The first major step in a rejuvenation of a desolate area.

Will the space in-between the two towers be an entrance to the warehouse park?

 

[archited]

Yes

 

[Romanov]

The podium interface with the park looks promising. Fingers crossed.

This building will do lots for the area but I will start feeling encouraged when I see all the parking lots disappear and the park starts getting built too.

You won't have to wait much longer

You won't have to wait much longer

How much longer before we see gravel moved off site? I wonder f they need to replace all the top soil from decades of dripping oil, gas from all the vehicles.

I'd imagine a lot of surface soils will have to be removed so that the site can be graded to whatever the design is and prepped where infrastructure is placed.

It will employ two of my favorites "Cut" and "Fill".

Phase 2 cannot come soon enough...

 

[Avenuer]

This shorter tower is already making a huge impact and can be seen from many different angles. The taller second tower will do wonders.

Beyond the other proposed developments around the warehouse park, I'd love for a completed Phase 2 to eventually spur some momentum like what happened in Oliver to get two major Jasper ave parking holes filled:

-Lot #32 10605 Jasper Ave adjacent to First Candian Place
-10745 Jasper Ave between Peace Hills & bank/el furniture

I know the status/ownership of these lots has been discussed prior, probably the current hold up. I'm talking 5-10 yrs

edit: grammar

This is a great project, and will definitely be a catalyst for more downtown...but there is still an issue with creating the demand for housing downtown to match the supply you want to see come on.

Hopefully that 5-10 years window you mentioned is a realistic time, but step one is definitely seeing this & The Shift get built and rented up.

That atrocious frontage along Jasper Ave makes the baby Jesus cry.
