With all the six storey apartments going up along 108st over the next few years plus the Norquest building and exisitng campus of a similar height, plus upcoming 106 street apartments being downsized to 6 or 7 storeys, the Parks is definitely going to be an outlier.

Actually, if true to plans, NorQuest next building will be 11 to 12 floors and the Maclab property on 102nd Ave will likely be a high-rise too (we should know when the student housing bonuses are announced). Autograph's building on 106 is also destined to be more than 6 storeys as well as the planned development for north of MF building. I think that the only confirmed 6-storeys belong to Westrich's efforts.

I read on here that Autogragh's will now be 6-7. And BLVD will be 6 right beside the Parks.

Yup, from article:

"Autograph president Henry Edgar told Taproot the company now plans to construct buildings between six- and seven-storeys with up to 250 units."

I hope the buildings look good.

Losing the Shift towers is such a disappointment still… would have been an awesome extension of the CBD skyline a bit more westward. The 104st wall is so flat still.

I think that quote was in reference to their buildings on 102nd Avenue and 123rd Street, not a new "mantra".

I wonder if that is "250 units" per each building? Or all in? Didn't they rezone the lot for some outrageous number of occupants in the 1000's?

"Autograph Group, the developer of The Shift at 10157 106 Street just east of the park, had initially proposed to build two towers, at 38 and 35 storeys, with 780 units. But in September, Autograph successfully applied to rezone the lot to allow for much shorter buildings. Autograph president Henry Edgar told Taproot the company now plans to construct buildings between six- and seven-storeys with up to 250 units."

Sitting here across the street from the park it's interesting seeing where Lotus is going and where Lilac will be going. Also very fascinating looking at all the lots here on 106st, 107st and even 108st and just imagining how different this area would be with a bunch of residential and/or mixed use residential with CRU at street level.

The underlying zone, Urban Warehouse, went from 500 units/ha to 2200.

ie. a 37,500 sqft site (very common size - 5 of 50 x 150 lots)

Previous (500) = ~174 units
Update (2200) = ~765

Your bigger issue is going to be your parking ratio, utility capacities and market absorption, among others.
