Hopefully there's some aesthetic elements and not just solar panels.

I forgot about Leon the Frog! That's funny.

This line from the article confuses me a bit:

But instead of replacing the precast concrete panels, Dragicevic and his team — along with the university's sustainability team — decided to install 1,100 square metres of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels.
The PVs protect the insulation that's behind them while also generating electricity, says Dragicevic.

The pics make it look like there's bare insulation behind the solar panels. I hope that's not the case. You can have something sustainable that doesn't look ugly. This reminds me of that hideous affordable housing tower by Chinook.

Does anyone know what's going into that location in the post above?

Improved multi family.

What an ugly development, glad to see it gone!

 

[konradiical]

Improved multi family.

I might be wrong, but isn't this just an extention of the university district?

 

[Mountain Man]

Yes, It's the U/D. Therefore, improved multi family

First building at Crown Park underway

I wish there was a bit higher density on that Crown Park location, but I’m happy to see some development happening.
