General Construction Updates

[O-tac]

Happy to supply the model file to anyone who'd like to play around with it, maybe add some more detail, experiment with materials?

Just noticed the blank wall of the elevator shaft on the smaller tower. Man! The more I study it the worse details I find. Also why does the building have to perfectly line up with the tallest tower leaving zero breathing room and making the silhouette an enormous, uniform blob?

I also see the token heritage facades on Stephen ave now (in the technical drawings). Looks identical to the last proposal including the punch through section.

Does anyone know if this is a real proposal? Or just some FAR-maximizing tire kicking from Triovest?

What’s the source of the details here?

I think this is the older original DP showing both phase 1 and phase 2? Here's one of the original designs for phase 1, which was 66 storeys, but I recall that the second phase included a taller tower.

Is this from a recent DP? I can't make out a date from the drawing, but I'm wondering if this is one of the older versions of the proposal.

I believe it is

Thank God!

How did you come across those plans, FCC?

The prefab townhouses in Seton just doubled overnight. Also, they don’t have garages. There must be designated parking stalls. Very tight site so not sure how long before guests start using the Long & McQuade parking lot.

The main street building’s coming along:

Just to clarify, is it a new DP or a photo from the old version?

Nothing on the city development map about the 7th ave project...

I'm not convinced that this is a bad proposal at all. Most of our Downtown's towers are more or less the same scale and blockiness.

And the only blocks downtown that have any life are the blocks that aren't like that

Bankers Hall fronts onto Stephen Ave and nobody complains about that?

And that frontage is one of the least active parts of Stephen Avenue.

That frontage is one of the least active because of Bankers Hall looming over it, it's pretty much always in the shade.

That drawing is from 2022 - it's a version of the Stephen Avenue Quarter project that is long dead.

Checked out the new enclosed patio at the coffee shop in Elizabeth Square. Quite cozy with the heaters going.

People love to throw around the words "game changer" around here. I think the work Leonard Development Group are doing in Marda Loop is an actual game changer and they are bringing real life into the neighbourhood.

Surely the boards on 7th show they're looking to move on it sometime soon? Interest rates are going down though so no incentive to do it quick > do it right.
Maybe we'll see them come back with a 300+, given it sounds they were ready for a 282. Hopefully with a better podium, and better usage of the 7 Ave space.
