Get your paws off my conveniently located local gas station.

I use that station too. I also use the Esso on 1St SE. There aren't too many gas stations in the core.

Not alot as the land is more expensive, and many of the residents walk or cycle. It's still nice to have a few around for the convenience.

There's always the PetroCan just a stone's throw away on 14th to serve the Hillhurst crowd. The Shell being so close to the Ctrain station seems like an incongruous waste of a good location.

The gas station was probably there before the C Train existed.

Has anyone seen the renderings/plans for this?

 

[MichaelS]

Well, they have a marketing website up, but no renderings there:
https://theodorecondos.com/

Graywood's own website has an image though:
https://graywoodgroup.com/communities/

Interesting to note on the Graywood website, they list an Eau Claire project as "coming soon". I wonder if this is the Lacaille site?

 

[MichaelS]

Oh, found a more clean rendering on the Hillhurst Sunnyside CA website:

Generic design. But at this point it all depends on materials.

Generic design. But at this point it all depends on materials.

From the community association pre-engagement feedback on the DP:
"The materiality is very bland and non-impactful. The combination of white panels throughout and cream- coloured stone creates a very large façade that is completely void of contrast and visual interest. We understand that the use of the high-quality white metal panels you have suggested can be successful, as is illustrated in some of your provided precedents. However, these precedent projects all incorporate some elements which create a more dynamic design including: articulation and undulation of the building form, strategic use of additional colours and materials, and inclusion of other textural items such as screens and strategic use of mullions on windows. Without some kind of additional elements, the effect of these materials is lost, and the building design becomes boring instead of memorable."

Daaaaaamn HSCA coming in hot with those takes on the material choices.

 

[Urb]

I can confirm that Graywood bought the Lacaille Eau Claire site

Mullions on the windows it is I guess....or maybe more bold colors like St John's lol.

 

[haltcatchfire]

I don't really like this one but careful what you wish for HSCA.
