Three months since our last update, and progress at the site of Opus Corporation's 5-storey South Bank in Inglewood has been making advances. In particular, cladding work has continued as a slow but steady pace, glass to be found upon every level of the 69-unit mid-rise development.
Located along 9 Ave SE in the heart of Inglewood, South Bank joins several other projects in the area, including the adjacent AVLI on Atlantic. Part of the changing face of the rapidly intensifying district, South Bank itself will bring an additional 100 residents to the neighbourhood.
Created as a rental building, South Bank will add some much needed apartment stock to the area, its 69 units to be split between 7 townhomes, 25 two-bedrooms, and 37 one-bedrooms. The generous availability of family-sized units will be a boon to the district, as it will encourage young families to embrace the neighbourhood.
Designed by Kasian, South Bank will feature a mix of traditional and modern materials across its facade, including brick, glass, and spandrel. Most significantly for the 9 Ave SE corridor, South Bank will also include a multi-bay, 12,632 sq.-ft. retail space at grade which will go a long way towards supporting the pedestrian vibrancy that Inglewood has long enjoyed.
SkyriseCalgary will be sure to return to this project as progress continues. For more information, check out the associated Database file and Forum thread, and as always, feel free to join the conversation in the comments section below.
