We’re going to turn into Montreal with H-GO, that’s creating all those external stairs to unit entrances. I know this one isn’t actually H-GO, but without the commercial space it’s technically the form.

I think these are a bit different. Most of the new infills in this area have stairs so they have higher ceilings and a sunshine basement. Montreal units usually have external stairs to the second floor units (for apartments)

Crane going up on 6th Ave just west of 5th St SW, across from the court house. Not sure which project this might be for?

A new hotel proposed for dowtown, going to CPC next week. It is located on a small, 50' parcel, just to the north of the Court House at 614 6 Ave SW. There used to be a small 2 storey building on the site, with a Tim Hortons at the base. I say used to, because when I walked by a couple nights...

Love it
The Season Pool looks interesting...is it actually going to be warmed up and used in the winter? In any case, even having it for the summer would be nice, the water park at Eau Claire got lots of use. I could see having the season pool warmed so as to extend into the shoulder seasons, say from early May to late October, or such.

Ummm… wow. Holy man, I mean we’ll be lucky if we even get 20% of this grandeur, considering it’s just a concept. But still, very nice.

Agreed - Wow - very ambitious. Hoping we can get 80% of this at least (but sadly I’m doubtful).

Some sort of pool complex whether it be indoor or outdoor is a good idea for that spot. Downtown desperately needs an aquatic centre.

Remington is looking at converting the Quarry Park Stonehenge into a residential project.
