For the folks who think the scale is too big, I would argue that this is the roughly the same scale as Glenmore Landing, but in a far better location with nearby LRT, SAIT, nearby bike lanes and Kensington in general.
It’s the perfect place for high density.
It’ll be nice to see a low rise in among all the high rises. The problem with the east side of the Beltline is, it’s either empty parking lots or tall towers. We could use a few low rises thrown in.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the average per unit was higher than 1.5 the past few years. Anecdotally I know of new Canadians with 4 or 5 people to an apartment.
