Definitely better than the current state of the site. Hopefully it does not remain a parking lot for long, I'm sure the COE will put a sunset clause in the DP approval or something.

PRAISE BE

You can tell how low our bar is for architectural design and general massing for high-rise buildings in the core... Just compare this building to Regency's 'East Village' tower near Bonnie Doon Mall.

They also got the 2021 Construction Grant for this site and they risk an agreement breach if they don't finish the second tower, just unsure of how long they have to get that done though.

Not that I am aware of, I think only properties Downtown, the Quarters and Wîhkwêntôwin qualified.

Built by Eagle, right? If so, that must be their first high-rise project, ever.

Perfect form, scale and massing for our city. I want 100 more of these all over the place, please and thanks.

Here is what I (think) I know: Project 3 is Maclab's first phase of their MWTC residential development Project 5 is Maclab's Parks Tower 2 Projects 7 and 8 are Cantiro's next phases at West Block Project 9 is Beljan's Williams Hall in the old YMCA Downtown Project 10 is Westrich's tower...

Yup, mine actually decreased 2% after jumping 31% last year, after we bought the place. Benefits of living in a 'shady' neighbourhood I guess (it's not actually shady, just the perception that keeps values lower, to the benefit of residents that are not looking to sell in the near future).

I honestly try and fly Porter as much as possible - the experience is above and beyond what is offered by WS or even AC. If Flair flies to the same location and is at least 25% cheaper than Porter, I'll go with them.

You already cannot park on most of that stretch of 101 Street so I think the bus lanes won't have a massive impact - the benefits to OTP for bus routes such as the 9 will be much greater and worth the investment.

What a name for a restaurant lol

It's also a fantastic spot to host your wedding reception 😉

Not really (at least in my experience). My wife works for EPL and I have brought my kid to the Children's Library at Milner more times than I can count and every time it's been totally fine. Sure, you have homeless people on computers on floors 2 and 3 and maybe hanging out in some chairs and...
