The Galloway | 37m | 10s | Ayrshire | EFG Architects

If I recall the residential towers were something 40 and 34 stories. The Commercial tower was close to the current built tower. Can't quite recall.

This block hasn't had a building on it since about 2000, it's been a parking lot ever since, and has been at least partially a parking lot since the 1970s according to old aerial pictures. Of the nearby upgrades, the DJD/Kanahoff expansion and upgrade was a mid-2010s vintage, with Hotel Arts, 1st Street condos and 13th Avenue Greenway happening mid/late 2000s. MacLeod Trail condo alley was all late 2000s vintage if I recall correctly.

Being "run down" is a bit subjective, but from a built-form perspective, I think the case can be made that the area is currently the least run-down it's been since at least the early 1960s. That was the last time this block was completely full of development.
