Crown Surplus | 20.36m | 6s | KN

[Albertasaurus]

DP just submitted for the Crown Surplus site in Inglewood. Never heard of this developer before. Architect is KN Architecture. Will be a shame to lose the surplus store but there are some CRU's in this development so maybe it can find a place there. Also, I am loving this red brick design, shows that for those extremely long wood frame buildings, brick would look 100X better than the mix of random Hardie board and panels in various shades of beige and grey.

That will really compliment the National Hotel nicely!

Why the hell are there 34 surface parking stalls above an underground parkade within walking distance of the Inglewood-Ramsay Station? This is the kind of site layout we usually get in newly-built suburbs, but in the inner-city.

They may have building setback requirements from the rail corridor, so the area may have been sterilized.

I would be utterly floored if that whole thing is brick. There's no way a developer would spring for that when they could get away with hardie board

This gives me gastown vibes, I hope they do spring for the brick. In these areas, there should be mandates or some sort of protocol that developers need to use certain materials in order for the projects to blend into the neighbourhoods. I'm tired of seeing buildings like that rosso building pop up and become such an eyesore in such prominent areas.

I expect red EIFS above the first level. Kinda like this craptacular example.

BJL Calgary? That could be Brad J. Lamb. He built 6th and Tenth and proposed The Orchard in Vic Park. He swore off Calgary after Orchard fell through and has stuck to only building in Toronto... Until now, perhaps? This is good news because Lamb is a very high quality developer.

According to the material boards, it's brick. Also, the back will be Hardie Panel, which I don't see as unreasonable considering the cost. But I found some more elevations dwgs...

According to the legend, this is the brick that will be used

I heard about this one a couple months ago ago it’s Brad Lamb. If the design stays brick this is awesome. And agreed on the excessive surface parking, it’s probably cheaper to pave above the Parkade than to waterproof it and add soil depth for landscaping and they prob want excess parking for the retail as the tenants will see it as desireable. I do wish the surface parking was reduced though

 

[CallmeCatbread]

The parking faces the tracks though, correct? So at least you'll never have to really see the parking lot as the building covers it all up. Agreed it's super lame though.

 

[Mountain Man]

The surface parking is likely visitor and commercial parking with the resident parking in the parkade below. As mentioned, the parking faces the train, so you won't even see it.

 

[Surrealplaces]

So CRU's with brick facade facing the street and parking and Hardie board facing the train tracks. Works for me.
