Btw, the rendering shows the east face of the buildings, and Lime Bay/Spinnakers is on the top right.

Ah, they did the Railyards and Roar_One, and they were the original architects of Granville Island. Interesting.

One thing does concern me, however, hopefully the city and province have some sort of idea / plan for a rail station somewhere....because one day there will be regular passenger rail service. Whether it be commuter, LRT or both, it will need a major station somewhere.

Walking along the Tyee Road entrance makes me think of suburban highway designs.... I guess there will be a stair to get down to walkway level... The project is buffered from Esquimalt Road, accessed from the end of a cul de sac... situated on the other side of the tracks... Check out their site plan and concept rendering - that covers the windows at their presentation centre on Wharf St.

I hope so.. The buildings though are so "fortified" up there on "The Rock"..
That would be Bayview, which is being developed by the same group but the two projects are vastly different from each other. You can see in the renderings that the Roundhouse will have Yaletown-like architecture as opposed to hulking suburban/auto-oriented architecture that is Bayview. Roundhouse also has a good dozen access points from Esquimalt, Catherine and Kimta streets which are necessary to support the retail component and make Roundhouse into a destination and not a bedroom community.
