Lyric | 23m | 6s | Ayrshire | Metafor

[Albertasaurus]

DP for a new development in East Village being called "Lyric". Developer is Ayrshire, architect is Metafor. Being this close to the riverfront, setbacks apply so this was inevitably going to be 6 storeys.

Encouraging to see a few applications in East Village, as well as Trico's project just on the other side of the DI. With the state of East Village right now, it'll be a big win to get any of these under construction IMO.

Looks pretty decent. Any of those units commercial? I know it's not the right circumstance in that neighborhood right now, but talk about a great potential setting for some coffee shops/restaurants/patios etc. along Riverfront Lane/Ave.

I don't believe there is any commercial in this one, which I agree could have been really cool

Good to see this lot potentially move forward, and so ends the era of the East Village Centre/Mixed Use Working thingamajig.

Would love to see retail there, but they would have to deal with a lot of vagrants from the DIC in that location so I can see why they didn't include it. I definitely wouldn't want a main floor unit there though...

 

[DiscoStu]

Yeah, I can see why they didn't...but a shame long term if things ever get better in the neighborhood. But you do bring up a good point, selling a main floor residential unit may be just as challenging.

The Arris is having a pretty hard time selling, I'm surprised we're getting proposals here instead of deeper in the EV. With the DIC and the train noise, pleasantly surprised to see a proposal here.
