faster than this?

Easily. A crew could frame and stand up walls for that thing in a day. These printed buildings are so friggin stupid.

There is a section of grass beside the pathway that's fenced off this week. Between the volleyball courts and Crowchild, anyone know what's happening here? pin

Thanks for that! So I expect a lot of disruption to my commute for the next year while construction happens extremely slowly...

I believe they are focusing on the river area for the rest of this year, and will handle the more southern parts of the park next summer.

I'll try to remember to take a few pictures of what's currently fenced off when I go through in a few hours. I'm usually booking it through that area, so I may forget lol.

I think I’ve found what’s being built south of the Long & McQuade in Seton. Looks promising. Based on the massing of the townhome portion (building 1 in site plan) I think this might be the design. Nothing has been dug yet for the 5 story building. Looks like phase 1 is probably building 1 and 2 townhomes. They’re moving very fast though.

Looks like it could be really nice if it was more uniform and they left out all those weird angles. Are we evolving from the random rectangle era to the random triangle era?

Will love to see Hardie Panel and Easy Trim random triangles. Yeesh

I don't mind the triangles, but thought the material was brick at first. One for certain, it won't like the typical suburban clone we are seeing these days.

 

[O-tac]

Yeah I don’t mind the triangles. At least it's something that could fit in the inner city.

Agree. I’d be totally fine with one of these in the inner city somewhere.

The section I fear will be easy trimmed is the townhomes not the mixed use building. There appear to be hardie panels in that spot on the rendering. Across the street is easy trim central on the affordable housing complex beside the fire station.

So far the windows look high quality with black trim and I like the inset balconies.

Lots of stuff in Seton going on, not even counting all the cookie cutter 4 story condos further south. Here are some updates:

This looks like utility work for another retail section of the entertainment district area.

Massive elevator cores right next to the road leaving Superstore. Have no idea what project this is:
