more like 60 years.

Maclab, with the Eleanor and her adjacent friend (U. of A.) as an example, knows how to ring quality architecture out of a student housing venture. It would be tremendously great news if Maclab ended up owning the entire block Parks I and II and everything north to 102nd Ave. Perhaps they...

I believe @David A that the CNIB and their architects actually planned for a classy restaurant in this space (putting in place Electrical, Mechanical, and Plumbing rough-ins to suit); similarly Qualico has done the same for their project on 101st street. When planned for specifically it can...

Alas, the good architecture that you reference pictorially @TAS is not what I am objecting to -- the non-thought-out crap that seems to appear with almost every new announcement of a 6-storey project. There are a few -- very few -- that get it right (e.g. Stadium Yards) but those are the...

Good to see the return of the Kyle! Good luck on your new career path choice.

I am not in favor of high-rises for the sake of height or skyline development. I just see high-rises as being more diverse architecturally than the next iteration of walk-up apartments (walkups with elevators -- oxymoron aside). I am beginning to see a lot of 6-storey developments with very...

Too embarrassing

I've seen this design or something close to it many times before -- mailed in effort, sadly.

Bravo @Glenco for catching the real essence of this development! I am a BIG fan!

That's what I thought -- @Avenuer threw a curve ball. I really like this proposal and I hope it stays intact as conceived and that it in fact gets built. It strengthens the 121st street corridor and cleans up a site that has some historical relevance and builds on a high-rise relevance as...

@trevorhayden I love the idea... further it could be an adopt an alley program whereby companies could become responsible for general upkeep of the same -- assisting adjacent landowners with landscape and hardscape features.

Latest technology for roadbeds

Room for an ornamental landscape park?

Well my math tells me it could be 20 towers @ 500 tenants a pop (200 units per) of about 25 to 60 storeys each. Let me see there are 4 more towers in that range for Stationlands, 3 towers on the corner of 104th Street and 103 Ave (Westrich) with room for another tower on the 4th corner, twin...

Tell your boys to get after it.

Above par architecture unlike some others that are mailing it in.

Its hard to draw design conclusions from a massing diagram -- the end result may be quite different than what you imagine it to be.
