It's not perfect but 90 units should basically double the unit count in Blatchford. I don't love the interior driveways but it looks nice enough from the outside. It's good to get some cheaper options in the neighborhood.
so... are you saying that this is more, does more and achieves something unique for the area, city and its peoples:No thanks.

well then i don't know what else to say...I like this form of row-housing, but just wish it had rooftop patios for private amenity.
So yes Ken, I do.
This type of strata townhouse development is very common in Surrey. They're very good for allowing density while providing ground oriented units, but that's about all they're good at in my opinion. I have to say that they absolutely kill any vibrancy and walkability in my opinion. 2 blocks of identical townhouses really makes the blocks feel a lot longer, and it removes any visual interest from the street. From an urban design perspective the only positive this has over SFH subdivisions with identical homes is that it's a bit denser. At least there's plans for mixed use development on the block over, otherwise there would be very little chance of people walking anywhere. They really do kill the desire to walk that much, 200-400m suddenly feels too far away when what you're walking past looks exactly the same.
