It looks like industrial work camp housing. EDC better send this back.

DT YYC just installed an ATCO modular building……..

Why do we build like this, when we know that in 20 years it will have aged like milk and just turn into another ghetto building.

Correct, by Attainable Homes Calgary.

Ya it does look modular. Those windows are way too small. It looks exactly like what it's for, housing students. Really a shame, cause it could be more than this. Where is the amenity space?

There are two courtyards between each pair of buildings (there are four buildings total).

This hospital will be a phenomenal addition to the community and it will service the core for years to come.

Nothing about this is acceptable. Really unbelievable that this is even proposed, what will be worse is when some sort of bad 'improved' version of it starts construction. Do not look at the first page of this thread at what could have been. The prospects for this site really went from downtown Toronto to Nisku truckstop.
This design would be unacceptable in the suburbs, much less the downtown of a city the size of Edmonton. Shame

"To construct 4 Residential buildings (Multi-unit Housing for a total of 696 Dwellings) with a common underground parkade. "

Can someone tell me how large those 696 units are going to be?

^^ Even the low-rise portion of the previous proposal from years back is superior to the hapless effort from the Kelowna crew.

WOW this is unbelievably mediocre..

One thing to note though, the trees in the render are covering up the lower half which is the only part that isn't just a grey box, so it might look slightly better in reality.

Hopefully EDC gets them to add at least some warmer colours though.

Wow, that's a big downgrade. TBH, I wouldn't even mind the downgrade of the scale if the design and especially the materials were better. I mean, they could have taken away the towers and left the podium and it would have been way better.

Exactly. They could have simply gone with the podium of the previous design and it would have been good.
