Really setting the bar high there lol

Not a style we needed more of. Blah.

The modern farmhouse styling is one of the better mass infill designs (better than MAXIMUM DENSITY BOX style we see on the real infill garbage) but yea this one looks incredibly imposing and the proportions seem awkward, like they took a two storey design and shoe horned in the first level.

Overall though, it could probably end up decent if built in a reasonable spot with the right landscaping.

I don't hate the idea, I just feel like it needs either more separated entrances OR a more unified, bigger entrance.

Top half = not horrible.
Bottom half (floor and a half) brutal.

Was just going to say I drove by a few days ago and I saw a couple guys working on something in the lot just south of the strip mall.

It would be great to have it all developed even if just for more of the same strip mall. Pretty sure that corner lot has been empty since before the Save-On plaza across the street was built so it's been a blight for at least 25 years now

I saw concrete trucks on site on my way home this evening, so they're starting!

Though I heard that the drive-thru is to be a dairy queen. I cannot confirm nor deny although I trust the source.

Not on any radar since its industrial , But the old Waste management Transfer site just north of Mount Trash on 170st and 128ave is getting a major expansion. 4 trucks with precast wall panels are lined up. This site was getting demoed over the last year since WM moved out. It was also the site of Conforce Concrete rail tie facility.

You would think they'd be able to figure out how to do wrap-arounds shown in the render given it's being built by Pagnotta and their specialty in concrete. More crap from Gardener - unsurprising.
