We last reported on Regency Developments' 121 West project in October last year, having believed the building had topped off then. In visiting the site at 121 Street and 105 Avenue since, it turns out that was only half the story.

Since topping off the 9-storey south half of the building, which is now under wraps for exterior cladding application, the north half of the building has risen steadily and will soon top off itself at the building's full 10 storeys. The two halves of the building surround an interior courtyard for the enjoyment of the complex's future residents.

Designed by DER + Associates, 121 West brings 396 residential units to the burgeoning area around the Brewery District, located just across the street, putting a grocery store and other amenities well within walking distance for future residents. A stop on the future Valley Line West LRT extension will also be located just two blocks from this development.
