Awesome! the existing building looks terrible, and that stretch needs some love!

With a Making Waves investment, it isn't a stretch to see us being a Summer Olympic city.

The scale of hotel assets needed for a summer Olympics — Vancouver falls short too, with about 3x the number of rooms. You might think that the athletic facilities would be the expensive bits, but the athletes village is the 800 pound gorilla.

You could put a 100ft mural of me getting punched in the face by my ex wife's new boyfriend on the front of the building and I'd still take it over a downtown parking lot.

Finally a fresh concept for a mural.

Damn! Bluestone on 12th looks like ass. Like others have said, it's great to see a Beltline parking lot disappear but I really hope they take another pass at the aesthetics on this one.

It looks like they're drawing inspiration from awkward office conversions. A new vernacular has emerged.

They are sort of running out of primary colours...and some of the other available colors don't exactly roll off the tongue.

It's just been submitted so hopefully there's an opportunity for the file manager and Urban Design Review Panel to coax them into some aesthetic improvements.

Agree that it's not exactly a looker, but I still think it's a huge win to replace surface parking with a couple hundred or so residents (it's 195 units). That said, it's a far cry from Truman's u/c towers; this is one of those cases when I'm thankful it's not taller.
