It kind of reminds me of The Fifth.

Yeah definitely. Here's hoping for higher quality materials than the 5th used.

Miles better than the last two designs.

Looks pretty good!

Yep, almost exactly like The Fifth. Looks good….too good for Macleod Trail. Lol.

I'm in a glass stairwell of emotion!

I hurt when I look at Macleod in this rendering, nothing but lanes of cars. What a view! In all seriousness, I lived in Parkhill behind the Subaru and the area is great!

From the website it looks like all the commercial is for lease- meaning I think CO-OP gave up on their own liquor store (or cannabis store which the City once rejected, but I think the existing store that caused that rejection has shut down). I guess the barley belt is too much competition? I didn't think it would be with Macleod there.

Perhaps a dumb question - but why do people like the redesign so much better? what specifically about it is nicer?
ty!

The original looks like a highway hotel. Bland colours. Cheap materials. Small windows. Useless Juliette balconies. Too much blank wall at the retail level.

The new one is a much better design IMO, due to the materials, and the general massing but to be honest, even the old design as bad as it was, was still a win for this particular parcel.
