Not at all. Absolutely love such a building with retail. It is going to make the area more vibrant.

^Victoria's architectural love affair with plain white panels is showing no signs of cooling off. Although in this case they actually didn't do a bad job interspersing some of that faux-wood panel and also varying the window treatment here and there. For what it is and where it is, it's actually pretty good. But in downtown proper I'm fed up with the plain panels.
Seriously, there's so much potential along the Douglas/Blanshard strip re: underdeveloped properties and empty properties. You could probably build a whole new city along there.
