height on Block C from 57 m (187 ft) to 60 m (197 ft) and the maximum building height on Block D from 57 m (187 ft) to 72 m (236 ft).

The rezoning application proposes no change to the amount of office and commercial space, and includes an expanded Neighbourhood House.
