I remember there being something about it in the Rivers District Master Plan, and that the concern beyond 2 floors seemed to be shadows at street level
 
I agree with most people's comments that it's a nice addition but not ground breaking. However, I'm excited that this building will contribute to the improving 8th streetscape, which I feel like is turning into a nice north-south connection with the addition of the Urban Fare and Canadian Tire. It will be nice if they can start the improvements to 8th street to get better pedestrian experience. However, the hole that is the Safeway parking lot is still a disaster 😖

There is something wrong with the camera match in this shot. The scale factor seems wrong with regards to the contextual building adjacent, and the balconies. I only bring it up because it makes the tower and podium look really forced in. I guess I'm just "nit picking". I don't mind the tower, but it seems to crush the the podium.
 
Agree with the general comments on this thread.......Not to set the bar too low, but this is a step up from Redstone...so I'm happy. Great location for a big density boost.

If anything, I think they could have injected some creativity on the lane activation.

This project doesn't touch 12 Ave It sits on the corner of 8th street and 13th Ave. So no this isn't the "Rumoured 12 Ave project"

Could still be this one. I had heard it as being ‘down around 12th Ave’ I had heard from a friend who heard from someone else, I’m trying to get some more info.
 
Curious about what is going on with this one too. Also, the building just south of this is all fenced off as well now.
