It's not pretty but its density next to transit, which is nice. Hopefully Regency will add some commercial closer to Holyrood Stop in their next phases here.

I dont believe any commercial is planned. i would venture to say that none should be built either. Id much rather The ground floor of these buildings be made up of front doors on (figurative) streets.
the reason, Bonnie Doon and 95th

How is anyone not surprised? Regency also has Tower 101 and the Emerald site in similar states.
The city's new unkept properties tax cannot come soon enough.

I dont think it applies to big commercial sites, yet.

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".

Idk but the site is up to be rezoned.
