I gotta say, there are some great photo updates in this thread
Arris does have some very nice common area facilities for residents, located on the 3rd floor, including common lounge rooms, outdoor green space, study rooms, a full gym and an indoor pool. (Most of that was completed and opened back in 2021).I mean I see this and think, okay now do one with a theatre and Rec Room in the podium and put it in the C+E or west end of 17th.
This is afaik the first Superstore in this format, so I'm hopeful that they can/will change a few things around later. The Urban Fare at mount royal west is better in this regardSomething that struck me about the Super Store when I went in there is that it wasn’t very well set up for condo dwellers. There wasn’t really a decent hot food table that I could remember, I don’t remember a proper deli, and the bakery only had pre-packaged baked goods. Single people or couples need better options than buying such bulk quantities.
I'm not sure why the change, but originally it was supposed to be one of their 'City Market' stores.There's a bunch of urban format Loblaws that fit the bill pretty well, I'm surprised they didn't go with that angle instead.
The Loblaw brand isn't very strong in the west - I assume the change occurred around the same time they closed the Loblaw City Market in Sage Hill.I'm not sure why the change, but originally it was supposed to be one of their 'City Market' stores.
Whatever project it is, I hope you’re involved. I’ve been enjoying your updates!Currie is starting the planning stages. Still a ways out.
