Love 98% of it, but man o man those 'spandrel' sections are just terrible.

It's crazy to think about how far this area has come in such a short time. Less than a decade ago, Ice District was a parking lot and 104th street was one of sketchiest parts of the city.

I love this building. 5 units per floor, all corners, all glass. But it's a huge building to manage and multiple floods already sucking up all their cash.

DO. YOU. LIKE. ANYTHING.

I think it's a consensus on this forum that the answer for that is no. Unless it's Vancouver.

One of my favorite lines of theirs at the end of one of the episodes:

"Tonight's show wasn't half bad."

"It wasn't half good either." Hahaha

Anyone with my memories of this area , north to south of Jasper -104 st., since 1988 would have a good laugh with that one. I remembered a field after the tracks were torn out where we saw migrants took over the area as their needle ground, a real life art displayed- not in way we wanted it. That direct area, is where Roger's is sitting on top off and the rink is literally the needle epicentre Let's not talk about about the Greyhound station or the Cecil on 104sr-Jasper ave. GOOD TIMES NOW!

What sort of floods?

 

[Greenspace]

Multiple unit floods, basement floods. All the floods you can think of.

 

[IanO]

Are they baseboard radiant or forced air/HP?

PEX or copper?
