Lake, skyline, and Rockies. Probably the best view-potential in the city. Doesn’t need to be mid-rises though. The nearby triple tower development sets a precedent for high rises in the area.

Ohhhh my god! The Taylor, Fina, and 744 buildings all going ahead next? Jesus that’s a huge win. Two more residential conversions on Stephen Avenue 
likely accompanied by retail at grade to extend the Avenue west. So like 530 units in 5 projects? Not bad at all.

These buildings seem nicer and better located than the ones in the earlier rounds

Both the Fina and Taylor buildings have a nice mid-century vibe...so I hope they don't go and ruin those facades with some cheap patterned paneling.
The others, they can do whatever the hell they want with...

That's what I was thinking too. The facades on Fina and Taylor have a nice funkiness to them....just like the sierra building had. I pray they don't do too much to those buildings, but I have a feeling the retained historical element for Fina, will be the stainless steel portico.

Owners are very much leaning into the architectural value of these buildings in the conversions.
It's not going to happen. The parking lots fill up in the summer. I think they expanded the parking just a few years ago.

Got a notice in the mail about the South Shaganappi Communities Area Plan, very interested to see what the city has planned for this area. There is a lot of empty space around here, can easily double the current population.

I hope the Fina building doesn't get covered up with that cheap composite paneling they're putting on everything these days.Owners are very much leaning into the architectural value of these buildings in the conversions.
