Introducing Altairus

New renderings showing facade improvements and the LRT plaza with coffee shop and dayhome.

A brief update on this project. The City technical circulation is close to finishing as all engineering reports have been reviewed and revised for final sign off. The design was refined: - the plaza was widened on the west side - a coffee shop with a patio and dayhome were added to the ground...

We produced a few short videos to show the proposed public realm around the buildings. Here is a quick spin around it. Looking north along 78 Avenue

Building height will be 23 m.

There will be 71 units per building - total of 142 units.
