Change happens.
We had a big Boise Cascade paper mill along the Columbia in downtown Vancouver that had long outlived its day in the sun. As of 13 years ago I used to walk by the silent factory buildings (looked a lot like those shown above) during my lunch hour wondering what would ever become of the place.
A new development is now in mid construction of a number of high rise apartment/Office buildings with a waterfront park and lots of shopping/restaurants.
