This answers your question Missing Middle. I would suggest that the City look at significantly increasing the tax rate every time a parking lot goes in for a DP to remain a temporary parking lot. The longer they stay a parking lot the more burdensome the taxes should be until the carrying...

Here is a how i would quickly look at a concrete high-rise on a downtown lot that is for sale right now. 1009 9 Ave SW is for sale right now for just under $12M (a little over $10M per acre). Land appears to be zoned CR20. This allows for a base density of 3FAR before density bonusing. You can...

This was exactly what I was gonna post that’s similar

The lack of window placement and the size consistency between the white spandrel bands is just bugging me for some reason

Probably around ~$700psf saleable. Used to be closer to ~650psf. Just guessing as i haven't priced out concrete in a while. Numbers for rental are different though.

Nice design for this and Avi’s Autumn project. Hope to see more of this kind of this simplified approach to design more moving forward. Especially vertically articulating full block apartments to look more like an organic streetscape

Nice! good site for them. Looking forward to what they propose

I over shot my estimate by 250-350 units haha

throw a patio block or two or a couple pavers in a few locations to facilitate foot traffic, is how i've seen this solved previously, mostly by private homeowners who planted in these areas. Use desire lines or create them basically. I really want to see the 13th Avenue greenway be the norm...

Love this facelift, perfect really. Only design choice i'd prefer is some room for plants between the brick wall and sidewalk. Just softens the edge, i prefer no hardscaping to hardscaping. ' The City really needs to do something with all these grass landscaping strips that are all over the...

I would suggest that this development is probably a never-term. It would be easier to just use the base density in the DC, build 6-storey rental apartments now and be done with it. The sunk equity of funding an LRT system to then upgrade service connections and do public realm improvements to...

Love this building, excellent concept. Great job Dialog and Urban Capital!

Anyone know what that Black material likely could be?

Can do in June

At this point, spanderel away on tower exteriors above the two to three storey podium. But for the love of god push more permanent materials and good design on the podiums.

Ultimately the problem is mobility Eng at the city pushing excessive car orientation. I think the excessive surface parking could have been avoided though but a lot of developers still think it’s necessary

True, mostly just that the older demographic trends whiter than younger gens. Coming from Vancouver development/planning you’re not wrong at all

Sure, easy to say that it’s all genders. Less so for colour, opposition is pretty overwhelmingly white. But the common thread is the opposition is much older and largely boomers or older gen xers, and I’d be surprised if that’s a contentious point. Not exactly the folks we need to be focussing...

Will age poorly in restrospect as a TOD project if fully built out in this fashion. Deals with the current mobility conditions as it had to in the DP conditions, but is a good example of maximizing car orientation for something that is supposed to be TOD. Lots of parking to traverse as a pedestrian.
