I'd be surprised if they proceed with that plan and add balconies unless it is a condition for their funding. Cidex is doing a much simpler, cost effective plan for Eau Claire Place so I'd expect something similar here

Looks great from this elevation. Hope they keep the brick

Looks like they would have had to do that because of the dead end corridor condition. Max allowed is 20ft I believe for a dead end corridors

Nice finishes. Tiny living room for a 3 bed though. Would have been better to add the balcony space to the living room.

Definitely some poor design choices made on this project. Very expensive adding balconies and doing a full reclad to end up looking like this. Looks like Peoplefirst has learned from their mistakes and is planning to do a much more sensible concept for Petrofina

Same construction method as their Pumphouse project in Winnipeg. Unique and looks great having the exposed wood ceilings

I think they could reduce the subsidy amount from $75/sf to $50/sf and still get a lot of projects done. The subsidy is putting a floor on the value of vacant office buildings for conversion and the owners are reaping the reward by being able to sell the buildings to developers for more then...

I understand there was a lot of applications and interest in phase 3 of the program. My guess is we will start to see some announcements of approved projects in a couple months. I'm expecting Hanover, Place 800, Rocky Mountain Plaza and Dominion to be some of the approved buildings

Not at all the case. Dense infill>greenfield dev. Just wondered why 44 stories? 10 stories shorter would visually fit the neighborhood better and still provide a lot of homes. Thanks for the info. Just reading into the zoning bylaw and it looks like most similar sites to this have CC-X...

Closer to the edge of the Beltline. Not against tall buildings in the Beltline but 44 stories seems excessive for this location and dwarfs other buildings in the area - some but built long ago. Are there height restrictions along 10th, 11th and 12th Ave or just based off FAR?

Nice looking building but seems excessively tall for this location

Great looking building and a very expensive concept. RNDSQR will definitely need the bonus density to make this project feasible with this concept. I'm of the opinion that 9th Ave should have consistent height and the extra density should be for sites next to the lrt. If approved RNDSQR...
