Totally crazy proposition - could Co-op and Shopper's use red brick instead of bright red ACM panel instead for there facade on the retail? Would look way less shitty

Leonard is crushing it - only thing i'd say is to not do everything monotone white and black. Bring in some warmth and colour for variation. They use Hardie products and Plygem windows, so would suggest Cobblestone, Aged Pewter and/or Rich Espresso in the Statement Collection for James Hardie...

Fuck this development, support Luke's Drug Mart. Don't care about the challenging-to-lease second floor medical office space. The architect did a good job with the prompt though I do think it looks good just don't care for the uses in it for this neighbourhood unless it has smaller CRU's facing...

My assumption is that all of the remaining lots in EV will go rental - as the proximity to the DIC and Centre of Hope are too much downside risk currently to getting the revenues you would need to make a for-sale project work at the marketed land costs. Especially with a flat/downward market...

Hope so, it will be better for the street tree growth having a permeable surface material.

Would love to see the AI prompts. "Please give me a cyclist using the bike lane, but make sure everyone is very good at business and wears a tailored suit. thx <3" I do hope the sidewalk is actually pavers and not concrete but that is unlikely.

Why is this parcel never included, was it an old CBC building? If it is i never understand why the Province doesn't sell land in important locations for either market or below market housing.

At this point just give Truman the Westbrook TOD site for like $3.5M an acre and let them develop it all in 4 years. Not the best development it is inoffensive and what makes sense considering the condition of the mall and the area.

C'mon, show me those cool gold railings

What a pile of dog shit that is. A moat of surface parking and zero street trees to screen on 24th

Sinatra's is very good pizza

I hope they don't stop there - there are all sorts of buildings along the river pathway they could rip down to put "temporary" gravel parking lots on. The first two or three blocks towards the river should be gravel parking lots with no landscaping or temporary sidewalks. This should make for a...

Literally fits the LAP height, maybe we just need a functioning Land Use Bylaw so this can be approveable. So dumb

4-storey building usually. Can only park and build the building economically if the lot is a min 120ft deep. Or else you typically need two more stories to offset the cost of a second layer of parkade

Good development shame about the asphalt parking lot. Seems like a good place for more affordable housing
