I really like the brick and the deeper coloured window reveals. Does anyone know a good local supplier for these types of window reveals? I'd like to price them out. These things...

This is genuinely my favourite project in the City right now, by a long shot. scale design and materials. Really good stuff

The density proposed is unlikely to be built, and the 2500 unit count is very likely higher than will be built. It’s a hard CA and community to get this through, so I would take the same approach with the LOC as they did. Go in high and get whittled down to what you actually intend to build. I...

I think it would. We have too many people that come from land development in the city that don’t care about the velocity of capital return, they are taking advantage of the City’s want for density to hold for extortionate land values for unproven assets with no comps. Spread density out it could...

I toured this site and I’ve never seen a multifamily development with more parking infrastructure and car orientation. It’s crazy. Check out the suburban power centre parking lot attached it sucks big time. All of the commercial spaces on the upper parking lot are leased and none of the street...

Apparently a lot of money is going to be spent on interior fixturing of the retail. I am expecting good things

It’s just so sterile. Art installation is boring and not useful/functional, lots of expanses of blank walls and little street front activation. Lack of street front activation at a ´major intersection of two main streets’ leads me to believe redevelopment of the entertainment district will be...

Only building besides StreetSide’s that has come out of all the rezoning applications in Inglewood and Ramsay after all those approved LOCs. So far the only other sites have got land use redesignations for mid rise concrete and this is the only one that will get built. Happy to see this get...

Site was for sale and wasn’t an appealing price. But Bow Mark just did the sidewalk indem work, so either InDevelopments was on the hook to do it as a condition of DP release, or it sold and an influx of cash has entered the picture because it sold. Not seeing a lot of trades activity though

Thé 114 Ave and 29 St SE site will almost certainly be townhomes or stacked townhome buildings, maybe one or two 4 storey apt. Retail will be strip mall turning its back on the streets around it. Tons of surface parking and hardie panel and EZ trim as far as the eye can see. I don’t even think...

Yay, another land use redesignation to pump the speculative value of another site in Inglewood, without anything ever getting built in the neighbourhood.

If there was a plan specific to Macleod Trail that went to Council i am unaware of it. I just know that in the MDP Macleod Trail is a Main Street and in the newer Heritage LAP all of the language around what the design of Macleod Trail was safeguarded it's current stroad characteristics through...

which plays directly into having the pro urban voices pushing for Elbow, Acadia, Fairmount, Southland and Heritage Drives as Main Streets instead. Which the City conveniently avoided in favour of Macleod Trail in the recent LAP. That’s how they’ve got away with having zero main streets in South...

I don’t disagree that Macleod is a lost cause without a significant reimagining, but the City isn’t communicating that they are pretending it is a Main Street which is my point. Other places have been able to convert these stroad typologies or arterials into places that move a significant volume...

Ah, widening a “Main Street” to 11 lanes wide. That seems to be right in line with our current main streets policy, the City shouldn’t work on improving that.

I really like it. Curious to see materials and execution but so much better than most were seeing in the city

Hardie Lap siding is ~$8psf, even a thin brick is like ~$25psf for the first two floors and probably like ~$30-35psf for anything above the second floor. This stripe of different coloured lap siding is an unnecessary addition that doesn't add to the design:

Good thread of discussion. I genuinely think the City has no idea what they are doing with the Main Streets policy and don’t understand what they are trying to create. The south has no decent main streets in the inner city that have a proper street wall scale, so the demand is pushed into Marda...

No irrigated planters filled with rocks, 100% of the design is how to get a garbage removal truck to the Molok garbage system that will be the centre piece of the frontage onto 17th Ave. Truly inspirational stuff. They couldn’t have extended the building forward to meet the sidewalk or used the...
