Thread for the Capella project that was mentioned a while back. 142 units, 8 buildings. 92 of the units in a main 5 storey apartment style building and the rest of the units in 7 low rise buildings.

I like the white brick and wood soffits, the rest is pretty typical looking.

Understated and sophisticated material choices. Looks good! Also curious where this site is. I wish this is what Seton was turning out like, instead of the dogshit that is being built there.

University District where their other one, Ivy, is located.

I'm torn. The materials and design are good but I get a projects kind of vibe from it.

Thanks for the map Surreal, don't think I've seen that before.
It's kind of handy to see where everything is going. IIRC someone posted a map somewhere that had Maple, Rhapsody, August and ALT also.

Looks good for the most part. The light coloured brick is great, I wish builders used white brick more often.

Looks good - reminds me on the townhouse developments in Currie

I don't recall it being mentioned, but this one is under construction right now.

Wow, that's awesome. I was thinking about taking a walk to Uni district sometime this week. Looks like Sunday will be a nice day for it, so thanks! I'll try n get a shot of it!
August and Capella both going, plus Rhapsody going, the area is going to fill out quickly. Maybe we'll get lucky and see ALT go up too.

Really not a big fan of developments of this scale repeating themselves. Agreed. Wish they broke up the devolpment cells into smaller individual parcels for greater variety. Very low income projects despite good design—almost unavoidable.
