Disappointed that the ground floor went from commercial to live/work.

I know 33rd is a main street, but I don't think every building on the street needs commercial or live/work. I would have been ok with the main floor being residential just like Coco next door. I think the space would have sat empty for a long time as commercial, although I'm not confident that live/work will be any more successful.

I think it makes total sense to put commercial units here. With the community centre, library, CSpace, and an influx of mid-rise residential buildings, this side of Marda Loop is becoming a hub. And yet, the walkscores in this area are around 50 (compared to 70-80 on the westside of the neighbourhood). If all the new buildings are going to be exclusively residential, this area will be locked into car dependency for generations to come.

Land use for the middle portion goes to CPC next week.

Some shadowing of Coco, but very little really.

Always nice to see a DP submitted, and Sarina has been solid when it comes to seeing proposal come to fruition.

There’s another engagement session for the project on June 24th.

New rendering on the engagement board at the site.
Features of it remind me a bit of the Certus’ red brick Spider Block building (the red brick, the black windows).
Would love to see the red brick feature more prominently but it’s a good start!

Preferred the previous design TBH.

This is true, 33rd will likely end up lined with 4-6 storeys on both sides for most of it's length.

Those red sections look like they might be EIFS...
