Probably narrow the floor plates over what has already been completed for the foundation. I wonder if they will go higher than 5 floors.
40 years from now when the Green Line is finished, it'll be a good sized transit node

Wait is the official name Quarry Park Stonehenge? Or is that a joke haha.
What even is that thing supposed to be?

It’s because they only ever completed the elevator cores, so just a bunch of cores five storeys tall sticking out of the ground.

some notes from the open house:
- Intent is to reuse the built 3-storey parkades and elevator/stairwell cores for the development
- Approx. 1100 units, "vast majority rental"
- Landscaped site edges to remain and improved
- Above-ground parkade structure on the north end of the site is no longer going forward, will be developed as residential building
- Single DC land use divided into 3 sub-areas:
A: 2 storeys/10m
B: 4 storeys/18m
C: 8 storeys/29m, in addition to a maximum of two point towers up to 13 storeys/42m
- Point towers required to fully utilize the existing parkade structure of almost 1k stalls. 8 storey buildings are the maximum height able to be supported by the parkade.
- Intent to submit DP for the three 8 storey buildings above the parkade before land use approval

Not nearly as ambitious as I thought it would be. Why wouldn't you build 6 story woodframe in zone B and at least 3 stories in zone A? Considering this site is a short walk to the Green Line station they should go all out.
