Currently, the population surrounding the West District is just over 119,000 people within a five-kilometre radius. CBRE says this is anticipated to increase to 160,700 by 2033, growth of 135 per cent in 10 years.

That is definitely 35% growth, not 135%. The second number is 135% of the first, but that's not the same as 135% more.

Makes me question the other numbers in the article, and whether the author or the editor understand what a percentage is.

One thing about west district is everything has been concrete over all wood in university district.

Are you referring to building construction? If so, it is a mix in both. In West District, the only fully concrete buildings are:
- Gateway 1 &2
- Plaza 1 & 2
- Oak & Olive
- Parkside
- The Quarters / HQ

Wood frame are:
- Mulberry
- Newberry 1 & 2
- Adelaide 1 & 2
- Mondrian 1 &2

I presume Wellington 1 &2 will be wood frame, and The Rise will be perhaps a mix of both, with the southern 6 storey portion being wood, and the tower portion being concrete.

West District may be a while to catch up on U/D, and may never fully catch up as U/D has a couple of advantages right off the start. It's beside a 38,000 student university, and a hospital. It's also in the middle of a large area of established residential that doesn't have a lot of retail options if you're not into going to Market Mall. West District is at the edge of the city and not far from other existing retail clusters.

That said, W/D will be fine. Broadcast Ave will be the anchor for the area, and will be busy. Between that and Radio Park, the area will be a busy place.

Yes both Wellington buildings will be wood frame. They are massive, 208 units each. I do like that 60% of the units will be 2 bedroom or larger.
