If you live in that spot it’s pretty walkable.

I lived in windemere and would say the currents is “possible to walk” but not “walkable”. It’s full of massive parking lots, disconnected sidewalks, wide arterials with heavy traffic, large distances between most stores, and only accessible by a few hundred residents without a car who live in the apartments.

I've sometimes wondering what the Currents of Windermere was meant to reference. Was it perhaps in reference to traffic flow?

Mostly agree, just saying that spot the Safeway is what about a fifty yards away. Restaurants and all types services are super close. Yes it would take some parking lot frogger, not pretending it’s ideal, but everything is right there.

I always wondered why this parcel took so long to get developed. Ian, you guys got some towers in on this one?

I do hope those empty store fronts in the building fill up and encourage more mixed use buildings nearby to get rid of the surface parking lots but also develop a dense urban street scape.

One thing about Windermere is it does seem to be pretty leasable,, these are different units so who knows but it wouldn’t surprise me to see these get leased up.

Highest HHI and disposable incomes (on avg.) in the city I believe.

A few more of these in Winderemere would be ideal.
