I'm glad to see the two old buildings on the right being kept. If only the one second from the right was fixed up a bit though...

That's a great looking office infill. Love to see that part of West Broadway being densified. Can't wait for the Wendy's to go.

I wouldn't exactly say they're being kept - they just aren't part of the project - ie. different owner(s).

Looking at google sv i came across a lowrise under construction near Scotia and 2nd Av called "the Jacobsen." Any locals (I'm currently stuck in T-dot) wanna provide some photo updates?

I can try and take a pic for you in the next few days as I work in that area. It's nearing completion now and I think it's a pretty good looking infill sort of project. Sure seems like it's taking forever to wrap up though...

It's an Intracorp project so they post updates on their website, www.intracorp.ca.

Try this direct link.

^Thanks.

I really love these lowrise/midrises in this area and hope to see more of Main St between terminal and Broadway fill in with attractive buildings like the Jacobsen.

As a former Vancouver resident--Mount Pleasant area--I find this forum interesting in its lack of interest/coverage of what is really the best part of Vancouver--the area between 2nd and 16th, UBC to the drive area.

Does anyone know when that low rise on Robson and Bute (I may be mistaken on the cross street) will be completed?

This building has been under construction for at least 2 years and shows little progress.

SpongeG · #49 Posted **Oct 22, 2009, 3:27 AM**

there is nothing at robson and bute - thats where earls, london drugs, moxies, steamrollers, blendz etc is...

It's at Robson & Nicola:

Of special interest is the boxy little free standing single residence (?) behind this apparently stalled development. It seems to be part of the development.

I recall seeing somewhere that the developer went bankrupt. I cannot recall if it was a true bankruptcy or a rearrangement under ccaa.

The Pulse looks ok. The stairs on the outside are an interesting touch. Is that a Blenz Coffee going in there? I guess that helps fulfill the Vancouver requirement to have at least one coffee place for every block. Hopefully The Pulse will fit in nicely with the development that's going to go in across the street where IGA is.

Speaking of which... looks like a presentation centre is under construction in the IGA lot for said development.
