Let me try to generalize my original "too nitpicky" comment - I don't agree it will all be fine if we get lots of density and height without getting the interface with 17th Avenue and the future LRT corridor. Building is fine, height is fine - it's the street interactions that I am concerned with.

There won't be much of an interface with the future LRT corridor. It is not like a station is going there. It will be a fenced off rail line that people are not supposed to interact with. That alone will kill any potential for a "high street" on this portion of 17th Avenue, not to mention the massive retaining wall across the street from here, and the backs of single family homes that are a bit west as well. 17th isn't the street this building is designed to interface with. 77th is.
 
It's crazy how much desnity is coming into this area, and fast. There's no way at this point that they city/developers can pass up the opportunity of having a station for the West LRT extension be east of 85 ST SW. Skipping all this to have the next stop in a dead zone west of 85 ST would be idiotic.
 
Slokker has submitted a DP for their next townhome project, called Aurora. It is on the east side of 81st Street, across from their Juniper townhome project:

I finally got out to get some construction photos in this area.

Spring Hill Estates (hard to get a good photo due to the amount of construction activity going on around it):

Truman's Willows Phase 3 (the last of the first 5 buildings, the other 4 are occupied are very close to it):
