100 of more of these in the area should just about do it.....

That's at least two projects now in the Quarters so that's a relatively small but good start.

What was the 1st one?

I like it.

Don't love it, but love that it's going where it is. Good to see some things happening in this area.

A potential big project coming to the edge of the Quarters. Public hearing on June 30th:

Planner Description: The City has received a rezoning application from DIALOG. The current zone is the Mixed Use Zone (MU h85.0 f8.0) and the proposed zone is the Large Scale Residential Zone (RL h65.0) which would allow for high rise multi-unit residential development with a maximum height of 65.0 metres (approximately 20 storeys) and limited commercial opportunities in the lower storeys. In The Quarters Downtown Area Redevelopment Plan, the site is located within the Five Corners Quarter and in the Central District Plan, the site is located within the Centre City node.

^ That one has been on the radar for quite some time now. There is a rendering of it somewhere on one of these threads.

I think it's this one. They seem to be revising the height if the max is 20 stories for the rezoning.

^ They can always "bend" the rules on height limitations if they take it to Council (and that may well be Dialog's "hidden" plan)... in this current world of 6-storey "sticks" I don't imagine that they would get much resistance to increase in FAR and height exaggeration. They certainly would have the support of Cidex Group who owns the land across from their nearby tower; this would also be the eastern equivalent of the Pearl in terms of City prominence.

Grey Nuns hospital development is hitting the street next week. This may be a patient tower. The next one should be the Miz
