East Junction | 86m | 25s | Regency Developments | DER + Associates

Actually, there is one weird thing I realised about the tower: There's no proper vehicle pick-up / drop-off point. What appears to be the main entrance is just a pool of asphalt that leads nowhere -- the 'road' in front of it is actually the cycling trail behind Holyrood stop that used to be the side lane of 85 St.

I saw a driver go round and round trying to drop off a delivery, he finally figured there was an alley on the far side of the building (looking from the stop) that ends in a back-door parkade / loading bay area. I guess there's supposed to be access from the unbuilt parts of the lot where the pit is eventually...

Imagine having a north facing unit paying the rent their asking for and having to look at that mess everyday when you look out your window.

Imagine living in a city and seeing construction in various stages?

I suppose out of sight out of mind is better for some, probably why gated communities were created.

The world is messy, but I'm much more bothered by ignoring reality and not trying to fix it.

With all due respect it looks like the Remand Centre with funny colours.

To be fair, tumors grow on you too, but that doesn't make them a good thing.

Every time I look at this thread, and the images within, I remember that in my mind, I pronounce "DER + Associates" as "Durrr and Associates".

The whispers in the wind hum in Holyrood is that Regency is having some financial difficulties.

Idk but the site is up to be rezoned.

Well unless I'm mistaken all I remember is that they got one design approved and then when it came to construction they came back to the city requesting changes and got some on the current building. Then when it came to the unfinished section they tried the same trick again and the city refused. It seems they keep trying the old bait and switch to get more out of a site without paying what should be paid.
