I’m really jacked for this one. As long as they don’t “Cidex” the materials and design (WV) this should turn out really cool. Love that outdoor garden halfway up, that will be the statement piece if it turns out as pictured.

I can live with this conversion. They kept most of the original architectural pieces that made it unique (arches, fins), while freshening up the main cladding. Once the balcony glass goes in and it’s fully painted and touched up I think it will be good. I’ll give it a 7.5/10 for now and might...

Damn!!! Make this happen!

Looks like a nicer version of Edmonton’s library haha! I’ll take it!

I would rather Lincoln start up first, but if this goes ahead first I won’t complain!

What is the point of those sticks? Does anyone actually know if they serve a purpose?

I think some colour change could help those condos. If Sasso and Vetro painted all the green stucco white or black I think it would help. If NuEra painted their cream stucco white it would also help.

I like the blue. Would have ditched the brown and gone blue. Overall a nice development, I’ve seen worse…..

I really hate that row of windows/mesh along the top. As more of the tiles get installed, that row really distracts from the nice smooth waves pattern. At the least, the row should have either been all mesh or all windows, not both.

Where is this Stampede Station location? Is this the half block lot right next to the current red brick stampede station office tower across from the Victoria Park CTrain station?

A shame that big tree died.

That is insane. My mortgage for a 2460 square foot house is only $2650 a month….and I’m still upset because I had to renew my mortgage and was paying $2300 before that. Who the hell is renting these things?

I don’t like those balconies. They freak me out that they will collapse haha.

I read the modular part, so will this be built the same way the Alt Hotel in EV was built? I actually really like the Alt Hotel. Your point about colour is dead on. If this was all black with slightly bigger windows and maybe a slightly different massing I think it would have been a slam dunk.

I wish these architects would stop trying to butter up their projects. Just be honest. “Hey, we have a limited budget and don’t really give a shit about how affordable housing looks. This is the best we got.”

I agree. I think the original building (when it was new) was far superior, but it was looking old, worn, and tired. I don’t mind this conversion so far. I’d rank it second behind Cube, but far better than the Eau Clare buildings and that vinyl siding abomination I will not name.

lol,

Hmm I’d take a Ritz Carlton, Shangri-La, or Fairmont as a hotel brand.
