General Construction Updates

[vvvvvv]

The floorplans of those condos are insane, no closets and no storage.
14 units per floor?!

 

[darwink]

I see lots of closets ...

 

[vvvvvv]

Oh shit, you're totally right - sorry sorry I missed those walk-through ones in the two-bedroom units!

They still look very compact, but I guess that's just the standard.

Do you need physical space when you're in the Matrix?

There was a black and white render circulating a while ago, but no name or anything. I like this one, nice to see the developer stick with two main materials. Also, the wood slats under the balcony are a nice touch.

I wonder if it will be actual wood or aluminum soffit made to look like wood similar to what is being used at Westman Village.

I’m betting aluminum soffit. It’s better longterm from a maintenance point of view.

Something happening at 14th and 22nd ave. Does anyone know what is going in this location?

It's a bit gimmicky but if done right, it could be pretty awesome.

I was sitting at the Analog Coffee on 17th by Thomkins park yesterday and wondering what it’s fate will be if Arlington Street owns the building and wants to redevelop it. I can’t think of another corner in the city where you can watch as many different types of people stroll by and feel like you’re in some Metropolitan world city.

If ASI’s goal is to make 17th ave more active and like St. Catherine’s in Montreal why would they choose the best corner of the area which already has character and tons of activity? Why not focus on worse areas like the myriad gravel parking lots, banks, suburban style fast food or failed projects like that whole block between 1st and 2nd street? I can’t think of a single scenario where they replace what is there now with something more vibrant or authentic.

Arlington doesn't own the Analog building.

Arlington doesn't own the Analog building.

Are you sure? I thought it was one of their properties that was listed. I hope you’re right.

It's a small multifamily development, 26 units iirc.

Correct. Three storey townhomes. 4 buildings. 2 face 23rd avenue, 2 face the park with an internal driveway accessing attached garages on the ground floor of each unit (the 23rd avenue units garage is below grade from the street, if that makes sense).

It's a small multifamily development, 26 units iirc.

 

[Surrealplaces]

Nice little density boost. 26 units replacing 4 houses..and one of the houses was a one bedroom clapboard shack.

The site in mission (the old peking dragon space) has construction fencing all around it now, is this project going ahead now?
