Im not a fan of the way Tim Hortons has taken up the whole retail base, but outside of that I am fine with having at Tim's in East Village. I never go to Tim's myself but I always see they are very busy. What East Village could use is more people outside of the river path area.

I don't know the name of this project at 16th ave and about 8th street so I'll post my photos here in the construction thread.

I'm going with Nenshi. It's true he can be irritating and maybe he's partly to blame for the divisive Council but he's the best of the three. I'm not sure what Smith and Chabot ore actually bringing to the table.

No I don't mind one bit. The constant updates are one of the things I love about this site.

Geez, that's 12 floors taller than one of the Guardian towers! And three of them would almost make their own little skyline.

I voted for the yes, but less than 200 million option. It's a win-win for everyone.

Agreed, the plaza is better than I expected. I wish they would have that kind of lighting on Barclay parade (3rd street).

Looks great. Is it only white or are there other colors?

I wonder why they didn't at least go with 4Teen instead?

I planned to go on a big rip tearing rant about SSP, but it seemed kind of pointless so I deleted my three or four paragraphs of ranting. At the end of the day things are good at this site, I only hope it stays that way.

This is sexy!

I'm not in Sean's Chu's ward, but I would not be voting for him if I was.

I remember back when the crane count was 75! 29 is nothing to sneeze at though.

This building will be a nice addition to Inglewood. Glass elevators will add some pizazz

I wonder if the people who bought your company's building also bought the other buildings around it with the idea of a new development? Seems like an odd building to buy unless planning to bulldoze.

Conceptual look yes, but it would be cool if it even looked anything close to that.

I guess the city probably owns the hill below SAIT, but maybe a deal could be worked out with developers to build something mixed use on the hill with a large pathway down the middle?

Agree 100% with you and SP. Centre street is right up there in the underutilized category too. The section of Center Street up to around 32nd Ave. even has the potential to be a Marda loop type area.

Welcome! Yes, discussion is good here. It reminds me of the good old days at SSP.

Well said.
