Not a new project per se, but it looks like this building in Chinatown is getting a refresh/update:

Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

I like seeing things happen in Chinatown! Really excited to see the neighbourhood evolve, many of the businesses already have.

A new DP has been submitted along 1st Ave NE in Bridgeland. It is replacing a DP that was submitted in 2021 for a single storey commercial building. New one is a different architect, for a licensed retaurant. I think this is the lot where the house "exploded" last year:

That's really awesome!
Rica Migrino (one of the project designers as listed in the bottom of the post there) was on my team for the capstone project of my Urban Studies degree.
