Geez, that's crazy. I mean it looks like it fits right in with the rest of the street. I wonder if the new blanket zoning is the only reason it got off the ground?

My thoughts exactly. It looks no bigger or higher than a semi-detached that is all over the inner-city. They even had the 3rd floor only be in the centre so from the side it's no taller than a 2 storey build.

A NIMBY is gonna NIMBY, and he is apparently pretty well connected at the City level too.

DP was approved in February 2022 and SDAB denied an appeal from Brian Bass, David Brindle, and Paul Galachiuk in June 2022.

What did these folks do post-appeal to hold the project up for another 3 years?

They absolutely rocked it with Carisbrooke so I look forward to this one too.

Wow. I get that people have the right to be concerned about developments around them surroundings, but stuff like this is beyond ridiculous.

Infill at 21st Ave and 20st NW

I was passing through Mount Pleasant this morning, I can’t believe how many infills are going in everywhere. I took a few photos, but this is only a fraction of the infills that are going in. These photos are from only a two square block area!

I see they went with landscaping of grey rocks with random big grey rocks. That's a choice

As a resident of the area, I'd love it if they would shake things up a bit by not using the white stucco/grey hardyboard combo on every single freaking building.

20th avenue is hilariously bumpy with all the tie-ins.

I don't live too far from that area. I was thinking of doing a bike ride around the area capturing all the new infill projects, but there are so many, it would take all day. Without exaggerating, I would say there is one of these projects either u/c or recently finished on almost every block in Mount Pleasant. Same for Capitol hill.

Agreed. While it may be a climate change friendly/drought resistant choice, it certainly isn’t attractive. There’s no soft landscaping to minimize the harsh appearance.
