See final paragraph - set to be the tallest building in Western Canada. The article focuses on the 14 stories of underground parking that will be included, which does seem excessive given that the SkyTrain is literally across the street.

There's a lot wrong with the Senakw proposal. But I'm not surprised when developers are told they don't have to do something that they jumped at the idea. Developers would happily exclude water and power if they only had the opportunity.

The Senate development is funded by the Squamish, designed for the Squamish, and plans to house the Squamish. You're saying that somehow the developer got more say in the project and proposed things actively against the interests of the Squamish nation... And the Squamish just rolled over and accepted it?
