Will all 3 levels be retail?

I believe retail will mainly be on the grade level. There's also office and residential spaces planned in these buildings.

Honestly, not sure how I feel about this one. Almost feels Disney-Worldish.

I think it's still a net positive from what it used to be. But some of the grade level detailing is overkill, especially the first floor cornice and windows of the north end units.

I give the upper two storeys a 9/10. The ground floor... I'm not sure yet. I like that the fine grain has been preserved, but I'm not sure about the materials and detailing. It does look a little... plasticky?
Also a shame that those units couldn't have been made accessible. It's a big step up from the sidewalk. I guess that would have required rebuilding the entire interior, but still, you hate to see a step like that.
Curious to see what it looks like once some tenants move in.

I'd be surprised if ramps are not added eventually.

You're right, I hadn't realized how much space there was between the facade and the sidewalk. In that case, I retract my second point!

I was thinking the same thing, but after a few decades of use and grime it should fit in with the rest I think.

I love this, I wish more condos and main street developments has this much care for the ground floor. It might look a little Disney-esque right now, but once it's lived in it will take on a nice patina. Great job here, let's do more of it!

This thread does not seem to have a corresponding geotag on the map. Is there a way for a forum member to add it? Or does an admin needs to add it?
