Sure went up fast. Looking forward to seeing some of that brick soon, and then new area residents!

Wow that is looking just amazing already. It will be so nice to see it completed soon. When the next building goes up next to it that entire block is going to just look so great and so full which I think is awesome to see. The density of this area has and will continue to improve more and more.

I was in the Intact building yesterday. Didn't get a photo but the view from there looking North East is quite good, the new park and tower along with the Lotus are really starting to fill that part of downtown. And when the New Norquest Building (possibly Late Next year).gets started that will add to life in the area.

I walked past this on the weekend, are the 1st floor apartment units or CRUs?

There is a CRU on the corner, with the units along 102ave potential for work/live, but otherwise residential.

An office or two could be nice. I wonder what kind of interest there will be for the CRU

Interesting, don't know how I would feel living on the first floor unless there was a high fencing barrier, nor are the views on the 1st floor units appealing.

Ground floors have tradeoffs. But are a huge win to the feel of the street if we can get more of them. Townhome podiums in Whikwentowin add a lot of texture and in Vancouver they’re stunning. We need more in our DT, but also need them to be safe of course.
Often in Vancouver they have a metal gate that’s locked with beautiful hedges and greenery to fill in a patio that makes them feel less accessible from the sidewalk and more private/safe.

No update other than to say when I was driving down Jasper today, looking up 108th this is definitely impactful for a smaller building. Mix in with Lilac, and hopefully Parks Pt 2 & connector, gonna be a night & day difference for the feeling of that street. Good to see

Yes, two old single floor commercial industrial buildings and a parking lot being replaced replaced by two multi floor residential buildings. It will be good for this area to have more residents.
It will also feel much nicer with these new buildings, as well as the much larger new tower on the other side of the street.
