Thanks for the pics. I like this project mainly for the scale, we could add 100 of these to the peripheral inner city neighborhoods.

some might say its boring but i find it way better than the multi (bad) colour multi (bad) material projects going up all over the place these days.

Haha oh.yeah for sure, sometimes I feel like the designers just closed their eyes and picked colours for some of the exteriors.
Make that a couple of hundred and we'll call it a Christmas gift
A couple more infill shots from Marda Loop
I'm really starting to like these small 8-12 unit developments that are popping up on corners around the inner city. Not necessarily for the design and materials, but the massing and use.

Also a lot of these three or 4 unit places popping up everywhere.

No rendering (that I can find at least) but a DP was submitted yesterday for a 16 unit mixed use building in the SW corner of 14th Street and 19th Ave SW:

Banff Trail is starting to have a lot of the 4-unit rowhouses on corners. 24th avenue in particular.

It's the new trend, and I like it. I much prefer the 4-6 unit corner complexes then the usual onslaught of duplexes. Though I wish the city would increase the zoning a notch on some of the corridor type roads like 24th Ave.

This is a good example of what I'd like to see more of along 24th or 20th, etc..

Purpose built rental, courtesy of yours truly. Still was able to squeeze some exceptional materials and quality products into a budget minded build.

Looks good. Corrugated metal isn't usually a favorite of mine, but it beats hardy board any day of the week.

Good to see this type of development in the city. We need more of it. Personally, not my style in terms of colours, but that's just my personal style. What's the situation with trees? Waiting until spring to plant? Or are these units pretty much up against the PL?
Agreed. I'm a fan of these small 3-6 unit developments that have been popping up on corners. Very human scaled that feels much like a single family home for those who like that style, yet offers good density.
Fairly large infill project on 14th street and 23rd ave. Huge density boost as 5 units are being replaced with 24 units.
