This looks great. Although two things bother me - that steel column supporting the landing on the exterior stair in the SE corner. It totally interferes with the flow of walkway below. It's a tight area and they should have gone with no columns. Second, there's a standard circular catch basin in the outdoor patio area that will interfere with the placement of patio furniture. They could have used a different type of cover.

Over all it does look great. I don't care for the rooftop section either with the crazy distracting colors. The abstract concept is cool, but it would have been better taking the same color as the main extension and doing several different shades of that. As is, they clash and cut off the fluidics of the two portions. Add that to the bricks side, it becomes really busy for me... and disjointed, somewhat, altogether.

I highly recommend Salted Caramel.

I hate that it is not accessible.

Are you sure it's not? Might be another way to enter from the inside

There seemed to be a ramp and door to the side unit but it doesn’t lead to Kind. Everyone has to go through the one door and over the bump. I tripped on it…

It looks like that entrance isn't finished yet, with some material poking out at the bottom. Hopefully something is being added to make it accessible and eliminate that step.

I was waiting for someone to point out that obvious observation

Plum, who has a shop in the OG OEX, is opening an interior design showroom in OEX2. Are there any other retail spots, or is it just Kind & Plum in the bottom and Foundry Room up top?

Too bad the ground in the little 'square' in the back couldn't be anything more exciting than bland concrete. I dream of cobblestones! Also, wasn't there talk of a wine bar coming in?

cobblestone in pedestrian ways is not very accessible vis-a-vis wheelchairs.

That’s true, but there are also other options. Always easy to say when it’s not my money, but I wish they had spent a wee bit more on this area.

A reasonably inexpensive application might look like one of these...

Wine bar with be in this back patio area on the OEX2 space. Iconoclast is expanding into this substation part with rooftop garden for fresh stuff, and serving juices and such below.

Interested to see how this back area performs next summer. Some real potential, but also a bit hidden. Hopefully can see success like whyte back alley area.
