Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

Yup, I went on the Jane's Walk in Sunnyside about affordable housing and Jaydan was there to speak to the group at Triangle. He touched on that, as well as the height being just right at 6 storeys to quickly and affordably get housing built. He sure seems really passionate about scaling up Attainable Homes and delivering more units with this ATCO setup.

6 storeys is a nice step down from the higher projects on 9A St to Palfreyville on 9 st.

None of the new projects on 9A St (Annex, Hive, Kit, Minto) have retail so it's hard to expect retail even further from the main commercial strip. And the city hung so many expectations on this property over the years that it stayed a weedy field.

At least this one has windows on both street-facing sides (unlike AHC's other modular project). Hopefully windows on the LRT side too.

What is happening with the lot across Cold Garden?

Close to the Crown Surplus. The poster for the mid rise is still on the fence but no action ever

The fire station? The city and RNDSQR couldn't make a deal and it fell through, so it's stalled out until the city figures out what they want to do.

A thread for that project:

Inglewood Fire Hall Development | 42m | 12s | RNDSQR | S2

Editing post to add rendering now that DP is submitted: Some initial materials for this development are going to CPC next week for preliminary feedback. For those not familiar, this is a project located at 1204 - 1216 11th Ave SE (Gopher Park) for a mixed use building, incorporating a new...

Got a pretty interesting one for that sliver of triangle directly west of the Lifesport site in Kensington.

Only 7 units, but it looks like a 20 unit project.

I have seen the floorplans. They are...interesting.

These have to be $1M+ townhome units. Excellent location. Beautifully designed building. Large units..

2 units on one floor, and the rest are single units. There is even a 4 bedroom unit in there. But, the layouts leave a lot to be desired...

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but there's a Land Use Redesignation just East of Chinook Centre for MU-1 on the Chinook Plaza strip mall.

It's directly West of the CF "slab towers" (61st Avenue Residential) proposal and calls for 8.0 FAR and a max height of 110m. Here's a bit of an overview of what we have so far for that area.

The 150m parcel is phase 2 of the CF 61st Avenue Residential proposal.

Huh. That's disappointing. Seems like a great project to have some legit family sized units

I think my post wasn't very clear. One one of their floors it is taken up by two units, but all the floors above are just one unit with multiple bedrooms. 3 bedroom and even a 4 bedroom unit.
