It's like putting a diamond-studded collar on pig.

The metal shelter bit on the south side has been taken down.

I think we can safely say the missing middle is actively being addressed with the abundance of 6 storeys being built.

I'd argue that this is not the 'missing middle' and that we need far more townhouses and quadplexes happening.

You're right, apparently it doesn't include 6 storeys. I thought it would.

Not quite. From my understanding missing middle generally encompasses semi-detached houses to small apartment buildings (8-10 units), along with secondary suites and backyard houses. The lines get blurry for sure, but 4+ storey buildings are almost always higher-density developments. Edmonton is addressing the missing middle now for sure but we still need more, preferably with better quality design and construction lol

Whether we call it the missing middle or not, this it is more density and the scale fits nicely here and elsewhere. IMO 6 seems to be the new 4.

I've approached and passed this building after dark from every direction in the past few weeks, and I find the lights overpowering and garish. I don't think it works at all for this quiet stretch of 100 Ave.
