The first 2 pics resemble a Soviet prison but the 3rd pic looks fine.

1 building per year more or less…..sounds possible

Such a monstrosity.

Sad to contrast vs the original builds. The thick outer balcony columns really suck on all of eagles’ builds. View attachment 714671View attachment 714672View attachment 714673

Komrade this is a beautiful marvel of Soviet architecture, to the gulag with you.

That last image is an incredible contrast in how the vision of century park devolved. Those original builds still look great so many years later. They are an anomaly in the city

Expect to see excavation on the 16 storey in mid to late summer

Tasteful cladding and a park/playground with trees (I love a little birch pocket forest) in the courtyard would make this shine.

Agreed, very Marzahn. And yes, for this to really work is needs good landscaping and places for people to hang out outside.

Greenery and parks and such would be nice, but I highly suspect it'll be more of what the other phase of this project has. Parking, baby! But lets hope...

I've heard of polishing a turd but you'd have to destroy all of the earth's resources to create enough polish to redeem that.... "thing".

I grew up in similar courtyard type buildings in Poland. The communist era ones were ugly as sin but every last one had a green space in the centre with benches for the olds and simple playgrounds for the littles. They were community hubs. And a pleasant place to overlook. I'll never understand North America's endless obsession with parking.

That'll be so nice. I remember back when Century Park was first unveiled, I had high hopes for it.

The Westbank version was amazing.

This will be ok, but I am happy to see a more urban element included and finally connections to the LRT for the broader community.
