The problem for me is I hate that mid-century vibe. Can’t stand Elveden Centre.

A bit of a facelift and some dramatic lighting is all it really needs on the outside.

It's not a big amount of units, but once they're converted they forever be residential. If we can convert a few more here and there it will add up over time.

Really surprised by the lack of news about new conversions. Nothing in 3 months, when we were on fire for a good year before that.

The subsidy is tapped out iirc. Why would any private conversions be announced if they expect more subsidy to come.

I understand there was a lot of applications and interest in phase 3 of the program. My guess is we will start to see some announcements of approved projects in a couple months. I'm expecting Hanover, Place 800, Rocky Mountain Plaza and Dominion to be some of the approved buildings

Looks like the conversion is underway to the building on the east side of 1St SE and 9th Ave. Some plywood hoarding and white bins are on the southside of the building. The picture is from some distance.. apologies.

I think it is a façade restoration.
