4th Street Lofts | 115m | 29s | Western Securities | Gibbs Gage

What is the ceiling heights? that could make them 'lofts'. Right now only see barn doors, I guess that makes em lofts!

Floor-to-floor is 3m, so about 9ft - assuming 250mm slab (generous), mech&elec in slab, and exposed concrete ceilings (soft loft).

I'm not a fan of the column layout, but there's probably a reason for the way it is. I despise barn doors on bedrooms.

Wallumns are pretty common for resi nowadays. What don't you like about the layout?

Why are barn doors so popular? they let way too much noise and light in for my taste!

I'm fine with wallumns, there's just a bunch of small columns directly adjacent to each other. I'll give them credit that at least they're in the partitions, but I feel like a more optimal spacing could have saved some material/money/carbon.

There's probably a reason for the way it is (i.e. constructability, in-slab mechanical, etc.)

Just listening to the presentation at CPC this afternoon, and the architect confirmed that they will re-use as much of the existing brick from the demo'd buildings as they can in the build of this new project, hence why the careful deconstruction. The brick, and some glass blocks that they can salvage.

Developent Permit was approved.

Awesome! Given that they're stripping the brick now I imagine that they're looking to go on this pretty soon

I wonder if they’ll use the brick in the units as feature walls to give them a “loft” feel.

My guess would be that they re-use the bricks in the amenity spaces and lobby as a feature.

I'd love to see someone buy the Sunalta Block site and restore the small commercial building with a tower incorporated similar to this project.

You’d have to think that this is going to be starting soon or they wouldn’t of bothered doing the demo yet. That’s my hope at least.

You'd think but in this city we've had empty lots post-demolition for years sometimes

I wonder what is the all time winner of a lot that had buildings, was demolished, and has stayed vacant for the longest time..

Good question. Where 1334-10th is going in has been an empty lot for at least 30 years, maybe longer.

What was in place where Anthem's Waterfront is? I remember that parcel being empty for decades seems like.
