Looking more like a steel frame structure than an actual container park

The shipping containers will be located on the former park site.

The original plan was to use shipping containers on the three-storey building (and a lot of design work went into that) but there were a lot of technical challenges/concerns with meeting building/energy code items, etc. Given the time constraints, the decision was made to pivot to a conventional steel-frame structure.
 
I still like it even though it is different than the original idea. I went by yesterday afternoon and got a good look.

While it seems a bit close/tight to the street, I think when the construction stuff is removed it will be fine.
 
For those of you who kept whining about the building being too close to the street

Keep in mind that the new Gateway Blvd renewal (which will be constructed next season) will alter that existing turnbay and create a wider sidewalk zone between the new curb and building up to 81 Avenue.

Good to know, yes that would help a lot. It is a quite busy road, so it would be good to have a bit more space, wider sidewalk.
