Miscellaneous

A perfect example of a quality project aimed directly at the "missing middle". I like the make-up of the development team -- architect, landscape architect, marketing specialist, attorney, and director -- I hope these guys are uber-successful. Reading their website material, it looks as if this project is intended to be typical of their market niche -- quality low rise cluster housing in a mixed use setting. They also have a brand aimed at student housing and another purposed to suit low density retirement pods. I really like their focus. Very successful modulation towards single-family housing along the avenue.
 
Found this browsing the Arch|TB site; CN Lands Study from 2014 (for what looks like the Allard-owned land south of EPCOR Tower):

Curious if this was commissioned by Allard, or just an exercise Arch|TB took upon themselves.

Probably won't be a huge development, but being a Dub design should be interesting I hope?

This one is already well under way. Excavation is complete and foundation and footings are underway. I'm delighted to hear it will have some retail space. Hopefully the design is nicer than some other buildings recently built in that area.
 
Thanks @archited; I'm a bit behind on the construction goings-ons at the Ewe-of-Eh, I'll have to go check those out and maybe make some new threads.

Apparently there's a lot of new lowrise stuff going up in Parkdale around 112 Ave & 82 St. I've gotta go check that out too.

Century Park is getting a new look
Rezoning open house and Park & Ride relocation planned

November 24, 2016

Residents are invited to an open house about the proposed rezoning of the Century Park site (former Heritage Mall area), next to the Century Park LRT station. An application has also been made to amend the Kaskitayo Outline Plan to allow the rezoning.

Date: Wednesday, November 30, 2016
Time: 6 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. (drop-in anytime)
Location: Rideau Park School (Gymnasium),
10605 - 42 Avenue

The rezoning would update existing plans to allow more development flexibility, increase the residential density, and add a commercial main street. The open house is an opportunity to learn more about the proposal and provide feedback to the City and the applicant at this early stage in the review.

Park & Ride
The current free parking section is moving to a new, paved location at Century Park due to private landowner development on the existing free parking site. The new site holds the same number of free stalls as the existing free parking section. Features include: paved parking lot; paved walkway to bus transit centre and LRT station; installed light fixtures; CCTV security cameras; blue emergency help phone.

Transit Park & Ride customers are reminded the number of free stalls in the new section remains the same but free parking remains limited. Customers are encouraged to join the waitlist for a paid stall, carpool, arrive early, take a bus to the LRT station, or use free parking with express bus service from Lewis Farms bus transit centre (87 Ave. west of Anthony Henday Dr.) or the Davies Lot (86 St. & 61 Ave.).
