I would be ok with these if the zone had additional regulations governing its massing. Both along the front and sides. Most just seem too bulky and aren't that compatible with adjacent low density building forms.

For me it's literally just the tiny windows/lack of windows on faces. They're thicc buildings for sure, but if the ratio of window to blank wall was better then it would be okay imo.

Came across this infill under construction in Queen Mary Park (8 units). Then on the same block two doors down is a 12 unit property (2x6unit buildings from a different builder. Can't believe the infills going on.
I like the Queen Mary project. But not so much this from the same builder in Bonnie Doon.
And they also have this structure in Bellvue.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Orange trees along the street as shown in the first image! What a novel concept!

Those all look pretty bad.
Simple can be better... Something like the rowhouses below are an example. Swap the siding out for brick or cedar depending on your setting.

32 cars for 32 people?
F them kids I guess
Best part of these signs is half of them are along roads next to the river valley and houses that are 2x the average lot size. These houses could probably all have 12 cars on the streets in front of their homes, not to mention 6-12 in many of their driveways haha.
There will NEVER be a shortage of parking around here, especially when 50% of the homes are already massive infill SFHs. Every remaining “tear down” could become a maximized unit build based on the zoning and there would still be street parking.

Public engagement on a rezoning application in West Jasper Place: https://engaged.edmonton.ca/WestJasperPlace155St
(Span Architecture is unfortunately the firm responsible for the dreadful Stadium Plaza.)

No brainer location across from a medical centre + parking lot and 1 block from the LRT.

I hadn't noticed the builder - but this is a great rezoning imo. Especially for the proposed mixed-use.
