Unfortunate but realistic for the area. Hopefully, S2 can work with a developer to bring the exact design elsewhere where it would work. Would be perfect for West Beltline / Sunalta.

Getting rid of that parking lot is the biggest bonus. My own experience when I lived in the area and often walked to Safeway is that it was one of the worst parking lots with homeless crackheads tweaking and just lying out on the ground completely passed out in broad daylight. They're always...

Yeah, I could be totally wrong. The midblock section also has a very big opening in the back. Very strange section, curious to see more details.

Now that you are all mentioning the setback and possible reasoning, it could also be a cost savings with how the parkade is located. The more I look at the renders, it seems like the three-story stretch between the tower and retail on 1st Street may actually be a parkade. This development will...

This one may be one of the best rare instances where actual product looks better than rendering.

Isn't Sunterra still open? If it ever does shut its doors I wouldnt be surprised to see save-ons or sobeys go in You also have H-Mart, probably easy to overlook if you don't know much of the asian community. But you'd be surprised with the offerings there especially for condo dwellers it's a...

The best part about this project is the streetscape and the trees lining the street is already showing good growth. If we get another rainy summer like this year, the whole strip when this project is done will have an amazing residential urban feel to it.

Wonder what's holding up the repairs on the adjacent property. Procurement issues for materials or is there a legal battle going on?

I think I actually like the new design more. The original was unique and would have also been great, but really looked like a 60s/70s design. Would have been worried after a few years of aging, the building would actually look like it was built in 60s/70s.

Need more details on the actual finishes before making judgment. Don't think anyone wou be complaining if it's green tile like in the link below. https://www.dezeen.com/2024/09/09/studio-gang-san-francisco-mission-rock-skyscraper/

I think that is still the design. Not much will change on the outside, maybe some changes at street level. A lot of the investment on this conversion is on the inside. But if nothing's changed from the last interior renders I've seen, it's going to be really nice. There is a focus to expose the...

Probably a tent dweller that just lost their favorite spot to shoot up.

Design is not Wentworthy.

Yes I can confirm piles are being driven on the south end of Truman's lot atm.
