For me I consider the intersection of King and Victoria a key piece of Downtown including the Sixo development but properly I believe they are not Downtown.
Even though one of the often cited sources for the revitalization of Downtown is the development of the UW School of Pharmacy.
I also consider the Market area to be Downtown.
Are there official meaningful boundaries? Or it more defined ad hoc depending on who's doing the study?
Yes, the four Downtown districts (Innovation, Centre, Market and Civic) are all defined by the City. Although the western limit of Downtown would have once been considered to be Francis, it now covers everything to the train tracks. The Market District only extends to Cedar street, but will probably merit a two block extension to incorporate the Drewlo project. The "East End" is not formally designated and overlaps in part with the Market District.
