This year, the remediation is expected to start on the Roundhouse project, where Mariash has paid to clean up and repair the 4.25-hectare former Canadian Pacific Railway site.
There are tentative plans to transform the neglected brick buildings, which have heritage designation from the city, into shops, pubs, restaurants, offices, community space and a rail-line maintenance facility. Also part of the $250 million Roundhouse project are a hotel and more than 400 condominiums.

I agree. Notice how the buildings in both projects seem to be in almost a straight line?There is way too much open space.

Some of the green spaces you see on the Bayview portion will be redeveloped into low-rise housing, particularly along the hillsides. I don't know why those buildings are not reflected in the above rendering.

Doesn't strike me as suspicious if the Province is putting in some money toward cleaning up the existing mess. Dockside Green got significant financial breaks for remediating its lands, didn't it?^^ *sniff sniff* Something stinks, and it's not the brownfield.
Government let the pollution happen in the first place (ok, "back then" we refused to know any better ...sure, we knew, but we refused to know), so it seems reasonable to not let the new (private) owner take the full brunt of clean up. In the US, the Feds have Superfund to help with clean up. States help, too. (Canada doesn't even have an EPA, does it?)

A future light rail line could then head east from the Roundhouse site along Esquimalt Road to either Bay Street or Johnson Street Bridges.

^Well, it is kinda a surprise since the last we heard from them, in late October, their brownfield grant was approved and it was full steam ahead. I wonder when the J of C info was made public and how long it was going to be before the mainstream media discovered it.
The J of C info was made public on the 24th. Its merely a project update, nothing earth shattering or cutting edge with information provided to the project, As for when an impending announcement with the media will be made, it is anyone's guess.
I suppose it is no surprise to me when I look at the big picture as there has been zero marketing of this project, on top of that, the developer is the same organization behind Bayview, and Bayview from what I understand is suffering, a quick drive by the project could tell you its fairly empty in the scheme of things.

As for the remediation of the roundhouse building, that's merely a preliminary step and doesn't necessarily count as part of the actual redevelopment of the property.
