Thanks for the renderings, not bad at all! But not tall enough to have 850 units! Unless they are really small units

It looks like 14 units per floor ( going off off 7 balconies visible on 2 sides of the building). I counted 30 floors of balconies, and with two identical buildings that would yield 840 units.

Looks good man I hope this gets underway soon it would be huge for that eye sore of a site.

I like that! Change the grey cladding to white and I think we have a winner!

Agreed, white would be nice to offset all the grey/dark towers going up currently. Glad this is filling in, this is an important site to fill within the urban fabric. Hopefully the DP goes to council soon.

Nice surprise. Huge improvment.

After a feverish round of budget estimating, Centron have put this on hold temporarily.

If you look closely at the third render there, it seems that the project has been renamed "Residences on Tenth"

ugh, any idea what temporary means?

I am guessing after winter.

I prefer this of all the designs so far. The first one was okay, but downtown already has enough office buildings. The second one was probably a concept rendering only, but looked like crap. This one is solid. The podium is kinda busy, but passes.

Good catch. Not a bad name, though Place 10 is also a decent name.

Hmm Certainly goes straight to the point. Sort of like how "Taipei 101" is in Taipei and has 101 floors.

 

[Mountain Man]

New renders look good, would like to see more detail around the lobby area in the middle. Towers are boring but the podium looks decent, glad they are filling another hole with this one as well!

A minor Beltline ARP amendment is going to CPC on Thursday related to this project. Pretty minor, but gives some indication about the building design. It is a request to allow the floor plate of the towers to increase from the currently allows 930 square meters to 1,000 square meters. This may explain how they are getting so many units into towers of this height. Report is here:
