I drove up Main for the first time in a while and was surprised to see the Marvin site at 19th no longer has the “heritage” brick facade that had been propped up for years. Did they have to get city permission to demolish it?

There was a flood into the pit, supposedly from a broken water line, that compromised the foundation of the propped up facade. Assuming they managed to salvage the bricks they should be able to reconstruct with the end result similar to the planned retention.
There's been a significant revision to the plans for the West Point Grey Safeway moderate income rental building. Instead of two towers, at 19 & 21 floors, its recently filed development application reveals there's now three "towers" at 21, 7, & 6 floors
220 Prior, by the new St Paul's, is now pretty much complete. It's no longer called 'Nexus', but has been renamed 'Forma', and is being marketed for lease, rather than for sale as strata units.
