Am I the only one who is 100% okay with that first photo? The original colouring is hideous.

What's wrong with the original coloring? I can't say I'm thrilled about the replacement with gray. It makes me wonder if I live in the world of The Giver.

Mixed use for Windermere……

Anyone know why the windows were replaced?

I think I liked the old look better, the white windows are busy and distracting from the brickwork and the building overall. Maybe it will grow on me.

Yes, the green colour which was fashionable at the time, but not now, seemed to blend in much better with the brick colour.

I think we can get used to white, but it stands out more and is the colour of a lot of modern windows so it doesn't seem as historic.

They could've at least gone with black....

Isn't that the Old Edmontonian Site

 

[ntt1]

Is that the site just south of where the Milla Pub used to be?

 

[husky]

Feel like there's tons of potential with that site but being immediately adjacent the Herb Jamieson Centre will make any development pretty risky.

This triplex is only accessible from the lane. It is situated behind Mc Bell station

Drove by today, there already is retail here - Mother Earth Essentials which is open. It will move into the east building based on the permit.

No, they are not moving. The permit was just incorrect. I confirmed it.

 

[Airboy]

^ that's a mechanical room. no room for retail there.

That space once housed a restaurant. The mechanical is above and below. T h are is a mechanical chase in there for the ventilation on the lower floors. But lots of room for retail.

 

[buildings]

^ok. I stand corrected.
