Assuming they don't totally screw up the facade, this doesn't look terrible. It fills out the street and it's sure better than an empty lot and a mediocre mural.

The general layout and massing is great. I hope they don’t screw it up with the exterior material.

Looks okay, the red trim gives it Chinese/Asian look without being kitchy. TBH, I was expecting worse.

With this being one of our only blocks built out at both high-density and with each building right on the property line of the other, I wonder how many units are actually on this block now?

Would love to see this style of development more all over the place.

If you want examples of real modern Chinese style buildings check out the ones in China.

Nobody said the style was ‘modern’ Chinese. Modern Chinese styled buildings look like any other modern buildings from anywhere else in the world.

Until recently most countries had specific styles of architecture that was fairly specific to their region, country, or city, but these days, a modern style condo in China or Richmond BC could just as easily look like on one in Santiago, Mumbai or Warsaw.

The style of this building looks to have a style similar of older buildings in China (especially with the red), but really it's more of a nod than anything. The roof of the Chinese cultural centre across the street has a definite traditional Chinese look, and was even built by tradesmen from China iirc..

Looks to be turning out fine IMO

I’m waiting for all the tarps to be pulled, but from what I’ve seen so far, it’ll be better than the rendering.
