Anyone actually know who the GC is for this? (Meaning the Safeway reno) Nevermind, got it. Went to the site.

I believe Nautical Lands Group is the Seniors Development group for this project.

So, ARK inc. is a Toronto firm if I'm not mistaken? Very Interesting. Wonder about a correlation... arggh.

You nailed it. Side story: We designed a dental office building, which was to be located on 14t street NW in Hillhurst. The accessibility to the front entry was significantly degraded, an certainly not code worthy. The elevation differential if I recall was about 3' from entry to sidewalk. Our...

From Weburbanist.com, it appears there are some bold artists/climbers out there

Nice drone shot over the Elbow/Bow confluence?!
