Crown Park | 11m | 3s | Brookfield

Plans for a 5 storey condo in the SE corner got shared to residents back in 2020 and received lots of feedback. Per Brookfield:

"We firmly believe DC 3 / Site 5 is the “right” location for an apartment building. However, in response to local feedback, we have modified the proposed regulations for DC 3 / Site 5 to restrict the future building envelope in such a way that will ensure a sensitive transition to the existing development. These proposed regulations will allow for a maximum building height of 10 metres (approximately 3 storeys) directly adjacent to 24 Street SW. The building will then be able to “step up” to 16 metres (4-5 storeys). After 16 metres, the height will increase proportionately within a “line of sight” to a maximum of 26 metres."
 
Here a concept sketch from them:

🤢 Has anyone else been by these townhouses since they've completed? I really should have pulled in and taken a picture. Every single townhouse has white PVC furnace intake / exhaust pipes sticking out about 2-3 feet over the driveways.
 
Sad but not surprising. Even from the pictures months ago, this looks only marginally better than the new townhouse developments going up in Livingston, Belmont, Belvedere etc. Even the stuff going up in Alpine Park shows a lot more character and attention to detail than this does (IMO).

Epic fail for a TOD site.
