Maybe there are utilities under the sidewalks that preclude trees?

That would be my guess. North side of 10th Avenue doesn't have a rear lane (it abuts the CPKC main line), so there is most likely a shallow utility line assignment that does not allow trees.

That’s gotta be it, otherwise I can’t see the city approving it without adding trees.

It was a similar issue with the Residence Inn I believe:

Probably why they put trees on the amenity level.

 

[maestro]

They could have done worst on the garage than missing street trees. It's a basic design. It's still one of the better above ground garages I've seen in Canada

How about some planter boxes ?

When is tower two commencing?

 

[maestro]

The same situation as tower 1. When they receive approval from the national housing strategy for a CMHC loan.

Looks like Phase 2 might be soon? Remediation (likely asbestos removal prior to demo) and fenced off neighbour building.

What’s also interesting is the last building on this block, the corner building is for sale? Hopefully the developer buys it and we get a phase 3 in the future.

 

[Cowtown]

it’ll be nice to see another high-rise going up in that area.

Would love to see a highrise a bit further west in Sunalta, would make it all part of downtown...
