Yep, similar to SoMa in SF, SODO in Denver or of course SoHo in NY. I'm sure there are dozens out there.

Back on SSP we once were trying to name the area in Renfrew at the top of Edmonton Trail. I recall 'Renabobri' (Renfrew above Bridgeland) or NoB (North of Bridgeland)

I'm the kind of knob that would consider buying a place in NoB

Seattle, an affiliate of Amazon, is gonna sue over this.

My guess is that SODO is the catchy term for 'south of downtown'. I have seen that acronym used that way in other North American cities.

Yeah man, that's the joke.

That’s the amenities level for the rental tower. It looks like there’ll be a pretty big gym on the south side of that floor. The equipments already in there and I think that I’ve seen cleaners going through the units.

It’s tougher to see the Marriott tower but the few units I’ve gotten a glimpse of look fully furnished.

Looks like a nice amenity space! hope they put some actual plants in there, the fake grass doesn't inspire me though.

They have trees planted in the dirt areas. I think the bigger green space is for dogs, its fenced off and has a gate (I'm not sure why else you'd do that).

It looks like they've started updating their website.

I guess I was right about the fake grass being a dog run. I'm really surprised at how big the apartments are, the smallest unit will be 507 sq ft. Their incentives to start will be 1 month free + $1000 off of rent and a $500 security deposit.

For those of you unhappy with the integration with the 5th street underpass, there is some engagement taking place in anticipation for re-do:

5 Street SW Underpass Enhancement

The 5 Street Underpass Enhancement project’s goal is to provide a safe, well-lit underpass to improve the overall user experience.

Walked by/through today - public realm is framed nicely and look forward to seeing the retail space start to be activated. I have some concerns when the loading zone/valet parking that comes in off of 10th Avenue, as this could very quickly detract from its functional space for pedestrians but it may have the right design elements to break up the feel as a space for vehicles.

So... it glows?

Haven't seen that before, but now I've gotta check it out in person.

Woah...who knew? Nice surprise!
