This site is an absolute blight on downtown. The screening on the fence is becoming non-existent again. Such a prime piece of property and nothing is being done with it. Such a shame.

Thanks again Raj!

Every time this thread pops up I still feel a faint glimmer of hope that something has changed here...

Just sell this already Regency, along with the Emerald site too. This has to be embarrassing to have in your portfolio, no?

A tower on 1477 West Broadway looks the part for this site.

It’s clear to me that they feel nothing about having it in their portfolio. What an umitigated disaster this site is, it gets worse and worse all the time. The fencing is now being patched with more fencing, in the spring you will see so much garbage and weeds growing,

This should never have been permitted for partial demo without a path for reconstruction. Full demo and turned into grass and trees would be way, way better than what we were left with.

The market obviously changed dramatically, but there is no excuse for how the site looks/feels.

Make the podium a replica of Tegler Building and it would be perfect.

I used to think that, but honestly, faux for faux sake is not the right way to go in my opinion. I'd rather see a modern interpretation to be honest.

The market didn’t screw this up, Council did by allowing something they shouldn’t have.

 

[IanO]

From my understanding, Admin/Council permitted the demo to time with the LRT construction to be LESS disruptive overall, as Regency had plans to move on this site, but then things drastically changed.

 

[Greenspace]

Yup, hindsight 20/20 but demo should never have been permitted.

That would be great. However, I'd bet once Regency moves on this in 10 years time, we'll get something closer to this:

Yes, at some point as a city we need to come to terms with some of our bigger mistakes and fix them. Its what grown ups do.

It might be a six-storey condo buiilt out of wood.

We badly need an enforceable vacant lot beautification standard.
