Mole Hill absolutely counts, but here is one from there and a bunch from areas west of Burrard.
Also these recent retentions that are part of developments, which is a great way to facilitate historical preservation when there's significant development pressure. Much better than the Toronto Facadism, and we've shown that we can do it here (Symphony):

There's also plenty of TH projects outside of downtown that incorporate a historic home into the project:

I don’t know if I would consider this project high density considering the number of units in it.Density > character homes in the core. It's nice if we can incorporate historical stuff when possible, but up is the right play, especially in this space.
As for the blank wall, I'm less offended by them when they look this good (if the end result is as shown).
Gotta love the guy shovelling snow!
^ There is an amazing little coffee shop, Stopgap Coffee, in that little house. Do yourself a favour and check it out!
The stone work looks nice, especially at the main level, but a few windows in that overwhelming wall would be good too.Gotta love the guy shovelling snow!
But really, these prices and they can't even afford to give the poor guy a proper snow remover? HAHAHA
I could see it if they were marketing it as privacy given the demo they are going for.I find it funny that the marketing for this is clearly trying to sell the massive blank wall as some sort of "feature wall"
you can make it artistically interesting, depending on how you work itA 12 storey blank wall is still a 12 storey blank walk regardless of how nice you try to make it look with lighting and different textures
