The Theodore | 35.66m | 10s | Graywood | Arcadis

It does have a bit of a Miami beach blonde vibe going for it.

I mean c'mon now it's not cream or beige. It's clearly blonde. /s

Hmmm more like an off-eggshell slightly beige blonde cream to me.

Driving down 10 Street like...

Kept on, pursuing to the next stop
I busted a left, and I'm heading to the next block
The block was dead, yo
So I continued to Highway 1 - 16th Avenue

Not great news, but it sounds like RBC is going to move back into the commercial space, I guess the question becomes if that leaves any retail units to activate along the street or do they take it all?

 

[MichaelS]

Yep, looks like a financial instution use permit has been applied for:

DMAP

I wonder why, given the brand new space RBC opened up beside Lido. I wonder what will occupy that site.

On the plus side, another permit for Theodore calls for a Specialty Food Store:

DMAP

I guess since banks are just rolling in money it was no problem to move into that building next to Lido and then plan to pull up and go back to the original spot once the Theo was done.

Banks have strong covenant and never move, a retail landlords dream. Now, there are way too many banks going into new spaces on 10 st nw in kensington. What is important is that there is a rhythm of smaller shop fronts and they don't allow RBC much of the frontage. Banks are not a particularly active use they usually have ads glazed across and blinds drawn, they suck for active retail streets. Hopefully we get a couple other more interesting users in other CRUs here or the Theodore will have added residential density but identical street-level sterility as to the previous use for the site.

I think the trade-off of RBC moving to Theodore is good. It'll be nice to have some other kind of business in the Eisenberg spot.

Oh i forgot they were there. Ya, this will be a perfectly fine trade off.

 

[haltcatchfire]

Unless they spread out more at street level in Theodore. In Eisenberg I believe they have two floors.

 

[Nimbus]

It sounds like RBC will be taking the retail bays further south on this one, leaving those spaces on the north (including the one at the point) open for others.
