Not sure who is behind it, but there is a project out there for one of the blocks on 5th avenue adjacent to Riley Park looking to go 12 storeys.

Are there any shadowing protections for Riley Park? I'm all for continuing to add density in this area but at the risk of sounding like a NIMBY, I also don't want to see anything that diminishes our limited inner city parks.

South side of Riley park already has those tall trees, so I think a building to the south will cause minimal shadowing during the sunniest times of the year (and some may even seek out that shade). With plenty of park to the north that can still soak up the sun. I think 12 storeys should be the max for those remaining lots on 5th.

Update on this one, the Dobbin Consulting group has some preliminary information up on this including massing and shadow studies for the proposal.

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but I guess this flyer recently went out.

There was a bit of discussion about it in the Urban Development thread, and I've copied the posts over to this thread. I've also updated the thread with some heights and floors and Dobbin Consulting as the developer even though they are consultants These are added to the title as place holders based on the land use application. This is so the thread shows up in the overall Skyrisecities.com forum. The details will probably change as the proposal evolves.
