You can already see how that corner is going open with the podium overhang.

Looks like the hat at eau claire is finally filling up.

I walked by this the other day, and what they are building at street level feels big and inviting, but the render makes it look a bit closed off, grey and cheap. Hopefully a colourful and bright interior shines through the glass and they choose the right overhead lighting and landscaping. I'm excited to see this corner transform.

feels big and inviting

I agree, it could be imposing but in my experience, I find it grand.

I still can’t fully tell. But what is going between tbis and Caesar’s? Is it a small parking lot?

 

[MichaelS]

Yes. A small surface parking lot, that theoretically allows for the eventual redevelopment of Caesars.

Redeveloped into one of those small thin buildings that give me Tokyo vibes!

Exactly. Three to four hundred new residents, retail fronting the street, and if we’re lucky, a new sidewalk!

Seems very close to the current sidewalk edge. Would they bump it out and replace a lane?

I think most of the front will be set back, like where the concrete poles are will be open. So where that big concrete block is should be a fairly small section of an otherwise big sidewalk.
