Shepherd's Care actually. The building that was demo'd was a nun's convent before becoming a supporting living facility. Very unique design and had an interior courtyard which worked well for residents living with dementia. A little bummed that it's gone but life goes on.

There is no way the City will allow angled parking next to an LRT hub!!!

Would I love to see something like this, definitely yes. Will something like this happen, maybe.
I just wish that a development like this, would build as close to the LRT station first. At least for me it makes more sense to build closer to the public transit rather than further away in order to attract more people quickly due to the proximity of residential to the trains.
Maybe someone can tell me the reasoning why Century Park has been built as far away from the LRT station as possible first.

Like Westbrook Village at UBC.

Holy crap, I didn't know that Eagle Builders purchased the entirety of the undeveloped area of Century Park. Makes sense why they've already been building on the east side - not sure if they've done towers before, but there's a first time for everything.

Doesn’t include the Times Square lot.

Crane up and the foundation being dug out for what I believe is a seniors residence (IIRC) on the old NE Christian School site in Beverly Heights

Long term Care similar to the one in the Southwest (Holesome Place in McTaggart) that was finished a couple of years back. Bird was on that one as well.

I'd cry happy tears if this were to ever go ahead (and work out).

Looks like that Gooch special on 116th St. $165M for this?

Might look like Ed Gooch, but its by Start Architecture and they do a lot of institutional design. The guts of the building are definitely closer to what you would see in long term care facilities. There are actually four towers, similar to the ones you see in the picture you posted. Still, definitely odd exterior design. It should be a fairly big development, though.

Wow that would be huge for that corner, especially if they could get a good cafe to go in there.

 

[archited]

Yikes! Mansard-over-the-top. Please insist on higher design standards dear Edmonton.

Yes, this building could be quite attractive if the exterior was fixed up.
