Because this building is in Fairfield.
I had to look it up on my neighbourhood map and it's true. The border runs down Meares towards town, turns left on to Quadra for a few metres and continues down Fort until it hits halfway down the block, somewhere around the Armed Forces recruiting building.
This is ridiculous. The Fairfield/Downtown border should turn left on Quadra, not right and should continue west down Broughton or even Courteney, not Fort, which would bring the Y into Downtown.
Anyway, the proposal is quite modest. The ugly beige one-storey office immediately to the left of the Price's Lock and Safe retail outlet shown above will be renovated and a second storey, set back several metres, will be added. The first floor will be retail and the second storey will be the Price's relocated offices.
