Man, I'm seriously taken aback by how this development is turning out. You'd figure in a neighborhood where properties easily top a million bucks, developers wouldn't skimp on the finishes.
I get it, this site was just a dirt hole for a while, and yeah, they took it on during the crazy pandemic times, so maybe we cut them some slack. But honestly, I'm getting real tired of constantly giving developers a pass and ending up with these meh-looking buildings scattered all over the city. (I'm looking at you
East Junction)
I know not everyone's gonna vibe with my gripes, and that's cool. On the flip side, I do kinda dig the new vibe this place brings to the hood. More people living here, more options for both the locals and the students - that's a win. Also, those ground-level CRUs are a neat touch, they'll be adding some much-needed life to the street.
Looking ahead, I'm hoping the "Windsor Heights" (development next door) might help tie everything together. It could give the whole block a more put-together feel.
So yeah, bottom line, I'm let down by how this is shaping up (I think more cuz we have the original renders and those were

). I'm all for progress, but can we please get some quality that matches the neighborhood's style? Fingers crossed things improve as we go forward.
