So, if that's true then I don't think what's happening with the old Mongolie Grill space and Wendy's are connected. My guess is that there will be a new tenant in the Mongolie space and Wendy's will complete renovations and be there for a long time yet.

Thanks for that! I thought of going in and asking but it was late by then. It's painful thinking they're investing in renovations and not gonna cash out on the land while they can. They must have received offers for it, especially in the past few years. As others had mentioned last year, it would be great if this site was consolidated with the alley and the narrow block fronting Broadway. A mid rise office block or mixed use would look great here with the new oblong shape.
As for the Mongolie building, the patio has a real advantage, it's view changes every 30 seconds with the flip billboard
(unfortunately from behind and only 3 images) The Beech trees do look nice though.

something similar in execution to crossroads would be perfect and frame the view nicely as you drive north past city hall on Cambie. Then as you go further east on Broadway the buildings should get higher as they already do going west towards the hospital. The area between Broadway and the OV, from Cambie to Main should have more buildings in the 10-15 storey range instead of 4-6. Perfect opportunity for more affordable buildings as it's a less desirable area to live.
