Yeah, the strip mall ad a whole is sketchy, mainly due to the Circle K.

I'm assuming Singapore Sam's is just a way to reference the location. "The sketchy Macs" doesn't exactly narrow down a location.

I lived in Castello for about 10 years through the mid 2010s, that area got pretty rough especially after covid. That will be a welcome change to everyone around there after this happens. I know we're just playing whack a mole with social disorder but that location became a nexus of open air drug use and crime in the alley/parkades.

I doubt the hotel had much influence on this (if this is the site), but the whack-a-mole is set to continue.

With the amount of overdoses i've seen in front and behind that cicle k, this Farimont will be haunted before it even breaks ground.

I heard a rumor from a reliable source that we should manage our expectations, at least as far as height is concerned. Hearing a dozen or so floors. Hopefully the design will make up for lack of height if that turns out to be true.

I don’t have a problem with that

I don’t care too much either how tall it is. I would be fine with something around 20 floors but with a really solid design.

 

[Roaring Flames]

So something similar to the autograph hotel in Stampede park then? Are we looking at something more like a 4 star hotel?

 

[MichaelS]

Sad trombone....

 

[Albertasaurus]

So...no Fairmont today?

 

[MichaelS]

Doesn't seem like it unfortunately.

The inclusion of Broward threw me but I dismissed it. Now I understand why it was included.
