General Construction Updates

4th definitely holds promise. There are a few things in the vicinity presently and it will soon have development on almost all the blocks immediately straddling the underpass. That's a rarity, particularly as you go west. The other thing that could help is Grosvenor's stated plans to push Mission north of 17th. Maybe in a half dozen years 4th will serve as the key north South connection.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say Grosvenor wants to push Mission? north of 17th Ave. They want to change The neighbourhood boundaries ?

I don't know about any of that per se, but Grosvenor at least wants to extend the active part of 4th further North. They said so themselves.

It would be awesome if they developed that lot on 4th. It would help fill in the streetscape from downtown to Mission. Good find Oddball!

I wish someone would buy that parcel where that Chinese restaurant is on 4th and do something with it.

You mean the one that has the pink stucco? I think it's called Peking Garden or something like that. Yes, that would be a great spot for a new development.

Centro on 20th and Centre Street has some cladding up now. Fairly basic coloring.

Moda proposal for Bankview. Nice to see something outside of the box.

Centro is very vanilla literally and figuratively. It reminds me of the Torode Inglewood building. The Moda design is more what I like to see.

Pretty neat project from MoDA. It would be way out of the box anywhere in the city, but in Bankview it'll look like it was dropped off by a flying saucer.

Who's the developer behind the Moda project?

When I first saw the brick go up on the podium, I was excited to think it might be finished nicely .. With its lack of balconies and flat appearance, I was concerned about it going full-Torode-Inglewood .. Now after seeing the cladding and clashing colours, I'm disappointed to see how it's being finished

It's looking like it will be a lot like the Torode's, but I think the light colors will be better. Here are some from yesterday, you can see the darker blueish-gray now going up.
