"They have responded to the rhythm of Old Town, the modulation, the width of buildings, that kind of thing."

I'm really not sure what "rhythm" and "modulation" mean in this context, but "width of buildings" is rather difficult to misinterpret. The proposed buildings must be very narrow then?

It will be held on the second floor of Market Square, enter from the Store St. staircase.
Please try to make it if you can and offer your feedback.

Chinatown’s Union condo project shown to public
By Robert Randall • Published on Tuesday, November 30, 2010
Anthem Properties this week showed off the latest designs for the former Buckerfield’s lot at an open house at Market Square.
Renderings were displayed and representatives discussed the latest version of the residential low-rise building with visitors, most of which learned of the open house through an extensive mailout sent to neighbours.
Several suggestions made over the last year have already been incorporated into this latest iteration, including a height reduction from eight to five stories and the re-inclusion of Theatre Alley, a walkway connecting Fisgard Street with Pandora Avenue.

I am having a hard time coming up with problems council might invent with this proposal.
This is another project where council should be jumping over backwards to make work.
I would be so relieved to see this hole filled once and for all.
It's seems as if it's the least talked about abandoned site in Victoria and yet it's in one of our highest profile areas.
When I started this thread, the first proposal was already years old.

Could someone elaborate on the plan for Theatre alley? Is the idea that there will be shops in there?

The new facade repeats the rhythm of the buildings along Pandora Street fairly nicely but, unless they are incorporating an arcade, the Fisgard Street elevation is out of tune with the Chinatown context.
The proposal is scheduled to come before the City of Victoria heritage Advisory Committee on December 14th and, possibly, a joint meeting of the Heritage Advisory and Advisory Design Panel on December 15th.
