There are three other massing studies submitted with the application but the one pictured above includes the tallest buildings.
Btw, the rendering shows the east face of the buildings, and Lime Bay/Spinnakers is on the top right.

I wonder who the architect is. The website doesn't say.
EDIT: It's Norm Hotson for Hotson Bakker Boniface Haden in Vancouver

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

Holy ****!! That's awesome! What's the mix of space going to be? All condo? I'd be shocked to see this go through at 16 let alone 20+

Some of the "street scenes" on the site are really cool. I may have to read this from end to end.

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!
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.

I think that if you have a need for a bigger station it could be built in Langford with the tracks to downtown used solely for Inter Urban use.

Here's another rendering that also shows the buildout of the neighbouring Bayview Victoria property:

Cool rendering. Let's hope these projects can breathe some life into the Songhees.

This project will be the redeeming part of the Songhees. Most wouldn't realize it but lots of residents from the Songhees walk to West Side Village to shop so there is a desire for amenities within walking distance.

I hope so.. The buildings though are so "fortified" up there on "The Rock"..
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.

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.

Looks like the railway will go under the project judging by the second rendering; there appears to be a tunnel.

Where is the tunnel! I don't see it!
Nowadays most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.

Oh, I see what you mean. The roads are elevated in this rendering as is the train track which makes it appear as though the tracks are going into a tunnel.
