I feel like this project just started holy..

I don't mind the overall height, but the first two retail floors are a tad large IMO. It is really dwarfing everything around it.

Also, would love to see something like a standalone flagship adidas or nike store here. And would be great if such a store can take two levels like in a lot of urban centres, but I don't think the floors a built to have one tenant on more than one floor.

It is quite odd that the first story of commercial is almost as tall as the Buckingham

Looks like we're ready for the icing on the cake. I love retail space with great vertical scale. This building is going to set new standards for Old Strathcona.

Great pictures Dave! Has anyone been in the Buckingham recently? Wondering if they've done anything with those windows that are now right up against a wall.

Oh man. Five Guys is so good! I wonder if they’ll open a location in the ICE District...
