nice, think that takes out some really crappy old duplexesThe S2 Architecture one at 716 - 58th Avenue is by Brava Development Corp, called Chinook Landing:

Good density for the area. It would be nice to see some kind of pedestrian cyclist pathway along 4th st. that goes between Chinook Centre and Heritage station.

I'd like a building like this in one of those empty lots along the CP tracks, like just west of Marriott Residence Inn. I could easily live with the faux historic architecture.

Interesting project. That spot near Chinook is certainly under utilized, however this project is going to be huge. Average size of 613 sqft is interesting, likely will be a mix of mostly one beds.

Just saw this posted on 546 Architecture's IG. This might be for Rndsqr's Inglewood site.

Whatever it is, I like it. The Barcode does some pretty good stuff!

Looking a bit closer at the pic, the building to the left of the rendered building, looks like the old CIBC building. This could very well be for that Inglewood location. If that's the case, then holy crap!

I'm counting about 12 storeys in that render that's on the ground. That would be groundbreaking for that area, and really for the city to have that kind of exceptional architecture outside of the core, yet highly visible. Almost like a monument to "this is possible."

I wonder how hard the community would fight that. What is the maximum height in Inglewood?

I'm thinking back to that proposal that was out there for the Osteria site in Hillhurst, it stood out but not in a lot of good ways. Something like that rendering above on a site like that would be amazing.

Well, we can get a bit of a preview at the public hearing on December 16th, when Hungerford's 9th Avenue project goes forward. Based on what has been written in the CA's newsletter about other developments, their past reaction to The Grid, and recent speakers at a committee meeting about the Developed Areas Guidebook (and referencing the proposed Historic East ARP), I don't anticipate they will look upon this scale of development favourably. Maybe an outstanding design will help sway them.
In terms of what is the maximum height? Well, that is a bit influx right now with the draft ARP not being adopted yet. The currently valid ARP from 1993 has a height limit of 20m I believe (this is what caused much issue with Avli if I recall, which proposed a 22m height). I'd provide a link, but the City's website makes you download it to your harddrive.
The draft ARP calls for greater density and heights in some areas, but is not really well received by both Inglewood or Ramsay CAs.

The height on Avli being 2m taller than the ARP is a battle I remember hearing about lol. 12 Storeys would be a huge fight with the CA, but with a design like this, I hope they don't manage to stop it. What ever happened with that 20 storey tower by the truck stop in Inglewood?
