I would still rather have this:

Yeah that’s a major loss. This could have been integrated somehow. Even just being creative and building the rest of the block sized building around it. I can’t even imagine it costing more to do that. It was probably more to do with the condo units you would lose in the process?

They should've done a Toronto-style heritage retention!
The old heritage apartment would have been nice to keep of course. My guess is Truman ran the numbers and it didn't make sense financially or they would have kept it somehow. The other possibility was the building needed a lot of money put into it. lot of work

Remember Truman wasn't the original developer of this one, they purchased it after the DP was approved I think.

So far I haven’t seen Truman even try to preserve a single heritage building they’ve bulldozed. Not even a facade.

That rooftop dog area is pretty damn cool.

The city could use a few more of these urban, fenced in dog parks. I know of the one in EV and UD. They're great for smaller dogs that can't really run around in a big off-leash area.

Honestly my lab loved going to little parks like the one in EV and in Currie. Small but all the running it needed. Unfortunately we had a bad experience and had an incident and now we avoid dog parks altogether.

The Minto buildings in Kensington have roof top dog runs, it's starting to become common. I hear a small dog fell off the roof of Annex when they first opened it, dog survived somehow. Lesson learned the hard way.

That's crazy, do they not have fences?

SoDo on 10th Ave SW has a rooftop dog park as well, if I remember right.

They did, dog was just panicking and found a way to squeeze through a gap apparently.
