The schematics and whatnot are available on the DMAP now.
Looks great, pretty big space on the main floor for a grocery store, and lots of other CRU's with good street presence on the south, east and west sides of the building. This will be a massive boost to west hillhurst. Between a significant number of new residents, plus almost single handedly creating a whole new retail node, this project will do wonders for the area.
Hopefully this marks the beginning of transforming Kensington Road. I'd love for Kensington Road to be relatively vibrant from 10th Street to Crowchild. As it is, west of 14th Street is over built and under utilized. I think there's great potential to make this a really pleasant and vibrant strip. Drop it to one lane in each direction, add some curb cuts, maybe a bike lane, widen the side walks, plant some trees and you're well on your way to a half decent street.
