What is this project? Any details?

Not exactly a crime either!

5 storey apartment building called "The Cunningham" - by Brava I believe Found it really weird there is nothing on DMAP, no noticed posted, nothing - but construction is fully underway.

Good write up, thanks for that. Comes down to: Heritage = commercial retail & class-c residential = liabilities and active management Parking lot = inactive management, no liability Both are covered land plays, one needs staff to analyze and manage. Companies have fiduciary responsibility...

The cladding is starting to get a little busy with the random patterning but looks amazing over all! Great drone shots!

I'm with you on this. Contextual scale is only important when the application is taller than it's neighbors. Going from gravel lot to affordable housing in an amenity rich, transit oriented location is a grand slam. Also don't mind the design - will look unique an interesting in the context...

I haven't read the first 30 pages so apologies if this is clear: The historic facades are being maintained but the actual buildings are not - is this right? Had dinner at the Wednesday room basement last week and it's such a tragedy to lose that gem. Positive to maintain the facacde though

The panels are on both sides

Yeah a good portion of this site isn't in floodplain at all. I live in a new building with bedroom window facing CPR tracks directly across the street. I will say that I don't love it, but it's not a deal breaker for us. Ear plugs FTW

Awesome - best of luck and be sure to post lots of updates here too!

Incredible news - you're doing God's work as far as I'm concerned, and the project is beautiful. Industry isn't adapting passive standards because of build cost, but build cost won't improve until someone advances that new frontier. Chicken and egg problem. Tesla solved this through high-cost...

Not many lights on during early evening - curious how leasing is going on this one

These projects are typically common ownership and rentals, so that shouldn't be an issue. "The proposed development is “predatory” and takes advantage of a desirable central location that would more suited to semi-detached housing." Predatory? How do they expect industry to take them...

South facade looks tremendous - going to be a sharp building!
