I would love for another development to bookend the other side of the park. I also dream of this park becoming more of a iconic landmark maybe with better lighting, sculptures, and water features.

Perhaps I am a little biased as my MIL resided in one of their buildings for quite a few years and I saw how they managed their property. Let's just say, they would be the poster child for slumlord operations.

Typically I would agree but knowing that Strategic is leading this, I think the Ship's concerns are valid and I wouldn't leave anything open to interpretation.

In general, I just think the vibes won't translate. It will be the same issue that happened when they relocated The Unicorn.

Completely agree. I feel like this is a recipe for disaster.

That was my first thought as well. I'm happy to see that parkade go but all those trees are so mature and healthy, it would be a shame to lose them.

The audacity of the hoarding to say "the crown jewel of the university district" and then cut to these.

An inside source told me that there are three new towers going to be developed on this site. Not sure if that's true still but hopefully it is. :)

I guess but this one is lucky enough to be on the backside of the building and face the river so I think it would have a shot at working.

I really wish that heritage building in the foreground was some type of restaurant or something. Seems like such a missed opportunity to not utilize that patio space along the river for something like that.

AND the salt in the wound is that it's ugly.

This may be a dumb question but what will happen with the current coop space in that location? Are there plans in place to redevelop that too?

grabbed a quick photo of it on my way home

Would selling off the CRUs not be an option?

100% agree, or at least they could have gone with a darker colour to try to mask it rather than that beige/light grey.
