Random question. There’s a walk up apartment building on the corner of 109 street and 81 ave. It went through a reno a few years ago, new windows, refreshed outside, looked like a lot of work. Then suddenly something happened and it got all boarded up, now there’s broken windows, and nothing going on. Anyone know the story here?

Isn't that the one that had a fire?

BP:

Commercial Final
To construct single exit apartment building (10 dwellings) with a roof top terrace area - K10-A-BLOQ
11520 - 81 STREET NW

I've never seen "single exit" on a BP before. I'm guessing there are two exits but one stairwell?

Did that Building Code amendment go through? I remember BILD pushing for single-egress policy, but I haven't heard of any change.

I like the look of the K-9 Bloq is so there's some hope here.

That is a significant build for the area!

Yes freakin' please!

That site is crying for something to be done. Get rid of some of that parking lost too, hopefully.

Wow this would be huge! Does anyone know how much of that parking would be taken by this building? The whole lot is empty right from 108A Ave to 109A Ave now and it's such an eyesore.

I don't think it includes the parking lot.

Regardless, that's big for the area. There's another industrial type development further north on 98 St just south of 110A Ave and infill somewhat starting to pop off nearby. Encouraging!

First big multifamily development that's Chinatown adjacent too. Here's hoping either the momentum starts pushing southwards or we get someone to take a chance at the Quarters for a similar project.
