Infill Development Discussion

“Colors (sic) of Bankview”

Hardly any colour. Incorrect spelling of colour. On a roll Calgary. On a roll.

Not to be that guy, but Colors is correct either as Colours or Colors. Canadians swing both ways ways when it comes to those kinds of words

I like it for the most part, but it's too bad the garage entrances aren't at the back of the property instead. Maybe there's no alleyway?

I suppose they’re marketing to Americans.

Proposal for Mount Pleasant at this location 30 suites. It's not going to win a Pritzker, but it is good filler.

Replace the vinyl/hardie board with stucco or brick and I'm on board. Already looking like an early 2000's development.

Filler is a good description.

Perhaps the design has been in a drawer for 20+ years. Looks like it.

At least they're not trying to hide the easy-trim in the rendering and we know ahead of time what we'll get.

IF they could just color match... the silver edge trim is one of the most unsightly cladding options available. For a few hundred bucks you can go from 2/10 to 6/10

That just looks bad, surely they can come up with something better than that!

You guys know how people built those very 1960's and 70's stalinist looking apartments and they thought they looked completely fine at the time but they aged terribly and everyone hates them now?

Yeah well this is the 21st century version of that, 30 years from now this thing will look atrocious.

30 is very generous.

Also random geometric patterns.

Don't get me wrong I embrace ornamentation, but I don't think a grasshopper component that culls indices with random probabilities is a strong enough justification for design decisions, and certainly not one that will stand the test of time.

Small infill in Mt Pleasant. A block north of 29th Ave. It’s not a large infill project but more of these will add up. I hope we continue to see these kind of developments.
