Any renders floating around?

Going back many years, our family used that surface lot at the south end of the property, because it helped service the building at the south end of the block, which back then had a sizeable medical focus.

I wonder what losing the service provided by that surface lot will mean for building at the south end of the block. Maybe it has its own u/g parking?

There's UG parking in the Intact Building (building along Jasper Ave) and the red brick apartment building.

This section of 108 St is going to be unrecognizable in the span of a year lol, which is amazing.

And it's Westrich so it WILL get built

Nice to see almost an entire block of 108th street Redeveloped

Another surface parking lot bites the dust!

Renders look nice, however couldn't the rooftop space be larger? Mercury Block has almost half the roof accessible.

Or solar panels? One or the other

I don't hate it. But in this rendering it doesn't look like there is any retail (maybe IanO can correct me if I'm wrong), which would be a damn shame. I get it if it's not all CRUs on 108 due to lack of demand, but there should be some.

Corner CRU on Lotus, but after speaking with neighbouring retail owners, seeing the plight of others in the area to not add more and the opportunity for ground floor units that some prefer, it simply made sense. Live/work can be explored if folks wish, but the idea is to support MacLab's retail bays and push people to Jasper to backstop ALL of that struggling retail. Given the nice BLVD, it makes a lot of sense to have a more residential area versus commercial. There will be options and opportunities in the area, but our focus is residential for most of it.

Agreed. This is a good street for townhomes or street level units. And tons of potential future commercial on Jasper if 108-106st fills in.

It looks decent and I don't think the lack of CRUs should be considered that much of an issue. I don't love these parts of the façade, but that might just be me...

If the Parks is going to have a lot of CRU spaces then I don't think it's that big of an issue that this and Lotus only have a corner CRU between them. We have more than enough retail/commercial spaces right now and we just need hundreds more people yesterday to drive local foot traffic, and the perception of higher foot traffic for non downtown residents to come say hi.

Glad to see recessed balconies.
